At last night's prayer meeting, we said, "Be people who do God's word.

Last night at our prayer meeting, we spoke from James 1:22, "Do the word of God."
This morning, we'll discuss how those who hear and accept the word bear much fruit!
Today, I'll write about one of Jesus' most famous parables, the Parable of the Sower.
It describes what happened to seeds that fell into four different types of soil.
The "seeds" represent Jesus' teachings, and the four types of soil represent the four different states of mind (land) of those who heard Jesus' words.
The first case is those who are moved and impressed by Jesus' words but do not put them into practice.
In contrast, the seeds that bear 30, 60, and 100 times the fruit are those of people who hear Jesus' words and diligently put them into practice in their daily lives. …These kinds of humble efforts may not see the light of day at first…
Eventually,
they will gain trust and bear much fruit❗️.
…I was absolutely certain that even though I went to church, I would never become a Christian
but…😥
When I saw their tearful prayers
…🧐
I was impressed, thinking, "These are trustworthy people. These are amazing people."
After that,
I became a Christian 😅💦
…For Christians to bear 100 times their fruit…being trustworthy…is the first condition❗️.
Shalom 😃
