FRIDAY MESSAGE
PARABLE OF THE SOWER #13/13
HOW TO BEAR GOOD FRUIT

1. INTRODUCTION / SUMMARY OF THE PREVIOUS LESSON
To understand the parable of the sower, it is essential to understand the spiritual law of “sowing to reap” – Mark 4:26.

In the Kingdom of God everything works through seeds: the Word is the seed and the heart is the soil – Mark 4:14-29. The devil tries to prevent the Word from taking root by launching various attacks that we have studied over the past few weeks, but whoever overcomes will produce good fruit.

2. GOOD FRUIT
To have good fruit/results, it is necessary to take care of the “roots” – Joshua 1:8. This happens through:

• communion with God;

• Studying the Bible, books, Sunday School, etc.;

• Walking in God’s way and putting Him first;

• Serving God.

Mark 4:20

3. THE PATH TO BEARING GOOD FRUIT
There are many paths in this world. But there is only one path that is good and leads to God – Jesus.

Access to God is made solely through Jesus, who is the mediator between God and humanity – John 14:6.
Through his life, death, and resurrection, he opened a path, previously blocked by sin, so that people can be reconciled with God.

a) ENTERING THE PATH
To enter the path, it is necessary to surrender your life to Jesus and recognize that He is:

-Savior;

-Lord;

By doing this, the person is born again. God removes the wrong spirit (virus of sin) and places the Holy Spirit.

The day you enter the path you become:

-Child of God – John 1:12
-Heir;
-New creature – 2 Corinthians 5:17
-Holy and righteous – Ephesians 1:4
-King and priest – Revelation 1:5

The path is not just coming to church, saying the prayer of salvation, being healed and never wanting to know about God again.

Walking the path means:

1st – surrendering your life to Jesus;

2nd – attending the local church / Family Group;

3rd – living with God;

4th – being baptized – in water and in the Holy Spirit;

5th – walk of faith – New Converts course, Basic, Complementary;

6th – attending Bible School;

7th – Serving God (leadership course, specialization, becoming a pastor, bishop, etc.);

8th – Making disciples;

9th – Starting Family Groups and/or Churches

4. EXHORTATION
For those who do not yet walk with God:

• Surrender your life to Jesus;

• Study the Bible;

• Come to Church;

• Begin walking in God’s way.

For those who already walk with God:

• Do not stray from God’s path;

5. ROLE OF OLDER BELIEVERS
God calls each believer to serve – Ephesians 4:11. The work includes:

– evangelizing;

– transforming converts into disciples;

– training servants;

– protecting new converts;

– accompanying them in courses, Family Groups, baptisms, and Bible teaching.
