People of Influence Exodus 1:15–20 Francis E. MADOJEMU

Lance Wallnau

I was at the IMAX theater in Singapore when "The Avengers" came out. 3-D

glasses, Surround Sound with multiplied amplificaition.....they advertised:

See more than you've ever seen

Hear more than you've ever heard

Feel more than you've ever felt

Lance Wallnau

And I said to myself.....THATS what God wants for us.

Thats what I want for my events! Heaven wants to invade earth THRU YOU!

Why can't your work be your ministry and be your portal

to experience more of heaven on earth?!?

I believe thats the era we are in right now

Would You believe: Midwives!

The word “midwife” means “to bear young, to beget, show

lineage, birth, make to bring forth, be delivered, labor,

travail.” (Strongs’ Concordance #3205 Hebrew).

1.a person trained to assist women in childbirth.

2. a person or thing that produces or aids in

producing something new or different.

Would You believe: Midwives!

This word is mentioned only three times in t h e w h o l e Bible, and each time is highly significant

The first mention is in Genesis 35:16,17.

“Then they journeyed from Bethel, and when there was but a l itt le distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel labored in childbirth, and she had hard labor.

The first mention is in Genesis 35:16,17.

And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said unto her, ‘Do not fear; you will have this son also.’”

The Role of Midwives

Intercessors are midwives that cause

projects, ideas, concepts, God's will, God's seed to come

to pass.

You all know that Rachael died in this particular case,

but the child was born.

The second mention of the midwife is found in Genesis 38:27-30.

“Now it came to pass, at the time for giving birth, that behold, twins were in her womb. And so it was, when she was giving birth, that the one put out his hand;


and the midwife took a scarlet thread and bound it on his hand, say ing, ‘ th is one came out first.’ The it happened, as he drew back his hand, that his brother came out unexpectedly;


and she said ‘How did you break through? This breach be upon you.’ Therefore his name was called Perez. Afterward his brother came out who had the scarlet thread on his hand. And his name was called Zerah.”


The first one we saw is that intercessors help to intercede, they help to bring

that child to birth, so our job as a group is

to help God's purposes to be birth.


To assist in helping those things to be

birth, to help identify and know what the

will of God is.

What is that first born inheritance?

The final mention of the midwife is Exodus 1:15-20.

15 Then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, of whom the name of one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puah; 16 and he said, “When you do the duties of a midwife for the Hebrew women, and see them on the birthstools, if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.”


17 But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male children alive. 18 So the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this thing, and saved the male children alive?”


19 And the midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they are lively and give birth before the midwives come to them.” 20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied and grew very mighty. 21 And so it was, because the midwives feared God, that He provided households for them.

Who changes the course of history?

Kings? Potentates? Generals? The wealthy?

Sure.

But more often than not, it’s men and women with no power and little social

standing who most significantly reshape this

world.


When the king of Egypt grew worried about the exploding numbers of

Hebrew slaves, he summoned two

midwives, Shiphrah and Puah, and instructed them to murder all

Hebrew male newborns.


But these midwives feared God and refused to obey such a wicked

command.

Despite the king’s threats, they would not

buckle under and continued to deliver

healthy male Hebrews


Although they had no way of knowing it, their risky decision helped to spare the life of Moses, Israel’s God-ordained deliverer.

In civil disobedience, Shiphrah and Puah risked their lives to protect the

children God had placed in their care


Their bravery prompted God to show them

kindness by blessing them with families of

their own.

No doubt their children and grandchildren took part in the great exodus

from Egypt.


At a strategic juncture in history, these Hebrew

midwives—politically powerless, socially

despised, economically disadvantaged—defied

the ruler of Egypt to obey the God they

feared


Their perilous choice to do the right thing protected the line of Abraham through which the Messiah would come, thus

fulfilling God’s plan for not only the Hebrews,

but for all mankind.

Midwives & Intercessors

Notice the midwives were not doing it for

their own children, they

were doing it for somebody else.


The power of intercession is seen in the fact that the

ability to bring either life or death

was in the hands of these midwives.


