DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FROM MERCYLAND MINISTRIES MONDAY 22 FEBRUARY 2021
TOPIC: Check Your Soil
Today’s Scripture: “The seed that fell on good soil represents those who truly hear and understand God’s word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!”
Matthew 13:23, (NLT) NEW LIVING TRANSLATION Bible
Message: Jesus told a parable about a man who sowed seed on good ground, and it flourished, producing great crops. But some of the seed fell on rocky ground, and lacking soil and deep roots, its plants withered. Other seed fell among the thorns, and its plants were choked from growing. All the seed was the same quality; what made the difference was the soil.
You are a seed. You are full of gifts, talents, and potential. But if you plant yourself in unhealthy soil, if you hang around friends who compromise and pull you down, if you’re in an environment with limited resources, in an environment with mindsets where people tell you how you’ll never accomplish your dreams, you won’t see the growth you should. It’s not because there’s something wrong with your seed. It’s that the thorns and rocks are choking the life out of your seed—your dreams, your vision, and your character. Do your part and keep your seed in good soil.
Prayer for Today: “Father, thank You for the gifts and potential You put in me. Help me protect what You’ve entrusted to me by being selective about my environment. I believe that as I stay in the good soil, I am going to see increase and new levels. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
PROPHETIC DECLARATION: In the realm of the spirit, it is your location that determines your allocation. If you continue to settle with wasteland location, where your seeds, where your time and energy are wasted on rocky soil, (unproductive environment); and at the same time you’re expecting God to give more and more allocations of resources to you, definitely you may end up being disappointed. It’s however expected of you to pray and seek God’s face for a better relocation so as to receive better allocation from God. Hear what the Bible is saying to you today in the book of Isaiah chapter 30 verse 21. God said: *”Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, “This is the way; walk in it.”* I decree and declare that divine leading, divine intervention shall take you out of wasteland to a land of breakthrough. You shall be taken to a place of victorious new beginning in Jesus mighty name. You shall no longer experience diminishing returns in all areas of your endeavours. It is time for you to arise and shine because your season of bumper harvest has come in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
JESUS SAID: “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. Revelation chapter 22 verse 12 (NIV). Are you ready for the second coming of Jesus Christ? Please give your life to Jesus.
