Matt 13:24-25 The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in the field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat and went away.
Matt 15:13 He replied, ‘Every plant my heavenly father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots’
Matt 13: 3-9 … “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on the rocky places, where it did not have much of soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scotched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop – hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. He who has ears, let him hear”
The above verses talk of something that is very important: seed (s). First about a man sowing seed and the enemy sowing his while they slept, then next a farmer who sows his seed on different grounds and having them grow differently. Then Jesus gives the remedy of seeds sown by the enemy.
Likewise we have seed sown daily in our lives; some are good seed while others are bad seed. When we are alert and see the Lord, he plants good seed in us, either by listening to his word or by reading it. The enemy too interferes with what is planted in us, either by planting his while we sleep, especially when we are not spiritually alert, or he can interfere with the growth of what is in us.
What happens next? If we have good soil in us, the seed sown in us grows, if we let the enemy to interfere with our seed either withers or has evil seed planted. Bad seed planted in us spiritually has to be uprooted for us to bear fruits, good seed in us has to grow healthy and bear to the maximum. We MUST be productive, we MUST grow to maximum, we MUST be alert that the enemy doesn’t come to sow his seed in us, we MUST prepare our hearts well to have the seed planted in us to bear fruits. Do you sense spiritual barrenness in your life, stunted or slow growth, loss of focus, that you are not reaching your maximum potential etc?. Do you feel the enemy is interfering with your seed? Craft prayers lie the ones below and stand firm on your ground in faith:
- Thank you father that your word sown in my life is a divine seed in my life
- Lord I pray, Let every hardened ground in me be finely ploughed in Jesus name
- Let every shallow ground in my life be made deep for the growth of your word, and the seed in me
- Let every power of the devil that comes to steal or scotch the seed in me die in Jesus name
- I command every thief who has stolen the seed in my life return it seven times in Jesus name
- I arrest every thief that comes at night to steal my seed or plant wicked seed in Jesus name i destroy them in Jesus name. I release my seed by fire in Jesus name.
- I uproot every seed or wicked plantation sown by my enemies in Jesus name and i burn it by the fire of the holy spirit in Jesus name
- Let your word sown in me grow to produce a hundred times, sixty or even thirty times. Protect it by the power of your name
- I Bless your name Lord for your faithfulness in my life
(If you don’t uproot the seedlings while young, you will need to cut them down when they grow. Read a continuation of this under the title The Battle axe of the Lord)
