Tips for gardening

“These are the ones sown on the good soil; they hear the word and accept it and bear fruit, thirty and sixty and a hundred-fold.” – Mark 4:20

A certain gentleman who was reading a book on gardening tips, noted an important point. It denotes how cautious a gardener should be regarding the fertility of the soil. It is given that we need not worry about the plant if the soil is good because soil only nurtures plants and helps them thrive and flourish exuberantly. 

Those who hear the word of God and accept it and bear fruit are like the good soil. They are the ones who hear the gospel and allow it to seep in and take root in their heart till the image of God is created in them. If the word of God is accepted with submission, the Holy Spirit enables it to grow and bear fruit. Our heart must be prepared like soil to accept the word of God with obedience and if so, there will be growth in our spiritual life. Then only the harvest of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ for the glory and praise of God can be produced.

What type of soil is our heart? Let us ponder. If our heart is more deceitful and desperately sick, let us offer the following prayer faithfully. “God, I come to you and surrender myself to you as I am. God, change my heart to become good soil. Sow the seed of your word in my heart-soil. Help the seed to grow and take root. I dedicate myself to you and to obey your words. Amen. Let us pray with faith. Definitely the Holy Spirit will crush the stone like unspiritual traits found in our heart-soil. Unspiritual traits which are deep rooted like weeds will be pulled out. Rocks of pride and envy will be broken to pieces. The Holy Spirit will descend like dew into our heart to drench it and His grace will rain upon us. The sun of righteousness will rise and shine upon us. We will grow and bear fruit that will last. 

Beloved, as we read in Psalm 1 that those who meditate day and night on the law of the Lord are like trees planted by streams of water and in all that they do, they prosper. This promise is given only to us. Hallelujah!
