WHAT USUALLY HAPPENS EVERY SUNDAY IN ALL CHURCHES.

Do you know this scripture happens every Sunday? Luke 8: 5 – 15.
Luke 8:5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and then fowls of the air devoured it.
In every Sunday services:
➡️ The workers and Pastor in Charge are the sowers.
➡️ The activities done during the service are the seed sown.
➡️The activities are Prayer, music and word ministration.
What happened to these seeds that these people sown every Sunday services? In Luke 8:12 – 15 Jesus Christ explained it.
 The heart of the congregation are referred to the different types of ground in which the seed fell.
• Luke 8:12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then comes the devil, and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
 The fellows just come to church for coming sake and because they don’t want to stay at home on a Sunday morning. During the service they use their phone for social media and some their minds are wandering about.
• Luke 8:13 Those on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
 These fellows are people when a season of harassment of the enemy and difficulty come to them, they whither and fall away, for they have no root in the truth and their faith is temporary.
• Luke 8:14 And that which fell among thorns are they which; when they have heard: Go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
These fellows came to church but they are much more concerned about food, clothes and shelter immediately they step out of the church they forget about the message and think about how to survive for the new week.
• Luke 8:15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
These fellows they hear, receive the word with joy, believe and in the time of harassment of the enemy and difficulty they use the word as a weapon of faith to overcome and produce fruit of the Spirit.
In conclusion, what type of ground are you? That is, what is the condition of your heart and mind when you at place of worship? What do you do with the word, music and prayer ministration you heard from church service?
What effect does these ministration have on you for the new week? We all are guilty of this topic in one way and other. Christ want us to hear, receive the word with joy, believe it and in the time of harassment of the enemy and difficulty we should use the word as a weapon of faith to overcome challenges and produce fruit of the Spirit.
In a nutshell Christ want our heart to be among the category of people on a good gound.
