WHICH ONE ARE YOU?
Matthew 13:24-30

In life, growth is possible in every area but not all growth can be measured as spiritual blessing. As a matter of fact, growing in all areas of life has never been your problem. Physically, you are growing as well as financially; you do not have problems in these areas of growth. In the physical, you constantly appear in the church and to the brethren around you as a growing believer. What else? All is well with you and to those who see you very often, all is well. However, there is only One who sees it all and He knows right from the wrong. Nothing can hide from His face. He is the only One who inhabits eternity. He is the unquestionable God and He sees tomorrow from today. Every man and woman knows themselves. Each and everyone know where they stand when it comes to their walk in the Lord. Man can be deceived; woman can be made to embrace lies; but God cannot be fooled. God judged Sodom and Gomorrah because of their wickedness. The same God yesterday, today and tomorrow will not overlook the wickedness of today. The bottom line of it all is what Jesus talked about in Matthew 13:30: “Let both grow together until the harvest and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.’” Where do you stand? Are you a representative of wheat or tare? At every time of rainfall and all that contributes to growth, both wheat and tares are in position to be benefited. Oftentimes, there is no clear distinction identifying tares from wheat. Also, it cannot and it should never be a surprise to see tares growing better than wheat. Awaken from your sleep because the harvest time is coming. It will be here and it does not matter how long or how soon it takes to come. All that will make the difference is for you to be faithful in doing the will of the Father just like Jesus said, “Not every man who says to Me, Lord, Lord shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.”(Matthew 7:21) Will you be willing to step out only unto God? Have you thought about your stand lately? Be wheat and never a tare. Always remember, judgment can be delayed but it will never be denied.

Prayer for today: Ask the Lord to direct you into His way. Ask God in His faithfulness to deliver you from every agent of destruction.
