Planted to bear fruits 2

Midweek service:
Teacher: Pastor Cyracus Anyanwu

Parable of the sower
Roadside ground: there was not enough contact time between seed and ground.
Stony ground: challenge is that heat dries it up, cause it has no root. Eg emotional christians
This need to invest in personal study, ask questions from people who know so they can understand, get study or prayer partners. Strive to be a complete christian, grounded to be able to stand when temptations come. Knowledge of the word will make you to understand the blessings that come from overcoming temptations and trials. And equip you to overcome.
2nd Corithians 4:17
God sets a boundary for every temptation, making sure its not more you can handle.
James 1:12
2 Timothy 3:12
Overcoming trials and temptation and affliction is easy when you focus on the glory to come after; not on the persecution at present.
Hebrews 12:2
Thorny Ground:
Luke 8:7
It is the sower that can uproot the thorns, the seed cannot succeed if he tries to compete with the thorns. The thorns are better adapted to grow there. So they have no fruit.
Luke 8:14, Mark 4:18-19
These are mature christians who have the holy spirit but do not allow him to have absolute control of all areas of their lives. Eg in business. They set boundaries for the Lordship of Christ In their lives.
Matthew 6: 24-34
1st Timothy 6:9-10
1 peter 5:7
Jame 1:14-15
Good ground: a ground is called good only after it has produced fruits.
Hebrews 6:7-8
Bearing fruits require patience. Keeping the word inspite of sun, thorns, stone requires patience. Hide the word, so the enemy can't steal it because it is precious to you.
Philipians 3: 7-10
Counting all other things as dung, treat the Word as precious.
Hebrews 12:1
The word of God is potent enough to bear fruits in all hearts, we need understanding, obedience and patience to bear fruits.
