*DAILY DEW 5/JULY/2025* *The Parable of the Sower* (1) _Key Bible Text:_ *"And it happened, as he sowed, [that] some [seed] fell by the wayside; and the birds of the air came and devoured it."* (Mark 4: 4) _Bible Insight_ _The seed that falls by the wayside_ In Mark 4:4, Jesus teaches the Parable of the Sower, illustrating the different responses to God's message. The seed that falls by the wayside represents those who hear God's word but don't understand or internalize it. The birds that devour the seed symbolize Satan's attempts to steal God's word from our hearts. When we don't grasp or apply God's message, we become vulnerable to spiritual attacks and distractions. Do not assume that the satan that steals the word from our hearts come as satan. He comes sometimes as thoughts, sometimes as friends, sometimes as social media analytics and critics, sometimes as mood swings even, etc. This parable emphasizes the importance of: - *Receptivity*: Being open and receptive to God's word. - *Understanding*: Grasping the meaning and significance of God's message. - *Application*: Putting God's word into practice to bear fruit. Action steps-- This passage encourages us to: - *Cultivate a receptive heart*: Be open to God's word and willing to learn. - *Guard against spiritual distractions*: Be mindful of Satan's attempts to steal God's word from our hearts. Refer to the different ways he comes to steal them. - *Apply God's word*: Put God's message into practice to experience spiritual growth and fruitfulness. _MEDITATION:_ *"Our ability to procure, protect, process God's word defying every confusion and distraction, is our surest path to victory and greatness in this Kingdom."* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_July,2025* ❤ *Facebook Link:* https://www.facebook.com/share/1ZXrcgLmwm/ Please follow *David Joshua Egbochuo* on Facebook for more positive impact contents.
