God’s Kingdom as an Umbrella Seed

 

Text: Luke 13:19 (KJV)

It is a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden: and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

 

Have you ever asked yourself, what can profit us like God’s Kingdom? OrWhat is your imagination about the Kingdom of God? God’s kingdom is illustrated and likened as a grain of seed. A grain is very tiny, but when planted, it always grows to become a massive tree with thick branches that birds can build nests. Imagine a yeast added to the dough for bread, the impart of that small quantity is so much, making it to rise and it becomes bread, so it is with the Word of God. It might seem so small, but when planted, it germinates to bear more fruits, allowing others to depend on it. We should begin to appreciate what we enjoy in this Kingdom. It exists very differently from this earthly kingdom because of spiritual authority with different policy pattern. The principle involved are full of mysteries. We cannot understand it with our human intelligence.1 Corinthians 1:27- But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the mighty things. The foolishness of God is wiser and more reliable than any man’s greatest strength or wisdom. He knows everything inside and outside. There is no searching for His understanding. You can’t know Him enough, but He never gets tired of revealing more of himself to man. Whatever you have known about Him, He is far beyond all that, so let’s get back to the scriptures to learn more about Him.

 

And, we should not allow our minds to be blinded. 2 Corinthians 4:4- In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. The Gospel is a mystery, and being in the flesh, we cannot understand His personality and integrity; this makes us unable to see the best picture of the glorious Gospel of Christ. To the carnal mind, it is enmity against God, and this blinds the people of this world from believing in the Gospel.  Friends, God is working in us, and He is giving us the desire and the energy to do what pleases Him so that we can have a deep understanding of who He is in Jesus name.

 

PRAYER POINT:

1.       Oh Lord, help us to hunger for the Word of God like never before, as to appreciate whom God is for a glorious encounter in Jesus name.

ACTION QUOTE - Friends, you can allow your mind to be flooded with the light of the Gospel today, as to enjoy all purposed seed.
