Even a thirty percent return on a Stock Market investment would be a very happy return to most any of us so God\u2019s kingdom is obviously a GREAT investment.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Okay, let\u2019s review. There are certain things that will prevent the expansion of the kingdom of God in a person\u2019s life: lack of understanding, not having firm root, worry and the deceitfulness of wealth. Only the person with \u201cgood soil\u201d will produce.<\/p>\n<p>We often think of this parable as applying it to those who are not yet IN the kingdom but I think that\u2019s shortsighted. We can also apply it to those who have accepted the basics of the gospel. We can apply it to ourselves. How far will the gospel go in us to produce valuable change?<\/p>\n<h2>Reexamining our success and failure<\/h2>\n<p>With that we can look once more at the questions asked in the beginning\u2014how have you been most successful and least successful in your Christian walk? Could some of those successes and failures have to do with the soil in your life and where the seeds of the kingdom have fallen? Do you have rocky places or thorny places or by the side of the road places in your life?<\/p>\n<p>It might be easy to think that a \u201cby the side of the road place\u201d isn\u2019t really your own fault because this is the case where the <em>\u201cthe evil one comes, and snatches away what has been sown.\u201d<\/em> If someone comes along and steals from you, aren\u2019t you just an innocent victim? Not entirely. There are ways we can protect ourselves from theft. In the natural we can lock our doors and create an environment where stealing is less likely. We can do that in the spiritual realm too.<\/p>\n<p>God\u2019s Word says, <strong>\u201cYour adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.\u201d<\/strong> (1 Peter 5:8) Our protection is to <strong>\u201cBe of sober spirit, be on the alert.\u201d<\/strong> Obeying that insures God\u2019s seed will not fall by the side of our road where is CAN be snatched away.<\/p>\n<p>This is the wise way to look at all the other types of soil in your life too. Are you firmly rooted? How much worry is in your life? Have riches and \u201cthings\u201d deceived you? To what degree? That degree will probably match your success and failure rate in the Christian walk. Being able to connect the dots from failure to a root cause is like understanding finally falling on good soil. Now it can sink in and therefore grow something good that will produce up to a hundred-fold return.<\/p>\n<p>Bad soil can be reworked and turned into good soil. Rocks can be removed. Thorns can be uprooted and discarded. Shallow soil can be pulled in from the edges so it is not too thin for seeds to grow to maturity. The kingdom of God is meant to penetrate deeply in each of us. Then our abundance can overflow to other fields and take root in others\u2019 lives and the kingdom will spread profusely. <em>He who has ears, let him hear!<\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Closing Challenge Points<\/h2>\n<p>Pick an area in your own life where you have always struggled and try to apply a soil type to it.
