PHANEROO~DEVOTION 17th November 2015 THE SEED OF FAITH Apostle Grace Lubega

[Matthew 13:24-30]; 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.  But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?  But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.

You do not have to rebuke or fight certain things now. The testimony is sweeter much later. Leave certain things alone. Keep them and let the real thing grow. I learnt a mystery; the devil never sows before a Christian sows. That is why David said, before I was afflicted, I went astray. The devil does not afflict you before you go astray. First you go astray, then he oppresses you. The devil sows after the pattern of what you have sowed. I am not talking about money. The seed is the word of God.

The sower first sows the word and then his enemy sows another thing- tares. The Greek word for tares is ‘zizanion' which means false grain, something fake. When a person sows the word, the devil gets a fake word and also sows it because the ground sowed into can grow any seed.

When God sowed a seed in Abraham, he laughed. When it got out of him, and entered Sarah, she also laughed. This means that they doubted. Those are called tares. For every word you sowed, tares will be sowed. The enemy will bring the tares and these can grow when the real seed takes form.

While they slept, the enemy sowed bad seed. However, the enemy is stupid. He does not know that while men sleep, the Lord who watches over them never sleeps nor slumbers. When he sows, papa God is awake.  He watches the devil do his things and laughs while he grants sleep to those he loves. God knows how to destroy the effect of the tares and prepares what can have you the expected seed. He knows how to watch over his word. The moment you say, ‘I am healed’, he guards it.

Tares came up in Abraham. Abraham and Sarah made a mistake and laughed yet the meaning of Isaac is he laughs. The Hebrew account tells us that Abraham staggered not at the promise yet Genesis says that he laughed. It means that tares have a way of wiring you into faith.

Even that doubt is becoming faith. It is nolonger about whether you will get married. The issue is, are you ready? It is not about whether you will resurrect the dead. The question is, are you ready? That simple.
Do not worry about the tares. When they grow, we will burn them. Keep saying that you will not die. Do not worry about whether the disease continues or not. The tares will be burnt. God makes his servants flames of fire. The devil will run away without you having to chase him.

Excerpt from the sermon: THE SEED OF FAITH by Apostle Grace Lubega

You do not have to rebuke or fight certain things now. The testimony is sweeter much later. Leave certain things alone. Keep them and let the real thing grow.
