Why Seed Yields different levels of fruitfulness

Spiritual Growth | Salvation | Kingdom of God

Text: Matthew 13:1-23

Seed word: “But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” – Matthew 13:23 NKJV

There are very important lessons from our passage today. These include the agency of parables, the reception of seed (the word of God), and the benefits of understanding.

Christ explained why he spoke in parables and who the parables were meant for.

As Christ explained, parables are for people who have not yet become part of the kingdom and lack a perfect understanding of the things of the kingdom.

Jesus told the disciples that they were blessed for what they heard and saw. You need to gauge your spirituality if you still need the rudiments of parables.

The significance of the seed:

The word of God is a seed designed to bring fruits, but some did not germinate according to the parable.

Some fell by the wayside and were devoured by birds; some fell on rocky and thorny grounds. Each of these conditions limits the blessedness of the word.

Check if there are birds (spiritual powers) that hinder you from being blessed under the ministry of God’s word.

Some people are strong-willed; their minds are closed to receiving the revelation of God’s Word, and there is nothing any preacher can say except that their minds are open. Such people cannot be blessed.

Then some want to play in two kingdoms, and they want to have a mixture of the world and God. The thorns of the worldly systems choke the germinated seed. Don’t allow the mundane cares to choke the word of God.

The seed on the good ground germinated, but the fruitfulness level varied. Why? This is because the fruitfulness of the seed on the good ground depends on the level of understanding and actions of obedience taken.

Are you reaping 100% of the benefits of Jesus? It depends on your understanding and application of His words in your life.

The shades of disbelief have limited some people to a mere 30% when God wants 100%.

God’s words are kingdom seeds for maximum fruitfulness. Measure the level you are in and determine how to increase the level of your fruitfulness through your obedience to the written and spoken words of God.
