The Good Seed and the Tares

The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one -Matt 13:38.

The kingdom of God(the domains which are identified as God's own, the people who really are said to be godly, those whose lives are given for the kingdom)have a distinctive characteristic.

They cannot be mistaken for any other because there is no other like them on the earth. They are purely heavenly. They glaringly portray the marks of God, Himself. In the midst of darkness, they are shinning lights; in the midst of error, they stick out for the truth. They cannot help but exhibit the divine nature of which they've been configured. The seeming confusions on the actual doctrines of the Christian faith, notwithstanding, the Kingdom of God cannot be smeared with counterfeit. It stands sure.

However, the Kingdom of God maintains its savor on a premise. The premise that its products are of good seed; the pure seed or the incorruptible word; the divine sperm, which cannot but produce something divine.

It is not a coincidence that we err. We err because we cannot but err for, “a good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things”-Matt 12:35.

Hence to err is our nature and to be good is God's nature. So, for God to reproduce His nature in us in order to establish His Kingdom, He first infuses us with the good seed. No one who claims to be an offspring of the good seed should be found erring, for a good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things. It is a treasure chest in the heart that is watered by God alone through His Word by the Spirit. Hence, it cannot be said to run short of supply. Therefore, the children of the Kingdom of God cannot be mistaken. They are the carriers of the good seed which produces good fruit. Anyone who is found producing anything contrary should not claim to belong to this Kingdom, ”for God knows those who are His and let everyone that nameth the name of the Lord depart from iniquity”-1 Tim. 2:19.Such a one could better be described as a child of the evil one, which infuses tares into his subjects, for, it takes an evil treasure to produce evil deeds.

Just as good deeds are contagious so are evil deeds. Hence, anyone who rather is contaminating the field, injecting all negative ideas and sinful notions into it belong to the evil one who uses tares to offend and cause men to do iniquity. Hence, God's judgment on the tares is a furnace of fire with wailing and gnashing of teeth-Matt 13:42

Where do you belong, the good seeds or the tares? The differences are clear. What kind of seed are you sowing into the earth everyday you wake up?.Do you spread the aroma of the Kingdom of God or the stench of evil deeds?

Maybe this is the right time to evaluate what you consider as a walk with God so far. If you need a change of heart, why not fall on your knees right now and cry out to Him who alone can save your ailing heart from damnation. He is right there to give you a brand new start. As you respond to this call, I welcome you into the Kingdom of God.
