Our Lord Jesus Christ used parables to illustrate the response to and the effect of His word on various groups of people. In an illustration, He said a house stood firm in spite of adverse weather conditions and another fell under the same conditions due to their different foundations. In our text of today, He talked about four groups of people that His word impacted differently with the fourth group being the only one that is profitable. This is the group of people who hear the word and receive it and cause it to produce fruit: thirty percent, sixty percent and some a hundred percent. You will not be among the unprofitable groups in Jesus’ name.

Friend, your heart should be like the good ground where seeds germinate and grow to produce plenteous harvest. This is the type of soil Jesus wants you to be. Do you allow the word of God to be rooted in your heart to transform you? Be a doer of the word of God and you will become fruitful.
