MANIFESTING ALL YOU HAVE RECEIVED - Making Full Proof Series 002
Matthew 13:22, KJV
"He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful."
I pray for you just as it is in God's heart that you'll manifest what you have received. You're a debtor of what you have received - from God or any blesser in your life. You reward your teacher badly when you become nothing with his effort in your life.
If you're a student on scholarship especially who keeps failing, I tell you, you're not manifesting what you have received. As a matter of fact, you're a waster who's strangling what he could become if he maximizes that privilege that was allocated to him free of charge.
The sower sows but the seeds fall into different habitats. These habitats in turn determine what happen to the seeds sown. The seeds sown amidst the thorns are those who heard the Word of God but which the worries of life or the illusion of becoming superbly wealthy chokes their received seeds. As such, the Word is not fruitful in their hearts (v.22).
Let me take off by saying, there's no one God has not given to. He sows - He gives to all but you're a determiner of the condition which the Word of God will meet you. Some will not prepare the ground for the Word; they will not clear off their worries that could contest the fruitfulness of the Word in them. If the Word is sown but with no understanding through meditating on it, how can it be beneficial when you're deeply steeped and preoccupied in other thoughts? As such, this set of people can't manifest the investment of God or the Word in them though they've been given seeds like those with ready hearts who later brought forth in the degrees of their hearts' preparation - in hundreds, sixties and thirties.
"But he that received seed into the good ground is he that hears the Word, and understands it; which also bears fruit, and brings forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty" (v.23).
You must seek to manifest what you have received. The reason is because you'll hate it and have yourself to blame when you see what others who received the Word like yourself become with theirs. What others become with it is what we have chronicled in the story of the seeds that fell on good ground. Like a congregation under a pastor would manifest his words differently - some who received it well will not only get equipped by the truth they heard but they will go on to equip others with the same truth. In that parable, some made full proof of the Word sown to them than others and that gives birth to the varying degrees of productivity we saw.
Are you manifesting what you're given or you're swallowing it to nothingness. God wants you to answer this question by probing your life. God isn't a waster of investment. He'll call you to account of all investments and contributions of His into your life. So, seek to manifest all deposits brought into your life. Even if you won't manifest it in hundred fold, let God see that you become something with what you've heard and through the ministration you have received. However, let hundred fold maximization and output be your chase.
PRAYER: I shall not be lesser than God plans for me. I shall become and become all. I shall yield and yield maximal output.
