As we look at ways to grow spiritually, we know that our faith needs to be active and growing. Another thing we need to grow spiritually is to be planting continually for continual harvest. It is important that we keep planting the Word in our life, by hearing it preached, by reading it, by studying it, and by listening to it on CD. There are so many ways to hear the Word. If we want a continual harvest, we need to keep on planting! I’m sure everyone has gone through a dry season in their spiritual walk before. One thing that I have found is instead of hearing less of the Word during dry times, it is actually a time that you need more. If we want to harvest year round, we need to keep planting year round. Your spirit is thirsty for the Word. God’s stamp in your life, your DNA, your spiritual makeup is a Faith Person. He made you in His image, and He is a faith God. The real you on the inside feeds on and is nourished by the Word. We know that Jesus was the Word made flesh, so more of Him in your life only does a body good! Not only do we need more of Him, we need to keep the cares of life, distractions and anything that keeps us from receiving the word out of our life. That is how we nurture our soil.
The Word goes into soil, and we determine what kind of soil we are. We definitely want to be good soil, free of weeds, free of thorns, and deep and rich. Good soil (that’s who you are), hears the Word, accepts it and produces a healthy crop. That’s what we want to be. Jesus said this is the Secret of the Kingdom. The law of the Farm, or the principle of sowing and reaping, that is the secret. Keep planting to keep reaping. God’s secret has been given to us. Let’s fill our lives with the Word, and grow by leaps and bounds this year.