We bring life to the purposes of God, and death to the assignments of the enemy.

Finally, the text reads that because of the faithfulness of the midwives

“Israel became great in n u m b e r a n d i n s t rength.” (Exodus 1:20).

The Outcome

This should be the outcome of our

intercession!

The kingdom of God increases both in number and in strength!

Bottom Line

You can't think God's

will you have to give birth to it.

The Midwives were not Hebrews

And if God can bless somebody from another race, without a covenant,

how much more those who have a covenant.

Every prophet is an Intercessor but not

every intercessor is a prophet. Let's never

forget.

Go back to the heart for which this purpose was created

It's never been about you. You family is in bondage

because you've not interceded for them.

You may not like them, they may not like you but do what I called you to do

because deliverance comes to a house, it doesn't just

come to an individual.


Rachael brought deliverance to her w h o l e h o u s e , R u t h b ro u g h t deliverance to her whole house. You check it out, go and check every story you read, Zacheus brought deliverance to his whole house.


There's an old yoruba proverb that says that if you're the only rich person in your family, then you are not rich. Until your family members are free, you're not free because they will drag you down.


Once they don't have a hope, they will take your hope, once they don't have provision they will come for yours. Don't ignore your father or mother who's lost out there. Don't let any one of them go, even the most wicked one amongst them.

We need to take our place like midwives

Remember what he said, Israel

increased in number and in strength, before

we pray for the church.


I'm not asking us tonight to pray for us to increase in number

and strength, I'm praying for us so that the will of God will be done so that we can increase in number

and in strength.


If I put my attention on number and strength, I'm making a mistake.

The reason why they increased in number

and strength was because sons were

born against the plan of the enemy


We tend to concentrate on the numbers and

strength but the reason was because the

midwives were doing what they were

supposed to do and then the children were being born and so they

increased.


So TBN is restricted in

number and in strength because we are not giving

birth.

No Midwives!

2 Corinthians 12:20-21

21 lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and I shall mourn for many who have sinned before and have not repented of the uncleanness, fornication, and l e w d n e s s w h i c h t h e y h a v e practiced.

Midwives for Mistakes

You see he is saying here that God humbled him to

intercede for them, for sins they have not

repented of.

How does somebody repent when he doesn't

know the way to repentance?

Midwives for Mistakes

So we can stand in the gap for

people who have made mistakes

and God will have mercy on them because of us.

It's like what Nehemiah and Jeremiah will do

Oh Lord, we have sinned against you, or Daniel who will

identify with the sins of the people.

So I want us to do that for our families tonight and say Lord we stand in the gap for them,

for mistakes, errors, sins, greed, wickedness that have

taken place in our family that is keeping them out of their

inheritance today,

Lord we come as your children to stand in the Gap for them

I also want us to reach out to our members, many

struggling, making mistakes, going in the wrong direction,

and just don't have the things they need.

I don't have the things I need it that's why I'm interceding because when God blesses,

he blesses all of us.

Can we take that same thing for the nation and say

Father have mercy, we have sold our birthright as a nation, we have

cheated our own people, we've sold our soul,

we've done the things we shouldn't do and our

people are suffering, Father have mercy upon

this nation

Fear of God tells you what and where!

The bible says that the midwives feared God more

than they feared Pharaoh, but you also know that the fear of

God is the beginning of wisdom, the fear of God is an

integral part of knowledge.

As you are doing what you're doing you will be accessible to wisdom and wisdom will

be accessible to you.

Prayer & Revelation

One of the greatest result of prayer is not

necessarily the physical manifestations

of prayer, it's the revelation of what you

do.

So things begin to be much clearer to you.

Increase in Number & Strength for You!

We should increase in number and strength. I

want you to zero in on your industry, your own

personal kingship and your priesthood.

What industry are you in right now, what has God

called you into? Just identify with that industry.


Remember I shared this, just as a man can receive nothing

except it be given to him, he didn't say a man cannot grab or steal something, in other words, there are millionaires out there

who didn't get it from God, people who stole, cheated and

beat people to become rich.

And anything you don't get from God does not

last.


