Stony Heart
Matt. 13:5-6, 20-21
        The seeds that fell on stony places have no depth for survival. This seed here sprung but withered because of the high temperature of the sun for lack of deep root.The heart in this place receives God’s word with joy in short time because of lack of rootto hold the word, the word was unable to pierce the stony (hard) heart. You should allow the word of God to pierce through your heart so when temptation or persecution arises you will be able to stand firm.

Point of Emphasis: Allow God’s word to be deep rooted in you.

Prayer Point: Lord, allow Your word to be established in me.

The Gospel Faith Mission Int. Daily devotion Thurs. 5/1/2017 Seeds By The Wayside Matt.13:4-19

The seed represents the word of God which has no central position because of where it fell. The seed that fell by the wayside is the word of God without full and proper understanding. The word of God has no effect and it cannot be practised because of inadequate understanding. We should all know this that the word of God read and heard must be as well understood and interpreted so that it can have good impact in our lives(Jos. 1:8). The devil and anxiety of this world will be unable to take such words away from you.

Point of Emphasis: Get full and proper understanding of His word.

Prayer Point: Lord,let your word have good effect in my life.

The Gospel Faith Mission Int. Daily devotion Wed. 4/1/2017 Why Did Jesus Speak In Parable? Matt. 13:10-13

We do not like to disclose in public certain things about our lives and ourselves especially those things that pertain to our secret. We absolutely select confidants and trusted friends whom we share such things with. Jesus Christ adopted the use of parable in His teachings to encode the mysteries of the kingdom. By encoding, those who are part of the kingdom will have no access to its meaning and those who come closer from the multitude, showing willingness and hunger for the truth, will ha e access to the unwrapped truth. This is why the gospel is foolishness to the unsave who don't want to be saved

Point of Emphasis; You do not know it all, allow the Holy Spirit to unwrap the secret of His word to u.

Prayer point: Lord,give me quick understanding to know and understand your word
