I am a living example of the Word of God as contained in the Wheat and Tares.

I was born into and surrounded on all sides by Great Tares in the persons of All members of my family.

Persons of GREAT Evil Minds and Actions! Nothing, I repeat, Nothing Good ever came out of their mouths nor from them.

They so Loved Evil and were cursed with the Evil they so Loved and became the'evil exactly like their father Satan before them!

Their House was so Dark, no visitors ever came to the house, No, not one!

No friends, No, not one!

No relations, Yes, not one!

No Neighbours, aah, NEVER!

How did I survive?

First, I thank God, for I saw that the house I was born into was indeed Evil and Dark and I yearned for a difference and for Light and Good, having seen so much Evil.

The more I yearned for Light and Good, the more They hated me and GREATLY INCREASED their Evil OVER me.

I Got GREAT EVIL in return for the Goods they took and I gave them!

I was Overwhelmed but not Defeated!

They Set me Up Severally to be Gravely Harmed and Killed! And even delivered me into their hands.

But my would-be Harmers who tried could not harm me as best as they tried, for I was always escaped, even I, at that time was in awe, how much more Them!

Others who even Saw me and thought to harm me, Fled from me till this day!

The Lord saw me Through Them All!

All through my Growing years even up to Adulthood!

When the Lord Stands for You, Who Can Stand Against You, No, not One. In vain, they seek your blood and shall not find you. No, not one head on your head shall be Harmed. No, not One.

Even though I went through the Fire and it burnt HOT, He was there all the way, and even when, the Flood had covered me, I did not drown.

He the Lord saved from them All!

And now, in His Time not mine, He has plucked me out of that Field and placed me in His Barn, where there is PLENTEOUS and PLENTIFUL GOODNESSES and Boku-Boku PEACE and LOVE and JOY and ALL I CAN EVER WANT!

Praise be to the Lord, who did not let my Soul go down with the Dead!

I will Sing of the Mercies and Goodness of the Lord Forever, Forever I will Sing!

And the Tares? they have been plucked too, and Oh Boy! Are they SUFFERING IN GREAAAT PAIN AND SUFFERMENT, IN TORMENTOUS TORMENT, WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH EVEN WHILE THEY STILL LIVE.

HELL HAS STARTED FOR THEM HERE ALREADY!

Kobojunkie:

Is this supposed to be a poem?

No visitors in a dark house? What has that to do with the parable?

What happened to love your enemies as you love your own self?
What about praying for your enemies, not against them?

Bodydialect57:
He only expressed himself based on what he had experienced.

Kobojunkie:

Really, that is an actual experience? So why is He praising God for their suffering? That part got me wondering if it was a poem or something

Bodydialect57:
Yeah. He has a thread that really explained his ordeal.

Born again believers live in the world but are not of the world.

How does 'wheat' coexist successfully with 'tares' without their negative influences robbing off?

Jokerman:


John 1:12
Philippians 4:13;19

Bodydialect57:
I would love it if you could shed more light on those scriptures relate them with the topic in question. Thank you.

Jokerman:


They are words of encouragement as a wheat amongst tares

John 1:12," As many as received him, to them gave He power to become the SONS OF GOD"

Phil 4:13, " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me".

Phil 4:19, " but my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus"

Luke 10:19, "Behold I give unto you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over every power (deceit) of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you"

Matt 28:20, "And Lo, I am with you even up to the end of the age'

One common denominator... Jesus Christ is there to guide.

Bodydialect57:
Why were you hated that much by your supposedly immediate family?

truespeak:


That was what I wondered for Almost 40 years of my life until help from the Lord came.

Let me put it as simply as possible, while I (thanks to God) do not like wicked devices and plans, they all (who I used to call father, mother and siblings) loved wickedness.

Malice, lives in that house. Ever seen siblings who do not speak to each other since primary school till Today? They live in that house and they are the ones I used to call my brothers.

I was the only one who attempted to break the chain of malice by taking all their shit for the sake of family, and attempted to get them to speak to each other, but it was a Nullity!

Even recently discovered that, that was one of the works and workings of the woman I used to call mother, for i saw that she sowed discord and hatred between the siblings. And she always pitted one against another, at her pleasure!

She is Raw Evilness herself and Nobody, Not even her own many siblings speak to her. But that is another story!

Let me stop here, I am just thankful that I am out and all their wicked plans for me, was brought to nought, not by my hands but by the strength and Mercy of the Lord, else, I would surely have been counted among the dead and been found only in the grave.

Bodydialect57:
It is well. I sent you a pm.

Bodydialect57:
The needle can hide in haystack for all it cares, at the time of separation, the magnet will fish it out.

You still have the chance to sincerely open up in true repentance and surrender all to God by accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour.


Time is ticking...

Bodydialect57:
24 Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:
25 But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among, the wheat, and went his way.
26 But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.
27 So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares?
28 He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?,
29 [b]But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.
30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn.
Matthew 13:24-30
[/b]


The Lord Jesus Christ clearly pointed out in the above scriptures to let the tares and the wheat grow together because an attempt to pull out the tares could damage the wheat.
The harmful effects the tares/weeds have on the real plant could be overwhelming if not timely controlled.

Aside mistaken identity by inexperienced gardeners/farmers that could lead to its (wheat) being uprooted, weeds/tares reduce farm productivity, invade crops, and aggressively compete for water, nutrients and sunlight, resulting in reduced crop yield and poor crop quality.

In the face of those apparent dangers posed by the tares/weeds, why the coexistence till maturity?
Will the wheat survive the growing together?

How can a christian survive, as in, live an effective christian life in the midst of overwhelming mixed multitude?

BlueAngel444:
does wheat disturb itself about surviving? Isn't that the job of the farmer?

How will the wheat grow effectively in the midst of choking tares?

HellVictorinho:

Are you a generous Christian?

Bodydiialect57:
How do you mean?

HellVictorinho:

I just want to know if you can help me to some extent.
The lockdown caused the resumption date of schools in Lagos State to be extended towards January 18.
And I'm really struggling to survive since I don't earn enough as a subject teacher.

But the solid foundation that God has laid cannot be shaken; and on it are written these words: "The Lord knows those who are his" and "Those who say that they belong to the Lord must turn away from wrongdoing."


2Timothy 2:19.





Good morning to all.