Listen to me, you can make money God's way and use it for

him or you can make money man's way.

What I'm going to ask you is that you notice you have not been able to make money

man's way, because you are not made that way.


So the only thing left for you is to receive

what God has for you and the only

way you can receive what God has for you is to do what

God requires you to do for that industry


The only reason why we haven't received from God is that we have not created a pathway for that miracle

to come to us,

The industry is already a cheating, bad industry, until

you birth the correct one, you can't get what is due to you because a man cannot receive anything except it

be given to him by my father in heaven


So I'm saying we can either do it the wrong way or we can do it God's way

but there's no middle ground.

So I'm saying identify your industry and intercede for it, you'll be surprised that the little changes that will take place will brewing multiple

blessings to your house.

God will never forget you because the husband man is the first partaker of the

harvest.


God made a statement, for as long as the earth

remains, seed time and harvest will never cease

now God is dangerous, he didn't say if you plant good seeds, he said seed time so

if you plant good or bad, you harvest it.

Because our theme is multiply everything, not multiply everything

good. The result is going to be what we sow

John 3:5-6

Jesus answered, “ Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Documentary on the impact of the Bill Cosby show, same thing in Brazil

A New Program Newsroom, I

marveled , tears were coming to my eyes about how the man was teaching

values, to the American People.


I thought about our Nigerian film industry.

I saw what they are proclaiming and we are

selling 100s of millions of these DVDs everyday,

and instead of us to base our videos on where we

want to go, and the nation is trapped


This is just one industry. And when I

finished thinking about this:

I heard the Lord say to me, where are my heroes?


Where are those who will say I can do this anymore, I can't make sub standard

clothes, I can't make movies that draw

people back, I can't raise a church on

dependence.

where are our heroes?

Someone sent me a message about Romans 12, be ye

transformed by the renewing of your mind, it means that be courageous to be who God

wants you to be.

Where are our heroes who will make the video that is not about where

we are but where we need to go.

where are our heroes?

You have a time to spend here, what are they going to say about you when you go, and you are so

worried about what they are saying about you while you are here, people that don't matter.

Who you don't even matter to.

What is that thing in you that is supposed to be birth or assist to birth?

The Ultimate Midwife

So praying for your business is not intercession

but prayer for your industry

and mountain is intercession

Find Your Assignment in the Bible

Notice you even get the benefit of prospering but your prosperity comes with your obedience to

your assignment.

Have you ever found tourism, poultry and the

bible?

It's until you take off your religious glasses, you

won't see your assignment in the bible.


When you read your bible, you put your industry on one

side and put the bible on another

There's none of you here that whatever you

are in, is not mentioned in the bible, it's just waiting for you

to get a revelation.


What do you do, when you get to your business, you set it aside and when you get to church you

pick it up.

Meanwhile the secret of your success is here, in that industry

that you are in.


That is why he said this book of the law shall not depart from your

mouth, you shall meditate on it day and night, we think it's only

to succeed as a Christian.

We didn't see it as being successful in whatever we want to do.


This book of the law, we just leave the book down there.

That's why when we get up in the morning, it's as if we have two lives, one

that goes to work and one that goes to church and

we are trying to balance it out but the reason why

we are having difficulty is because they are one


Many years ago people who were called John farmer were farmers etc, we are the ones separating our lives.

So when you are a medical doctor and you come to church and you leave your profession outside and

everything God wants to give you to change that industry, you leave it

because you are wearing a religious cap


At the beginning, the king and the judge were one, God is the king and the judge of the

whole earth, it came down to man because of man's fall.

When Jesus came God brought back the judge and the king into one. It was the

fall of man that disconnected you from your calling, but the

fall has been taken care of through Jesus' death and

resurrection. God is marrying the two of them back

together


You are not a human being looking for a

spiritual experience, you are a spiritual

being, having a human experience.

The reason why you are here is for this earth and

it's also for heaven.


You're lost, confused, scared, and the devil is

having a filled day keeping us low there, so we have

no say in the government, industry, we are sitting

down there waiting for our miracle instead of creating

them.

