Today morning I woke up early to seek God. As I was praying I had this vision. I saw a hand plucking out weeds. And the vision stopped. I knew God was trying to tell me something as the vision is still fresh in my spirit.
God speaks to me through my own note. I was moved to write a note on the Parable of the Weed.
Matthew chap 13 : 24-30
Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’
28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.
“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First, collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”
When I was reading this parable, I noticed something. The weeds were planted by an enemy. What are weeds actually?
A weed is basically a plant growing the in the wrong place. It was not suppose to be there.
Do you all have weeds in your life today? It is not from God. In any good garden, we wouldn’t want any weeds. We would pluck the weeds off to ensure the garden turns beautiful. Your garden can be anything today. It can be your family, your life, or your work. Are there weeds? Are they struggle? It can even be our hearts. Is there a lot of bitterness, unforgiveness, or hurt inside ourselves? The good news is God is removing the weeds.
Take courage in the Lord. The enemy has been defeated. The weeds are plucked off. Do not remain like the unbelievers. Do not be a false believer! Trust Jesus!
How do we take the stand to pluck the weeds?
1st John chap 4: 15:If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God.
This verse clearly instructs us to pluck the weeds out of our life. Remember we must pluck the weeds out. Do not feed the weeds. Stop feeding the weeds with fear, worries and giving any room to the devil to add more weeds. Pluck it out. Rebuke Satan and the demonic powers upon your life or your loved ones right now! You can do it because as He is so are we in the world. REBUKE IT! PLUCK THE WEED OFF!
