Make Use Of The Rain (M.U.O.T.R)

Make use of the Rain!!!

Hebrews 6:7-8 NKJV
For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; but if it bears thorns and briers, it  is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.

Imagine you are a farmer who has acquired an expensive piece of land and decided to grow pepper. Now everytime you water and water, but the land instead of making use of the water to grow pepper it is rather growing thorns! Obviously you will give up on that land. You will call it barren,  worthless, etc and turn your back on it, because it is no longer worth your effort

In the same light God is the farmer and we are the land. As born again Christians He has acquired us as His land( very expensive acquisition, He bought us with the blood of His son) and has planted the seed of salvation, righteousness, love, etc in us. Now He waters us daily with His word so these seeds will grow and become useful to Him. But some of us "earth" have refused to use the wtaer for the desired purpose of the farmer and decided to make it grow thorns!! We go to church, hear the word, read our bibles, infact we are always being watered but we refuse to allow the seeds to grow we rather allow thorns(wickedness,sexual immorality,  greed, etc) to grow in us. Let us make use of this water by our farmer to grow fruits that He needs so we may not be rejected and cursed.

James 1:22-25. "But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in  it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does."

BLESS!!!