We are allowing everybody else dictate what happens

1 Corinthians 3:21-22

Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; 22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

Paul said all things are yours

that means everything was made for you,

not you made for them.

2nd Part of the Sermon!

The Vision Of The Three Frog-Like Creatures

In 1970 and 1979, Kenneth E. Hagin had a vision of three frog-like creatures coming up out of the Atlantic Ocean and were about to land on the shores of the U.S.


The Lord Jesus showed him that this was three strategies of Satan that was coming against our nation.

They would cause political, social and economic disturbances.


In the second vision in 1979 Jesus said to him, “If the Christians of this nation had done what I told them to in My Word and had prayed for their leaders, none of these things would have happened.

In fact, I am holding the church responsible for the president's mistakes.”


The Lord has shown me that these strategies of Satan have arisen again, in a stronger way and the saints must take their place in prayer.

We have dominion and authority over all the powers of darkness and nothing shall by any means harm us, if we take our place in prayer!

We Have A Responsibility

We don't know the responsibility we carry,

don't just give up.

We are going to pray for the nation in the area of courage, but

before we do that, are you sure you want to

do this?

A Different Paradigm

There was a time when Idahosa's ministry was

important, there was a time when Oyedepo' ministry was important because they were

dealing with idol worshippers, people whose parents were not born again, people who were struggling with the occult, a particular

ministry was necessary.

A Different Paradigm

Notice my two sons are born into a family that is already born again, they

don't have the occult connection.

They have a different pathway

from their parents!

Wrist Watches and this Generation

Dr Ken Robinson's demo of how many of you above the age of 25 have wrist

watches?

A lot of them put up their hands, does it take much thought for you to put on

your watch in the morning? Those below the age, and they didn't have.


He said those of us who were born before the digital age, the digital age came to meets us

so we are trying to adapt while those who were born 20, 15 years ago

were born in the middle of the digital age,


They have clocks in their phones or iPads

but you that were born before the digital age, find it hard to leave the

house without you wrist watch, even

though you don't use it

It's A New Day!

That was a move of God necessary for a time period, but there is a different move of God now, a whole

generation has passed off, theirs was to be

free, this generation is to fulfill.

It's A New Day!

One group was to be free so that they can give birth

to free born children, remember what

happened to Israel, they came out of Egypt and they started grumbling that they wanted to go

back but they were lying to themselves and they grumbled and grumbled

It's A New Day!

So much that God got angry and said anyone above 40 years was going to die, so

they spent 40 years until they were wiped out.

It was a new generation with a new

mindset that could enter into the

promised land.

Generational Thinking Battle

Some of us because of our background have have one leg in

the old generation and are just struggling to step I to the new, not that you're not a believer, you are,

but you're struggling with two generational thinking.

I'm trying to teach you get into the land and take it,

some people are still trying to teach you come

and get delivered

Joshua 1:1-9

1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, it came to pass that the Lord spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, saying: 2 “Moses My servant is dead.

Joshua 1:1-9

2 “Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, to the land which I am giving to them—the children of Israel. 3 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses.

Two Generations

The reason why Joshua could arise

was because Moses was dead.

It was necessary for Moses to die for Joshua to arise.

We are making a fundamental mistake if we don't know the

model we are carrying has not existed before

Two Generations

What we are creating has not

existed before, if it has, Moses won't

have died for Joshua to arise.

What are you doing?

Are you Moses or Joshua?

Two Generations

He said every place that your sole will

thread I have given you, in other words I

have given you everywhere you can

reach.

It's not limited by me, it's you.

Two Generations

They had a promised land, a physical land,

we have lands of promises, wherever our feet go because of what God wants to accomplish, he

said he has given it to us.

Joshua 1:1-9

4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory.

Joshua 1:1-9

5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you.

Joshua 1:1-9

6 Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them.

Gods Promise to this Generation

As I was with Moses so will I be with you.

In other words, them our Men of God don't

have a bigger God than you have, it's just that your assignments are different, it's the same

God going with you both.


I will not leave you nor forsake you but there are conditions, be

strong and of good courage.

