Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, the kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field (Matthew 13:24).
The Lord Jesus, in His remarkable teachings about the Kingdom, used parables to unveil profound truths. One of such examples is the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13. He said, "The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field." That "man" is the Lord Himself, while the "good seed" represents the children of the Kingdom. The "field," as He later explained, is the world.
This is extraordinary. The Lord sowed good seed, not in someone else's field, but in His own field. That tells you the world is His field and part of His Kingdom. It belongs to Him. No matter what we see in the world today, no matter how polluted it appears, the field still belongs to Jesus.
The Bible says while men slept, the enemy came and sowed tares in the field. Tares are the children of the wicked one. The Lord Jesus explained clearly that the enemy who sowed these tares is the devil. So we understand why both good and evil are seen operating side-by-side in the world and even in places associated with God's work.
In verse 30, while still explaining the same parable, the Master said, Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. That harvest is the end of the world, and the reapers are the angels. At the appointed time, the tares will be gathered and burned, but the wheat, the righteous, will be gathered into His barn. Glory to God! This is so comforting.
We're the good seed, the children of the Kingdom, planted in the field of the world for a purpose. That's why we can stand boldly anywhere and declare, "We own the world, because it belongs to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, and were His heirs. Were in charge and in control; we're here to shine and bear fruits of righteousness. No matter what opposition or darkness there is, remember this: the field is His and He planted you in it. So shine as light, reign as a king, and bring in the harvest. Hallelujah!
Confession
I shine as a light and bear fruits of righteousness. I dominate and prevail over the works of darkness, because Im the seed of Christ. Thank you Lord, for making me a vessel of glory and impact in this generation, winning souls and bringing many into the Kingdom, in Jesus Name. Amen.
