PHANERTOO~DEVOTION 18th November 2015 THE SEED OF FAITH II 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.

Faith does not have options. It does not have plan B. I have heard people say, ‘I believe God for healing but in the meantime, let me have my injections.’

Let me show you how the devil sows in you, the field.  The bible tells you that when men are asleep, the enemy sows another seed. He gives you another plan that differs from your original plan. He tells you that you can do this or that. The devil is not stupid; he is cunning.

The first level of warfare is when a Christian says, 'I am healed' and the devil tells him ‘no.' To prove that he is not healed, the devil will surround a man with lying vanities. The bible says that they that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

He will convince you that you were lying. When you sow that you are rich, he does not seek to show you that you are sick. He shows you that you are poor. When you say you are healed, he seeks to show you as one who is sick.

When he discovers you have found out his secrets, he will sow his seed but make sure it's close to your seed that when you pluck out the tare at the early age, you may pluck your seed also. That is why the wisdom of God is in waiting for both of them to grow.

If it gets too much and you cry, and men ask you why you are crying, tell them that it was not the pain that made you cry, but the joy. Tell them that you delayed because you wanted it perfect and not that the devil delayed it. When it grows, it will be cut.

Those things you call problems are stuff that someone sowed in you. Some people are suffering because of something they heard last year. But if you have faith, just wait for a bigger testimony. This present situation will not kill you, it also knows so.

You have the seed of faith. Just receive power to conceive. The Greek word in Sarah's miracle was the strength to receive seed and not the child. Some people want it, but they are not ready to receive it. If a person is ready, you can tell. The one who will give birth despite being barren prepares the child's cloths. The one that will get married prepares the budget and practices how to even walk. The one who expects to get healed, gets out of bed and goes to work.

If you want a job, with effect from today wake up at 6 am and go off to preach the gospel as one going to work. That is the seed of faith. However small, just have a seed. Do not mix your seed. Do not say you are healed and then later say you are sick.

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

You have the seed of faith. Just receive power to conceive.