There's bad courage that is based on

presumption, good courage is based on the

word.

It's gonna take courage to do God's assignment.


It's the same God, same grace,

different assignment.

How can you say the one that is building camp is better than you. How can we even think

that way? Somebody else needs what you have. We all

need each other!

Joshua 1:1-9

7 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go.

Joshua 1:1-9

8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do

according to all that is written in it. For then y o u w i l l m a k e y o u r w a y prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Joshua 1:1-9

9 Have I not commanded you? Be s t ro n g a n d o f g o o d courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

It's time to be bold to step out!

I'm not asking you to do something special, I'm just telling you to step into what

you are supposed to do.

You can't be a king without being a priest.

You cannot successfully rule

without being a priest.


This is not about you praying for TBN, it's about you

understanding that this is part of your prophetic destiny.

Your kingship is to tell you where you're

going to operate from, your priesthood is to

tell you what your ministry.

We Rule by Prayer

• Such is the double ministry that Christ now exercises at the Father's right hand.

• As King, He rules. As Priest, He intercedes: "He ever liveth to make intercession" (Hebrews 7:25).

• Verse two describes the way in which Christ’s kingly authority is exercised: "The Lord shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies".


I used to tell people that if you are called into the media industry, do you

know that when you wake up in the morning, you're supposed to pray for that

industry?

That when the industry blossoms, you get it, and

you're part of the growth of that industry.


Have you noticed that we ignore it and when we pray,

we pray for ourselves?

When we were growing up, they used to tell us that if

there was no water in Ibadan and you pray, God will give you water, if there was no light, God will give you light, now that's not very true, you know why,


let me give you an example. How much does a brick layer earn in Oshogbo, N1200, in Ibadan, N2000, in Lagos, N4000, same brick layer,

different cities.

How much will he earn in London?

So what has changed, the city.

Jeremiah 29:7

And seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to the Lord for it; for in its peace you will have peace.


We are connected to the city and the purpose and the

zone of the industry to which we are called into but we've

ignored it and we are wondering why.

So when I get up in the morning and say Lord let

this industry prosper, I will be the first partaker

of it.

2 Timothy 2:6-7

The hardworking farmer must be first to partake of the crops. 7 Consider what I say, and may the Lord give you understanding in all things.

God’s Ultimate Sign• 1 Corinthians

10:11 • 11 Now all these

things happened to them as examples,

and they were written for our

admonition, upon whom the ends of

the ages have come.

•

God’s Ultimate SignGod revealed his way to Moses and His acts to the children of Israel, even the design of the tabernacle Moses received

from God Himself.

The bible records that Jesus blood was used to pacify the

heavenly tabernacle it therefore critical that to get the revelation here we must

understand this great key that opens up our understanding of

God.

God’s Ultimate Sign: The Tabernacle of Moses

• This was to be a center for worship and a place where the people could

focus upon the presence of the Lord.

• The tent constructed in this manner was then divided into two rooms divided by an intricate

veil of blue, scarlet, and purple linen

embroidered with cherubim.

God’s Ultimate Sign: The Tabernacle of Moses

• The inner, western room was called the HOLY OF HOLIES.

• It was 10 cubits square, and it

contained only one piece of furniture –

the holiest item in the tabernacle, the Ark of

the Covenant.

The crux of the matter• There seems to be

running through scripture 3

dimensions of grace, which we must look

at to understand today’s revelation of

scripture.

• This seems to be God’s order both in the New and Old Testament, which

follows a sequence. •

The crux of the matterDEATH, BURIAL AND

RESURRECTION

BODY, SOUL AND SPIRIT

WHO WAS, IS AND IS TO COME

SAME, YESTERDAY TODAY AND FOREVER

THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE

The crux of the matter• 1, 2, AND 3 • NOT BY POWER,

NOT BY MIGHT BUT BY THE SPIRIT

• FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST

• FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE

• The best is usually in the third dimension.

•

The crux of the matter• These are similar to the

tabernacle of Moses on which the revelation

stands Outer COURT, HOLY PLACE and

MOST HOLY PLACE.

