Rod Parsley Devotional 26th November 2024, Tuesday Message
TOPIC: More Will Be Given
For to him who has, will more be given, and he will have abundance. But from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away. – Matthew 13:12
Although this parable is about a sower sowing seed, the explanation Jesus gives for the parable has a spiritual meaning, as well. Jesus is stressing that the parable was given to the disciples to unlock the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven.
When we study the Word and gain wisdom from God, more wisdom will be given; because we are diligent to study and show ourselves approved by God (2 Timothy 2:15), and God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6).
So, though in the natural, it appears unfair to give more to the one who already has and take away from the one who does not have, this is a spiritual lesson to encourage those who have the Word to pursue the kingdom of God even more.
Receive the Word of God on good ground today and bear abundant fruit for His kingdom.
Holy Spirit, give me understanding as I read the Word today.
