The Applied Word Of God - Part 25
Isaiah 55.10-11
10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
The main purpose of rain and snow coming from heaven to earth is to water it in order that plants will grow but the ultimate purpose is to yield seed for the sower and bread for the eater.
Similarly the main purpose of the Word that comes out of the mouth of God is to bring blessings etc but the ultimate purpose is to provide seed for the sower and bread for the sower.
The two aspects of the Word are to sow and also to eat. When we read the word, hear it and meditate it; we are eating it. When we teach and preach the word, we are sowing the Word.
The Word of God works as seed and food. It carries the purposes of God. A healing Word releases healing; a word of deliverance has the power to deliver people and so forth. Whatever reason for which it is carried, it will be executed as it has the power of execution. The Word of God is not an ordinary book, it is living and active. It has God’s purpose, will, power, spirit, life etc. God created and sustains the whole universe by His spoken Word. The bible is its written form.
John 12.24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
A single seed which does not die will not see a transformation. Jesus brings out a great spiritual truth from this natural seed and harvest principle. If only you sow the seed can you produce a harvest. If you hold the seed in your hand, it will not produce anything. In this verse, Jesus is speaking about Himself. God the Father sowed Jesus as a seed into the earth. He is the seed of heaven and contains everything that is in Heaven. He is the essence of heaven/divinity and at the same time, he is the essence of perfect humanity. When Jesus died, there was a harvest. All of us who believe in Him are His harvest. When Jesus died and disintegrated and then rose up on the third day, we all received His life. God produced many seeds of wheat which are each one of us.
Mark 4.30-32
30 Again he said, “What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? 31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. 32 Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.”
Jesus is the best and most effective communicator. So He spoke through parables to people. Here again, Jesus compares a small natural principle with a great spiritual truth. He emphasises “when planted” it grows. There is always excitement when we harvest what we sow. The same applies to the Word of God too.
