Parables

The Harvest Will Come ( Video )

The Parable Of The Growing Seed

“I wanted to tell you a story…”This is what the Kingdom of God is like: A man scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows-though he does not know how. The earth produces crops by itself: First the blade, then the head, then the full grain in the head. As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts in the sickle- because the harvest has come.
(This story is found in Mark 4:26-29.)

“Let Me explain what this story means…”The Kingdom grows in ways you can’t always see. You plant the seed-through faith, obedience, and truth. But the growth? That’s the Father’s work. Don’t  Grow anxious when things seem slow. Don’t assume nothing is happening just because you don’t see it. The seed is working. The roots are going deep. And in time-the harvest will come. Your part is to be faithful.

My part is to bring the increase. And when it’s time, the harvest will not delay. “My parables matter because they reveal the Kingdom.” I didn’t speak these stories on My own. In John 12:49-50, I  Said: “For I have not spoken of Myself; but the Father which sent Me, He gave Me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

The Parable Of The Workers In The Vineyard

“I wanted to tell you a story…”The Kingdom of Heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day, and  Sent them into the vineyard. About the third hour, he went out again and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing.

He said to them, “You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.” They went. He did the same at the sixth hour… the ninth hour… and even at the eleventh hour-just one hour  before the day ended. Each time, he found people still standing there and said, “Why are you standing here all day doing nothing?” They answered, “Because no one has hired us.” He said, “Go into  the vineyard too.”

When evening came, the owner said to his foreman, “Call the workers and pay them, beginning with the last ones hired and going on to the first.” Those who were hired at the eleventh hour each received a denarius.  So when those who were hired first came, they expected more. But each of them also received a denarius. Read More... “The Generosity of the Vineyard Owner ( Video )”

The Parable Of The Mustard Seed

“I wanted to tell you a story…”The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. It’s the smallest of all seeds, but when it grows, it becomes the  greatest among herbs, and becomes a tree-so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches. (This story is found in Matthew 13:31-32, Mark 4:30-32, and Luke 13:18-19.) “Let Me explain what this story means…” The Kingdom doesn’t always look powerful when it starts.

It may seem small-like a mustard seed. But don’t be fooled by the size. What starts as almost nothing… becomes something great. My Kingdom grows quietly. In hearts. In homes. In hidden places. But in time, it becomes large enough for others to find rest in it. It becomes a shelter. A refuge. A place of life. Don’t underestimate small beginnings. What matters is what the seed becomes.
