Good Soil

3 July

A good and timely reminder that God wants us to be good soil for Him so that we will hear the Word of God and not allow the devil to steal it from us. Also, we want to receive the Word with joy and use it to build deep strong roots so that we will believe for a long time and when we are tested, to be Faithful, Steady and Sure! Important to use the Word of God as a mirror to check if we are choked by life’s worries, riches and pleasures because we do not want hindrances and obstacles to deter us to grow and mature in God and His Word. My prayer and desire is to be the good soil - which stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the Word, retains it, and by persevering produces a crop.

As we prepare for 100k blessing, God wants us to be the good soil so that we can be fruitful and multiply ourselves. I felt an urge to pray much for my ladies and their spouses not to be caught in life’s worries especially financial burdens that would weigh them down and not be able to serve the Lord. The Lord brought to my mind Luke 1:17 and Mal 3 about the fathers rising up in the Sprit and power of Elijah to turn the hearts of the fathers to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous – to make a people ready for the Lord. God wants to restore this ‘fatherless’ generation to us…. And the fathers must rise up at a time like this to declare God’s goodness and mercy to their next generation!

It was excellent being able to join the Body of Christ at large to pray today from 3-5 p.m. God is bringing back such a delight in prayer and making the process a JOY! Looking forward to this 21-day of fast and prayer because I know that God is going to grant personal and corporate breakthroughs as we dare to press in and seek Him! Yeah Yeah!
