The sower sows the word. Mark 4.14

How many Christians are sowing hatred, misunderstanding, and failure in the lives of other people without knowing? They do not know that this is to be a scandal, something even more serious than abusing a child or a disabled person. Jesus said that the person who brings a scandal will be severely punished. He started the warning by saying, woe to he who “causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble” (Mk 9.42). Have mercy, Lord!

A man should only sow the Good Seed, the Word of God. Undoubtedly, everyone would do a great good to society if they did not say negative or unnecessary things. But unfortunately, the world is filled with self-entitled doctors of spiritual issues, who speak of what they do not understand. When they open their mouths, they cause more harm than if they kept them closed. We should only sow the Truth.

Our words are like seeds that will germinate according to their species. If we are negative, and use the language of men, the techniques of a branch of science, or the doctrines of a religion to help these people to draw near to God, we cause evil to those who want to hear us. Only the Word of the Lord can solve problems.

Jesus ordered us to go throughout the world and preach the Gospel, the Good News, which is the most precious Seed placed in our hands by the Creator. It does not matter how long it will stay in a heart; if it is watered, it will reveal its potential, and thus, it will be born out of faith, and the Lord will be glorified. Whoever sows the Truth does what is best for the lost.

The Almighty gave us the word of healing, but we only pray for the sick. Doing this is not completely wrong; however, we never read that Jesus did so. He healed the sick. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God, and it gives us power to do the same as the Master. Whoever does so will see the same miracles happening in their ministry. The world has too much religion already, but it has almost nothing of the same Gospel that was preached.

We must pray asking for wisdom to plant the right word, use the power that was entrusted to us and not put our Father to shame. On the contrary, not only will we lose our time, but we will also help the deceiver. If we are positive in the same way that the Lord was in His days on Earth, and if we do the same things that He did, there will not be even one impossible case for us. Whoever plants the Good Seed sees wonders happening.

Be a sower of the Word at all moments, and thus, you will see a surprising result, for God is not mocked. Whoever sows in the Spirit will reap healings, wonders, and great signs from High. Those who sow in the flesh are always talking about others, complaining about everything and about God. Be a good sower.

In Christ, with love,
