Wisdom To Grow – 1

Apostle Grace Lubega

Matthew 13:8-9(KJV); But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Even in good ground, the yield differs.

Our theme scripture reveals this truth, that when some seeds fell in good ground, some brought forth a hundredfold, some sixtyfold and some thirtyfold.

Listening to the same teacher and attending the same church does not mean that people grow at the same pace.

Growth is a personal choice. However, there are a number of things that determine the level of your results.

For example, what is your capacity to receive meat? In 1 Corinthians 3:2, Paul tells the Church at Corinth, ‘I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.’

Paul was an excellent teacher. He laid the foundation of the gospel and had insight into great mysteries of the kingdom of God. But there were Christians he was incapable of feeding on meat because they could not bear it.

It is not possible for a Christian who is unable to bear meat to yield a hundredfold.

How receptive is your spirit to deeper insights in God?
Are you only comfortable with hearing the things that will solve your present problems or with things that will take you deeper in God?

Are you the kind of Christian who will think that a sermon is ‘yours’ because the preacher mentioned that God is opening doors for you to go out of the country or do you think a sermon is ‘yours’ because it exposes you to deeper places in the realm of the spirit?

Your ability to bear spiritual truths will always determine your fruit.

Allow God to cultivate in you a hunger for greater insights into His person.

His name be praised.

GOLDEN NUGGET:

Your ability to bear spiritual insights will always determine your fruit.

PRAYER: Father, I am grateful for this Word. I know that I receive from good ground and I am good ground. I choose to yield my spirit to the things by which I grow. I hunger for deeper knowledge, wisdom and understanding. I seek after greater insights in the realm of the spirit. The hundredfold blessing is mine. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