• There is much that can be said about the

revelation contained in the tabernacle for now

we will base our observations on the type

of light or illumination found in each section.

The Outer Court• In the outer court,

the light here is natural and here as

it tallies with the 3rd part of our

being our knowledge or

illumination is from nature, the Sun, moon and stars.

•

The Outer Court• What we understand

here comes from our sense as this part of

the tabernacle us opened to all

including cattle, life here is noisy full of

religious activity void of understanding

and spiritual illumination, just obeying the law.

The Holy Place

• In the Holy place comes various

articles which are significant for

instance the altar of incense which is the prayers of the saint [Hebrews 13: 15]

and our worship and of course the table of

showbread type of food.

•

The Holy Place• But like I said we are

looking at the light or illumination found here provided by the lamp stand and oil which is

artificial or should I say artificial.

• 7 pipes a type of the Holy Spirit providing

illumination to feed and offer up prayer and

worship through the five fold ministry.

The Holy of Holies• The Holy of Holies,

which is our destination and the

desire of all our hearts, is a room of exactly the

same length breath and height signifying,

The Triune God.

• There is only one item of furniture – the

holiest in the tabernacle, the Ark of

the Covenant. •

The Holy of Holies• [At the death of Jesus

this was the veil that was torn from top to

bottom]

• Matthew 27:50-51 • 50 And Jesus cried out

again with a loud voice, and yielded up His

spirit.51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from

top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the

rocks were split,

The Holy of Holies• We also have the

Mercy seat and the two golden cherubim that face each other

signifying the presence of GOD

Himself.

• The Ten Commandments

signifying the law in our hearts and manna supernatural provision.

The Holy of Holies• However, we must

notice that there is no natural or artificial light here the illumination

here is GOD HIMSELF.

• Here we are totally dependent on God he

is our life our sufficiency, our source

for everything. • This is God desire and

destination for His Children.

What has this to with the church?

• In the book of revelation • John heard the voice

behind him and turned around to hear the

voice and saw Jesus in the midst of the

candlesticks but the candlesticks are the

churches in other words the CHURCH is

in the second dimension.

•


• This means there is more than being in

church than we have faced there is more in

God than we have considered so far in our walk with God.

• Death, Burial and Resurrection


• It seems we have assumed that the church is the end for which Christ

died, the church is not in the holy of

holies it is the pathway we must pass to it but not our destination.


• Remember the book of Corinthians and Ephesians’ say that God has set some in the church, Apostles,

Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors and teachers, to perfect or mature

the saints. “To do the work of the ministry and to edify or build

up the body.”

Conclusions

• We are to be prepared and

equipped in church to go further not stay but go into

that place in God.

• What does it entail; it is living a Christian life after church.

Conclusions

• Going out to save souls, helping the

poor and the needy.

• Do you know that God never asked the unbeliever to go to church but

we are asked to go the unbeliever?

Conclusions• We seem to feel

we have arrived by being in

church but we need to go

beyond church in worship and

relationship with God.

Conclusions• Let me challenge

you today if we have become

boring and isolated ourselves from unbelievers and

church has become where we

get our shots something is wrong

Conclusions• Unbelievers are not

excited about our lives and not

Parable - Luke 8:3-10 • 5“A sower went out to sow

his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the

wayside; and it was trampled down, and the

birds of the air devoured it. 6“Some fell on rock; and as

soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it

lacked moisture. 7“And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it. 8“But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded a

crop a hundredfold.” •

Parable - Luke 8:3-10 • When He had said these

things He cried, “He who has ears to hear, let him

hear!” 9Then His disciples asked Him, saying, “What does this parable mean?” 10And He said, “To you it has been given to know

the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘Seeing they may not see, And hearing they may not understand.’ (11)Now the parable is this: The

seed is the word of God.

Matthew 13:35-39

•36

Then Jesus sent the multitude away and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him,

saying, “Explain to us the parable of the tares of the field.”

37He answered and

said to them: “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.

38“The field is

the world, the good seeds are the sons of the

kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one. 39

“The enemy who sowed them is the devil, the

harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are

the angels.
