Bishop Jakes - Rest in Peace

(KJV) Matthew 13:24-33 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:

 

(KJV) Matthew 13:25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. 

  

 

Some of the stuff you want is not good for you. We are here to serve him and when you lign up with his agenda, everything you lack will be released.  

 

And here comes the 'But'...

 

Christ graces us with the intelligence of God. Logos- God's thoughts were made flesh. 

 

He has to chew the wisdom up an hand it to us in a parable... It is 'like'

 

The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man... The kingdom is likened into a point of authority.

 

Never question your own significance. God always starts with one. No one can make you greater than what you already were by Gid's prospering. 

 

...Likened unto a man who sows... A man who sows is always looking ahead, a strategy, a plan. A man who eats his seed has no plan. A man who has a plan and sticks to it is unstoppable. 

 

...Good seed... You got to know you're stuff is good. There is no need to sow something defective. Only the strong survive. God never intended for weak seed to reproduce. 

 

I know my stuff is good. 

 

Don't let the circumstances make you lose confidence. 

 

Ain't nothing wrong with it, you just don't know what to do with it! 

 

...in his field... When you reap it, you're foolish not to enjoy it. A man doesn't sow his good stuff in another man's field. 

 

Be a steward over stuff that's not yours. The system exists, all you got to do is watch. It is through the stewards that the But came. 

 

While men slept, the enemy came. If they hadn't fallen asleep, the enemy would not have come. All they had to do was watch. 

 

The enemy wouldn't face them when hey  were awake bc he knew they would beat him. Man cannot remain awake allways. Asleep the body rebuilds and prepares for the next attack. 

 

It is okay to sleep. Even though your tiredness allows attack. They never saw it coming. They woke up shocked! 

 

They didn't know it was there until it began to grow. We don't know about the soil. The seed is so good that the nature of the soil doesn't matter. Sone stuff is so good that it could work anywhere.  

 

A tenacious seed. Refusing to die. Though he slay me, yet will I trust him. 

 

Tenacity. Still here. 

 

All of this happens in the king's domain. When the good seed begins to come up, then the tare showed. They came up together. Whenever the good comes, the bad comes. They both grow up together. 

 

"From whence cometh this?" 

 

You know that your seed is growing when you see the weeds appear. That which is counterfeit will always come up beside that which is real. 

 

You cannot make a copy if you don't have an original. 

 

Some things that happen will make you question the authenticity of your promise. You will doubt yourself. 

 

"didnst not thou plant good seed in your field?"

 

An enemy hath done this! Don't doubt your self, your seed, or your God! 

 

What do you do when your Miracle and your Miserable grow up at the same time?

 

They asked if they should go and fix it. In the King's domain you do nothing. Rest in the promise of the Lord. 

 

If you do something, you're going to mess it up. If you go pullin up the weeds you will pul up the good stuff. It's planted so close to the good stuff that it will take divine surgery. It's too early to pull the weeds. You will disrupt the plant. 

 

You can't do it yet, because it's not harvest time. You will disrupt the blessing trying to fix the burden. 

 

The dog barks at the moon, but the moon doesn't bark back. You are too high to mess with someone that small. 

 

The only reason you are under attack is because toy are effective. Don't get distracted. 

 

Rest in peace. God says, I'll fix it into harvest. I started it, I'll finish it. Vengeance is mine. It belongs to me. I knew his was coming. The storm won't stop the process. 

 

The sign of the harvest is when you see the tate gathering together. They will burn together. 

 

Your problems are being bundled.  When they are bundled, then it is time to harvest. That is the time to gather what you have sown. 

 

Rest. He's got you right where he wants you. 

 

Faith is proven when you can sleep through the storm. 

 

Rest in peace.
