Text: Mark 4:26
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
In Gospel of Mark 4:26, Jesus reveals that the Kingdom of God is like a man scattering seed on the ground. The man’s role is simple — he sows. The power of growth is not in his hands, for Scripture declares, “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase” (1 Corinthians 3:6).
The Kingdom does not advance by human pressure or performance. It begins with quiet obedience and faithful sowing. God hides extraordinary power in ordinary acts of faith, just as Zechariah 4:6 reminds us, “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord.”
Many become discouraged when results are not immediate. But the seed works beneath the surface before it appears above it. Heaven is active even when earth seems silent, and in due time what is hidden will break forth into visible testimony.
Your assignment is to sow; God’s assignment is to grow. Every prayer, every word, every act of obedience is a seed placed into divine soil. Trust the mystery — what God begins in secret will manifest openly in His appointed season.
Prayer Nugget: Father, teach me to trust the unseen work of Your Kingdom. Let my confidence rest in your power to bring increase in Jesus name.
