‘We Should Be Good
Ground.’
Matthew 13:18-23.
a) Matthew 13:18. This is
something that the Lord wants us to hear or read.
b) Matthew 13:19. Are we
pathway where the Seed of the Word of God is taken away from our lives by the
Evil One?

rocky ground and the Seed of the Word of God has no real affect on our lives we
cannot endure.
d) Matthew 13:22. Is the
Seed of the Word of God being choked up in our lives by the cares of the World
system and the deceitfulness of riches?
e) Matthew 13:23. Are we
good ground for the Seed of the Word of God:-
1- We hear the Word of God.
2- We understand the Word of God.
3- We bear fruit because of the Word of God.
(This Second one reminds me that I Should Be
Good Ground, the type of ground I am does not depend on fate, it depends on me)
Chris.
Righteousness will go before the Lord,
preparing the Way for Him. Sometimes we try, especially in the Church, to plan
a programme and then try to make the Lord do something in or for our programme.
This is not the way. Righteousness goes before the Lord! Before we can expect
anything positive to happen in the Church we need to be living out the
Righteousness that is by Faith in the Finished Work of Christ for our lives.
