Protect The Seed – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional December 4th

(Keep The Word In Your Heart)

TO THE BIBLE: Mark 4:14-15
“The sower sows the word. And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.”

LET’S TALK
The Amplified Classic version of the Bible renders Mark 4:14-15 this way: “The sower sows the Word. The ones along the path are those who have the Word sown [in their hearts], but when they hear, Satan comes at once and [by force] takes away the message which is sown in them” (AMPC).

The most valuable thing in your life that Satan seeks to go after is the Word of God in your heart.

This is why whenever you receive the Word of God into your heart, the forces of darkness, knowing the power of the Word, come quickly to attempt to steal it from your heart. This is what the Lord Jesus brought to light in the parable of the sower.

It explains why some people hear the Word but don’t understand it. They find it difficult to comprehend why all hell seems to break loose against them right after receiving a wonderful prophecy.

It’s because Satan will do everything to steal the Word from their hearts; he’ll throw all his darts and accusations at you in a bid to steal the Word from you. He tried this trick even with the Lord Jesus, questioning the Word that had been spoken concerning Him by asking Him to prove Himself (Luke 4:3).

Of course, the Master successfully repelled him because He had the Word deeply rooted in His heart.

You have to deliberately guard the Word in your heart. Colossians 3:16 says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly,” that means let the Word settle and take root in your heart. That way, no matter how hard the enemy tries to steal it from your heart, he won’t succeed.

That’s why you must protect that seed—the Word of God—in your heart. Don’t let the Word remain on the “surface soil” of your heart, where the enemy can reach it and knock it out of you. Drive it deep into your spirit through meditation and praying in other tongues. Hallelujah!

Pray:
Dear Father, I thank you for the glory of your Word and the transformation I experience even now as your Word takes root in my spirit, producing in me fruits of righteousness. Thank you for giving me your Word to live by and to use in altering the circumstances of life to align with your perfect will and destiny for me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
