Good Ground Does Not Guarantee One HundredFold

Have you ever wondered why, in the parable of the sower in Matthew 13, the seeds
deposited on the good ground brought forth 30, 60, and some a hundredfold? Since it's good ground, there should be a hundredfold harvest period!

Before we expose the revelation of this particular biblical passage. Let us bring meaning to understanding the symbols mentioned in this scripture. Firstly, The sower in this parable would be the Preacher; the seeds would be the word of God. The different grounds that the seed was sown in would represent the hearts of men.

The story then goes on to say how each heart received the word, but its reaction to the word of God was different in comparison to each other. Now, I understand why the different grounds the seeds were sown into before the good ground did not pan out well. However, what always baffled me was the fact that shouldn't the seeds that were planted into the good ground automatically produce 100-fold? After all, it is good ground, right? Why is it that even though the ground was good in some cases, 100-fold was not guaranteed or achieved? In fact, it clearly says that even on the good ground, it would only produce some 30 and 60 fold. What was causing the good ground not to produce 100-fold for every seed planted?

Revelation time! As you would recall, the different grounds symbolize the hearts of men, and the seeds represent the word of God. The one sowing the seeds would be your preacher/Apostle/Bishop/Pastor, etc. Well, the good grounds represented the hearts of men receptive to God's word. Nevertheless, how much of the word of God they BELIEVE would determine how much of the word would be manifested to or for them.

For example, some churches do not believe in witchcraft, speaking in tongues, the gifts of the spirit, etc. So, as a result, they reject or dismiss scriptures that teach these things and how to operate in them. Therefore, they would see the manifestation of the scriptures they teach and believe in. Still, they leave their congregation ignorant and defenseless to the biblical teachings of the other scriptures that they dismiss. Thus, they only receive 30 and 60-fold of what the entire bible has promised.

This now explains why Jesus said, according to "YOUR" faith be it unto you, Matthew 9:29 and "All things are possible to "HIM" that "BELIEVE"" Mark 9:23. These two scriptures are a summary of the parable of the sower in Matthew 13. Even though you may be a Believer of Jesus Christ or a Christian (good ground), this does not entitle you to a hundredfold manifestation of the scriptures. Instead, it is the portions you believe will determine your 30, 60, or 100-fold. In other words, if you believe and have faith in parts of the scriptures, then expect portions in manifestations of the scriptures. On the other hand, if you believe and have faith in everything the bible says, expect a hundredfold manifestation of the scriptures in your life.

Regrettably, I have met many Pastors who do not believe in the existence of witchcraft, even though the bible speaks extensively of it, and have at the same time dismissed all biblical teachings of it. Unfortunately, their members are the ones who suffer because Satan uses this door of ignorance to take advantage of the spiritual law that says, "My people are destroyed because they lack knowledge" Hosea 4:6 and "My people are gone into captivity because they lack knowledge, Isaiah 5:13.

Any spiritual leader who insists on keeping you ignorant of spiritual laws and the overall teaching of the bible is a leader who customizes scripture to fit their selfish agenda to manipulate or even keep their members ignorant. If they are not giving you the unadulterated word of God in its entirety or insist that you only believe certain parts of the bible, then DO NOT EXPECT, ANTICIPATE OR LOOK FORWARD TO THE HUNDREDFOLD BLESSINGS IN YOUR LIFE!
