RESTORATION TODAY
FRIDAY 27TH JANUARY 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: WHEN WEEDS SPRING UP.
Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. Matthew 13: 24 ? 25.
Jesus is telling a parable in Matthew 13 about a man who went out to his field and planted wheat in the ground. He sowed good seed.
This represents that he was doing the right thing, honouring God with his life, and being good to others. But while he slept, an enemy came in and planted weeds. The man didn?t know what had happened. He was expecting to have a great harvest; after all, he did all the right things. But the weeds sprang up among his wheat.
Sometimes, things happen in life. Weeds spring up that we didn't have anything to do with. The key is to keep the right attitude and stay focused on the goodness of God. When these unexpected challenges happen, we can say, ?It?s just another weed. I didn't sow it. I don't have to reap it. Then we can keep the door open for God to move on our behalf.
Today, don't let the weeds take root. Don't let discouragement creep in. instead, lift up your eyes of faith to what your Father God can do for you. Keep believing, keep praying and keep hoping because your harvest is on the way!
ACTION POINTS
When the weeds of life's unexpected challenges spring up, keep your focus on the goodness of God not on the weeds!
SCRIPTURES:
