"Do not sow seeds among thorns." "Cultivate the soil well.

"Do not sow seed among thorns."...🤔❓️

...It means to cultivate the land well, remove stones, rubbish, weeds and thorns, and sow seed in well-cultivated ground!

...What are "thorns"? 🤔❓️
As it says, worldly concerns and the deceit of riches choke the word of God,
people are put in a situation where they cannot bear fruit...
That person's worldly thoughts must be broken, and their heart cultivated!

...Hosea 10:12.

"Sow seed of righteousness, reap the fruit of faithfulness.
...Cultivate the field.
Now is the time to seek the Lord,
and he will come and pour out righteousness upon you."
...What God is asking for now is...
to convey the gospel of the Bible without any additives.

…Some churches interpret the Bible according to worldly common sense… or take a part of the Bible and say, "We will prosper!"

There are some churches that make biased interpretations!

…Fake prophets have also appeared and are misleading Christians…😢

✳️There are people running ads online saying, "Prepare for the next three years in Japan…😨"
Ignore them!

Matthew chapter 6 says,
"Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself."
…The rapture of Jesus is approaching…
That day…could be tomorrow…🤔
The next three years will be okay…😨❓️
…I understand that this work also belongs to the thorns!

…"Sow righteousness, reap the fruit of faithfulness."

Shalom 😃
