Don’t Forfeit your Harvest
“The farmer sows the word. The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them. These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy. They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble. Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word, and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.”” (Mark 4:14-20 WEB)
No matter what tactics the enemy uses, his goal is the same: to prevent God’s word from producing a good harvest in your life.
When he snatches it away quickly, it could be as simple as when you are not paying attention during a sermon because of using your smartphone to scroll through social media. As a result, you did not even hear most of what the preacher was saying.
If that does not work, Satan can choose the forceful method or the soft method. He either comes like a roaring lion or a fowler.
The lion method would be to intimidate you into giving up on God’s promises. For example, you might have started trusting God for a breakthrough in your finances, but the enemy deliberately sends many unforeseen bills your way. Appliances at home start breaking down, and freak injuries or illnesses happen, leading to expensive medical bills. These are some ways Satan roars so that you lose trust in God for provision.
On the other hand, the fowler method would be to set traps to lure you into worldly things. He wants you obsessed and distracted with the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. This way, you will lose focus on God’s word and the seed that stops being watered in your heart will not produce a harvest.
For example, he may get you obsessed with politics, entertainment, earning money, lewdness, so that your mind is never on God’s word. If you keep leaving a plant unattended and in dry weather, it will wither away.
Only Christians who patiently persevere through all these dirty tactics of the enemy will experience a good harvest from having faith in God’s word.
Obviously the enemy knows the power of God’s word and that is why he tries his best to stop you from having faith in it.
The devil knows that once God’s word produces harvests in your life, he will have to relinquish any hold he had in that area. Try as he might, he is defenseless against God’s power.
Hearing God’s word, believing it, and speaking it over yourself may seem like such over-preached truths, but that is because God’s way for us is just that simple. Jesus completed all the hard work at the cross, and now we get to restfully reap the benefits of what He did for us.
It is easy to say, “I know this already,” but the question is: are you really doing it consistently? Ask yourself this and if this message stirs up your faith to get back on the right track of voraciously hearing and hearing God’s word, then its purpose is done!

Make “Death Plants” Wither Away
“So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.” (Romans 8:12-13 WEB)
The apostle Paul was addressing believers in the passage above—he said “brothers”.
We see that sowing to the flesh (indulging its lusts, cravings, and sinful passions) results in reaping earthly consequences of death, and this is not inflicted by God.
This is just the principle of sowing and reaping taking effect. This principle has been at work since God created the world.
“God said, “Let the earth yield grass, herbs yielding seeds, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with their seeds in it, on the earth”; and it was so. The earth yielded grass, herbs yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with their seeds in it, after their kind; and God saw that it was good…God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.” (Genesis 1:11-12, 29 WEB)
We see from the Book of Proverbs that this principle of sowing and reaping is not limited to plant seeds, but also seeds like our spoken words:
“A man’s stomach is filled with the fruit of his mouth. With the harvest of his lips he is satisfied. Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who love it will eat its fruit.” (Proverbs 18:20-21 WEB)
When we speak, we sow seeds of either life or death. These seeds can produce a harvest of fruits after its kind.
To understand sowing, look at the natural process of growing a plant seed.
A seed has to be planted in the soil (the human heart is like soil) and watered. It is a process that happens progressively over time, not instantly.
An exception to this is when God gives a miracle that compresses time. Otherwise, the process of sowing and reaping takes time to happen.
“Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, produces death.” (James 1:13-15 WEB)
See how lust is depicted as a seed in the passage above. Firstly, it conceives when initially planted and watered in the heart, and begins to bear sin (the first occurrence of committing sin outwardly). The sin then keeps growing if constantly watered, and eventually when it is a full grown fruit, it produces death.
When sinful habits are constantly watered, the consequences become more severe. You can kill that plant when you stop watering it and instead spray some effective herbicide called “the Gospel of Jesus Christ”.
Such plants are also Satanic strongholds which can be destroyed by the “obedience of Christ”. Apply Jesus’ finished work to your situation and see how He has redeemed you from that habit through His sacrifice at the cross. He has made you the righteousness of God. You are now holy, just, blameless, and pure. Your reborn spirit does not manufacture sin and has no desire to.
You can also curse it to its roots and cause it to wither up, just as Jesus cursed the fig tree.
“Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit from you forever!” Immediately the fig tree withered away. When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither away?” Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith, and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done. All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” (Matthew 21:19-22 WEB)
Instead of trying to break your sinful habit through willpower, secular counseling, or punishing yourself, use the power of your faith-filled spoken words.
Declare with me: “In Jesus’ name, I curse this death-bearing plant of _______ (the name of your sinful habit) to its roots. Let it wither away now and produce no more fruit forever. I have lost all desire to water this plant. I have been set free from the bondage, and I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. Amen!”
I want to see you free from all bondages of the enemy. In “Silencing the Serpent: How Christians Can Emerge Victorious in Spiritual Warfare”, you will learn more about destroying Satanic strongholds and yokes. This is very important to free yourself from long-time cycles of defeat they you can’t seem to break free from: https://bit.ly/silence-the-serpent-now
