Fruitful Words

Hi all, ever read the parable of the sower ?   it is it’s in Mark 4 :1-2

 ¹Again Jesus began to teach by the lake. The crowd that gathered around him was so large that he got into a boat and sat in it out on the lake, while all the people were along the shore at the water’s edge. ²He taught them many things by parables, and in his teaching said: ³“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed. ⁴As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. ⁵Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. ⁶But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. ⁷Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants, so that they did not bear grain. ⁸Still other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, multiplying thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times.”

 ⁹Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

 ¹⁰When he was alone, the Twelve and the others around him asked him about the parables. ¹¹He told them, “The secret of the kingdom of God has been given to you. But to those on the outside everything is said in parables ¹²so that,
   ” ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving,
      and ever hearing but never understanding;
   otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!

 ¹³Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable? ¹⁴The farmer sows the word. ¹⁵Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. ¹⁶Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. ¹⁷But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. ¹⁸Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; ¹⁹but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. ²⁰Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—thirty, sixty or even a hundred times what was sown.”

God is telling us that to be the good soil, the words of God should be fruitful in us, what does this mean? , I used to thought that if i am this fruitful land,, i produce fruits so that other people come and eat, i mean that i read the word of God and then in my service or in my daily life  i serve people with those fruits, i.e  i draw people more to God, i help them with the word of God, i know where exactly the part of the bible that is going to help this guy, or in my service i spread the word of God and so, my point is that ” if i am a good soil then other people are going to be closer to God  through me “.. do you get me ??.

but i have figured out that this is not exactly what the parable mean,sure people getting closer to God through me is a great thing. but God is telling me that if you are a good soil, that means that God’s words are going to be fruitful in my life, i am going to produce fruits for me, it’s when God throw his words on me ” words of God from the bible ” those words fall on me and i live them in my life , that’s the producing of the fruit, like when God tells in psalm 40:4″How blessed is the man who has made the LORD his trust,And has not turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood.”

this is God’s word, God is telling me ” put your  trust in me, trust me, don’t turn to others don’t turn to lies , trust me”

how am i going to be fruitful, it means that i believe those words, those words be living in my life, those words be in my heart and in my mind, it’s like i say ” God made this word fruitful in me, not just be words that i forget or words that i remember for a while and then go, no make them words that i live, words that i believe, that i trust you and put my life in your hands, if someone tells me something and you tells other thing, i trust you and i believe you not the other one” got me ? the fruits of the word of God is living them and believing them, not just as i read the bible and after i finish i remember the words but i am not living them.

like in john 15:12-14 “¹²My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. ¹³Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. ¹⁴You are my friends if you do what I command.” How those words are going to be fruitful, i tell God please i want to live your words , i want to do what you command, i want to love , i want to live this command, if i have hatred or issues that are keeping me from loving others  i want those feelings to go away,i want to love, and i want to believe and have it in my heart tht you died for me, and that i am your friend if i do what you command, the next time someone says something else or i think of something that is different than this, if i say that no this one hurt me  i can’t love him/her, i want your words to give fruits i want to love this one, i want to live your words.

this is what i get from being a good soil , that when God tells me something, i live this thing, when he tells me something through the bible, through a book, through a preaching,or anyother thing, i hold those words of God in my heart and i pray that they produce fruits ( that i live them) not just fall on me and satan take them away ,or work with them for a while and then disappar ,or when i live the word and troubles or presecutions come because of the word it falls away,or the thorns (¹⁹but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful) makes the words in me but i am not doing anything with them ( not living them, but i want to be like the others in the next verse: ” ²⁰Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—thirty, sixty or even a hundred times what was sown.”,, .

God loves us and  we should ask him that each time he scatters his words on us , we  hear those words, accept them and produce a crop  thrity ,sixty,or even a hundred times what was sown.

and sure by living the word of God, by getting closer to God, God will use us to bring people to him.

I hope you got my point , please ask about anything or say your point of view if you like to .

God bless
