God's Word is His Seed on the Earth

I have already shared on how God’s Word is Living and Active and how it has already been established here on this earth. His Word shows us who we are in Christ and what we have inherited as believers.  It is our instruction book to show us how to live a healthy, blessed, prosperous and fruitful life. I believe that it is important to understand that this is what God’s Word is for so that we can grow by its truth and start seeing God’s kingdom outworking in our lives.

In Matthew 13, Luke 8:9-15 and Mark 4 Jesus shares several parables on how God’s Kingdom operates. My personal favourite is the Parable of the Sower because Jesus compares the sowing of natural seed with God’s Word. He reveals that God’s Word is His seed on the earth.

The seed is the word of God. Luke 8:11

Jesus used what the people of that day understood. It’s a simple yet powerful analogy of how God’s Kingdom (nature, power and ability) comes, grows and outworks in our lives.

In the natural earthly realm, God created plants to reproduce after themselves through the growth and germination of seeds. He created a seed with everything within itself to reproduce after its own kind. So when the seed is planted it will come to life, grow and bear fruit. In like manner EVERYTHING has already been programmed into the seed of God’s Word so that when it is sown, ALL BY ITSELF it will come to life, grow and bear fruit in your life!

To be Continued….

I want you to meditate on this simple truth for the next couple of days and also to think on how natural seeds were created to work.  Then hopefully as I build on my message it will come alive!

God's Word has ALREADY Been Established

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my Words will never pass away. Matt 24:35

God’s Word is eternal because His Word stands true forever. This means it is the same today as it was when it was first spoken or written. God does not alter His Word or take back what He has said because it is impossible for Him to change His mind or to lie (Heb 6:18).

My Covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. Ps 89:34 (KJV)

Our Covenant cannot be broken because it wasn’t made between God and men but between God and Himself (Heb 6:13- 18). God has chosen to bind Himself to His Word. He swore by Himself, so it can never be broken (see Is 45:23 and Heb 6:13).

God has already established His Word and Covenant here on this earth. Every provision within it is signed and sealed by the blood of Jesus. When we accepted Christ’s sacrifice we entered into relationship with God and into this Covenant. This means that all that belongs to God now belongs to us. He took our sickness, pain, shame, lack and loss and gave us His health, love, acceptance, fruitfulness and prosperity in every area of our lives!

For where there is a last will and testament involved, the death of the one who made it must be established. For a will and testament is valid and takes effect only at death, since it has no force or legal power as long as the one who made it is alive.Heb 9:16-17 (Amp)

If our earthly parents died and left us possessions in a will then we wouldn’t have to pray, beg or plead for them - we would have inherited them. We would simply need to go and take possession of our new belongings.  We don’t need to ask for what already belongs to us, we simply go and possess what God has already provided through His Son.

Now that is Good News!

God's Word is Living and Active!

Sadly there is a lot of confusion when it comes to God’s Word. Many misinterpret or don’t understand what it is saying so they don’t take the time to read it for what it is worth.  But when you take the time to not just read the literal words but instead digest the message of what the words are saying, they will come alive and become a source of life to you!

My words are spirit and they are life. John 6:63 NIV

I love how the Message Version translates this Scripture…

The Spirit can make life. Sheer muscle and willpower don’t make anything happen. Every word I’ve spoken to you is a Spirit- word, and so it is life-making. John 6:63 (Msg)

When we need a breakthrough, it is so easy to get caught up in works, self-effort and performance mode where we do everything in our own power to see things change.  But through God’s Word we have access to His power because His Words are spirit and life. They are not just ink on paper!  So if we embrace the simple, yet powerful truth they bring they can transform our whole life!

Heb 4:12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

The Amp Says…For the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active, operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.

We all need to grow in God’s Word and this is two-fold: we need to allow God’s Word to grow in us plus we ourselves need to also grow up in the Word!   Jesus Himself told us that we should not live on bread alone but on every Word that comes from the mouth of God (Matt 4:4).  We therefore need to learn how to feed and chew on what the Word says so that we can release the life within.

Like newborn babies, you must crave pure spiritual milk so thatyou will grow into a full experience of salvation. Cry out for this nourishment. 1 Pet 2:2 (NLT)

God wants us to experience the fullness of His Salvation!  The Greek word for Salvation means to be complete, perfect and whole in every area of life.  Salvation, is not just about the forgiveness of sins because what Jesus purchased was for every area of life.

Therefore start meditating on the truth of what God’s Word says to overthrow wrong attitudes and thoughts so that your minds can be renewed and lives transformed as a result.

God's Word is His will for our Lives!

Did you realise that you can know God’s will for your life?

God’s will for you isn’t what the doctors say, what your symptoms say, what your diagnosis is, what your bank balance is or what the natural circumstances dictate; but rather what His Word says!  It is therefore important that we dig into God's Word so that we can discover what it says and understand His perfect will for every area of our lives.  And once we know what it says we then need to start renewing our mind with its truth so that our thinking can be transformed and we can believe it for ourselves.

There may be times in our lives when our circumstances don’t line up with the Word, and we may conclude that what happened was God’s will for that situation.  But we need to realise that God’s Word isn’t proven or disproven by our personal experiences.  When our circumstances don’t line up with what the Word says, we shouldn’t judge or assume it is God’s will.  Instead we should continue to make what God’s Word says to be the final authority, because when we live by that truth that is when it can become reality in our lives.

We can be certain that God’s cannot act contrary to His own Word.  God will never break His Word – ever!  He has sworn by Himself so we can be confident that He will always keep His promises.

Now that is Good News!
