Look at the parable below: The seed is the Word of God. It's sown in our hearts and right away the devil try's to snatch it away. God's sowing everyday, and the enemy is prowling about like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.
Then there is the Word that when tribulation or persecution arises because of God's Word, this person has no root, and so God's Word withers away.
Then there are those for whom the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, (I know that riches tend to make me trust in them rather than trust in God's provision) they then choke out God's Word, and he becomes unfruitful.
Have we become unfruitful? Now we know why.
Let's go and bear fruit again for God. Let's live for Him!!
Matthew 13: 18 “Therefore hear the parable of the sower: 19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. 20 But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; 21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles. 22 Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. 23 But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” (Thanks Bible Gateway!)
