BLESSED BY SEED SOWING WITH FACE TO FACE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD
My Dear Precious Child,
When Jesus Christ launched into His teaching session with His disciples relating to My kingdom of God coming on earth as it is in heaven, He gave them clues related to that marvelous and wonderful event in the lives of people. While teaching the parable about silver pieces left with his servants by a man before the man went on a journey, Jesus also included revelations that they must have relating to His own character. After teaching about the ten bridesmaids which related to watching for signs relating to My kingdom coming into the earth, Jesus spoke another parable that taught similar truths. In that parable Jesus said that a master was going on a journey and he called his servants to him and gave pieces of silver coins to each man according to the ability of each man. To one servant he gave five thousand pieces of silver, to another two thousand pieces of silver and to the third servant he gave one thousand pieces of silver. Then the master left.
Immediately the servant who was left with five thousand pieces of silver went, invested it, and made five more thousand pieces of silver. In the same way, the man who was given two thousand went and did the same thing, doubling his money. However, the man who was left with the thousand silver coins went off and dug a hole and buried his master's money. After a long absence, the master went home and called his servants to him to settle their accounts.
The man who had been given five thousand silver coins presented to the master the original five thousand coins and also the five thousand more that he had made by investing them. His master exclaimed that the servant had done well, that he was an industrious servant and said that since that servant was dependable in small matters that the master would put him in charge of larger affairs. He told that servant to come and share in his master's joy.
The man who had been given two thousand pieces of silver told the master that he also had doubled his money by investing it. The master told that man also that he had cleverly done well and since that servant had been reliable and industrious in a small matter, then the master would put that man in charge of larger things. The master told that servant that he should come and join in with the master's joy.
Finally the man who was entrusted with a thousand silver coins stepped up and said that because he knew that the master was a hard man who reaped where he did not sow and that he gathered where he did not scatter seed, the servant told the master that it was out of fear that he went off and buried his thousand pieces of silver in the ground, and then he gave back to his master the original thousand pieces of silver. The master told him that, even though the servant believed that his master reaped where he did not sow and gathered where he did not scatter seed, that was more reason why he should have placed his money with the banker so that when the master returned he would not only have the original thousand but also he would have interest on an investment. The master told that servant to take his original thousand pieces of silver and give them to the servant who had ten thousand silver coins because of his investment.
Then the master gave him a tidbit of truth, saying that to those who have, they will be given more, and to those who have little, that even what they have will be taken away. The master said that the worthless servant would be thrown into the darkness outside where there would be wailing and grinding of teeth. (Matthew 25:14-30)
If you notice, the two servants who invested the money had good attitudes about their master so they had wisdom and a good regard for him. Both were eager to please him. The servant who buried the money had a bad attitude toward his master and feared the master, evidently not knowing the reality of the good character of his master, judging from the master's generosity toward the other servants.
It's the same in My body of Christ. There are believers who have been taught to fear Me instead of loving Me. They have been erroneously taught by false prophets who do not know Me so they hide their little bit of faith inside of themselves, burying it, instead of their sowing a growing faith into the lives of other people which is sowing to My kingdom of God. When they sow faith into the lives of other people and pray in the Holy Spirit, they grow in revelation knowledge and their own faith expands into a more enriching revelation knowledge of the reality of My Love. They began to share in My joy.
The first two servants sowed seeds into My kingdom of God and the other servant sowed seeds into the devil's kingdom of fear. (II Timothy 1:7; Romans 8:15) He lost everything that he had because of fear and because of his erroneous attitude toward his master's character. Sowing seeds into the devil's kingdom of curses come from lies and people reap destruction from it. In the poem about Job, his problem was that he had fear that his children would sin against Me so he made sacrifices for them every day. That fear attracted the devil's curses to him. When Job knew Me face to face, his blessings returned, as said in that poem. The two servants began to share in the Master's joy when their faith began to grow after increasing their faith.
My instructions relating to fearing Me mean to be in constant awe of Me and the magnificent things that I do for you. It does not mean being fearful of approaching Me and coming to Me with fear of reprisal. I am not a cruel Father. I am Love and in Me there is no fear of My ever turning into evil. (I John 3:16; Ephesians 2:4; I John 4:8)
This parable of My kingdom contains truth in several ways. Number one, when you are connected by fear to the devil's kingdom, you are bound to him and you will not sow love in My kingdom but you will hide the little bit of faith that you have in a basket, as one parable teaches, or in the ground like this parable teaches. You will lose the little bit of faith that you have. Number two, your faith will not grow if you are motivated by fear and lies. Everything that you gained by having a little bit of faith will be taken away by the devil. Faith must grow to prevail into being My power to save you from the curses of the devil. Number three, when you sow into My righteousness by seeking My kingdom and My righteousness, everything will be added to you. (Matthew 6:33)
