Then He spoke many things to them in parables, saying: “Behold, a sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds came and devoured them. Some fell on stony places, where they did not have much earth; and they immediately sprang up because they had no depth of earth. But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered away. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up and choked them. 8 But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
Mathew 13:3-7 (NKJV)
When the multitude gathered, He spoke to them in parables urging them to take root firmly in the living word lest the persecutions, challenges, cares and legitimate concerns, material lure and quest to get rich quick derail, choke and blow them away from the real deal. The same applies to the present generation and particularly at this new beginning. We must be ready in season and out of season and firmly rooted in the one who is forever faithful. When the tide, surge, turmoil and tempest seasons come raging, they that trust in the LORD and take root in His word shall be like Mount Zion, Which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
Be encouraged,
Afolabi
