*DAILY DEW 13/JULY/2025* *How Satan Steals The Word* _Key Bible Text:_ *"The sower soweth the word. And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts."* (Mark 4: 14-15) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 4:14-15, Jesus teaches the parable of the sower, highlighting the challenges of spreading the Gospel message & preaching or teaching the Word. The sower represents those who share God's word, while the different soils symbolize various responses to the message. The "way side" soil represents individuals whose hearts are hardened, making it difficult for the word to take root. Satan quickly removes the message, preventing any spiritual growth. This verse warns that spiritual hardness can hinder one's ability to receive and respond to God's word. It is the hardness of the heart, that Satan capitalizes on when stealing the word from people's heart. The key lesson here is the importance of having a receptive heart when hearing God's word. To cultivate spiritual responsiveness, one must be willing to listen, reflect, and apply the message. This parable encourages believers to examine their own hearts and pray for openness and receptivity to God's word. In conclusion, the parable of the sower highlights the need for a receptive heart to receive and respond to God's word. By understanding the different responses to the Gospel message, believers can better appreciate the importance of spiritual openness and the challenges that come with sharing the word with others. _MEDITATION:_ *"The devil succeeds in stealing the word by hardening your heart against the word of God. Be aware & remain humble to receive the Word."* *#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.
