Mathew 13:24-30 growing pains

INTRODUCTION

On August 14,2019 a great portion of the word especially entertainment and black America, tuned in for the the detail of the announcement of a newly formed partnership between the C.E.O. of Rock Nation (Sean Carter) aka JAY-Z

and before you know it we get hit wi

and the commissioner of the NFL Roger Goodell.

JAY-Z who recently refused to perform at Super Bowl 52 halftime show in support of Colin Kaepernick, has now formed an allegiance with the NFL who in black America’s eyes have white balled him KAEPERNICK

as a result social activist and journalist and reporters especially black have critically criticized the move by JAY-Z.

They have taken to social media to express their disdain their disapproval and disagreement to Mr. Carter

while JAY-Z has done his share of dirt and his music and mantra hasn’t always been something you want your kids following, AMERICA HAS witnessed the maturation and elevation OF JAY-Z. He says that his plans are to work through and initiative that already works with the NFL called inspire and they work to bring attention to social injustice once a year, Through JAY-Z partnership he’s asking to exhaust that platform all year round

and you can google what JAY-Z has already accomplished in the social justice areena quite impressive for someone with his background

while JAY-Z has done his share of dirt and his music and mantra hasn’t always been something you want your kids following, we have witnessed the maturation and elevation of this man’s thinking and his ability to pull a generation up that follows him. The rap and entertainment mogul and newly hailed billionaire, JAY-Z said he sees the larger platform of the NFL as a means to push social justice issues. And he says he wants to bring along anybody and everybody who has a piece to the puzzle.

Black journalist and activist and reporters quickly took to social media and weighed in on this.... some negative and some positive.

Roland Martin did a podcast with Mark Thompson and Jameel hill basically sayin that JAY-Z is a capitalist and he’s allowing the NFL to use him as a pawn to push their agenda to silence the black lives matter movement. Which has had an affect on the black supporters of the NFL.

the argument on one side is that some wouldn’t have a problem with the partnership had JAY-Z demanded Kaepernick be employed first

the negative say that JAY-Z is a sellout … reason being is that the NFL still haven’t allowed Colin Kaepernick gainful employment in the league EXPOUND

when people mad they need someone to blame.

the optimistic say they think its a great start being that nothing will be resolved unless relationships are formed and a discussion is had.

after

now its not my goal to sell you JAY-Z, or the NFL

or to sway you on either side of the spectrum

but after hearing both sides the objective and subjective because both opinions are out there

but after hearing both sides wisdom spoke to me and said IT’S TOO SOON

THATS ONE OF THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF OUR TEXT

TOO SOON

TIME WILL NARATE THIS STORY BETTER THAT ROGER GOODELL, JAY-Z THE PESIMIST OR THE OPTOMIST

I WISH I HAD TIME TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE DANGER OF RUSHING TO JUDGEMENT OR DECISIONS

BASED OFF OF EMOTIONS

POPULAR OPINION

FRUSTRATIONS

THE BIBLE SAYS BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING BUT IN EVERYTHING BY PRAYER AND SUPPLICATION WITH THANKSGIVING LET YOUR REQUEST BE MADE KNOWN TO GOD

AND THE PEACE OF GOD THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING SHALL GUARD YOUR HEART AND MIND IN CHRIST JESUS

SEE YOU MISSED YOUR SHOUT

BECAUSE WHILE I MIGHT NOT KNOW THE NEXT MOVE OR WHERE IM GOING .........WHILE IM WAITING ON GOD

AT LEAST I HAVE THE PEACE OF KNOWING IM NOT GOING THE WRONG WAY BECAUSE OF A RUSHED DECISION

OUR TEXT IS FOUND IN THE GOSPEL OF MATHEW AND IN THE NARRATIVE OF MATHEW UP UNTIL THIS 13TH CHAPTER

JESUS HAS BEEN BORN, BELIEVED IN AND HE’S BEEN BUSY

JESUS HAS BEEN BUSY PUSHING THE KINGDOM AGENDA

ISAIAH9:6  For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:

HE HAS HANDPICKED 12 DISCIPLES AND HAS AMASED AN AMAZING FOLLOWING

AND AT CERTAIN INTERVALS HE SHARES WITH HIS DISCIPLES WHICH ARE THE CORE AND THEN HE ALSO SHARES WITH HIS FOLLOWING WHICH ARE THE CROWD

And the government shall be upon his shoulder:

HE’S TRYING TO GET THE CROWD TO BELIEVE WHILE HE’S TEACHING THE CORE ADVANCED DISCIPLESHIP

And his name shall be called Wonderful, Counseller, The mighty God,

THATS THE SCENE OF CHAPTER 13

The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

WHERE JESUS TELLS THIS PARABLE

HE’S TRYING TO GET THIS CROWD TO BELIEVE AND HE’S DISCIPLING HIS DISCIPLES

HE TELLS THIS PARABLE OF THE KINGDOM WHEREBY HE COMPARES THE KINGDOM OF GOD TO A FARMER

AND UMM HE HAS THIS WHOLE NARRATIVE FOR THE FARMER

BUT HE COMPARES GODS KINGDOM TO A FARMER

THE FARMER HAS A FIELD

THE FARMER HAS SEED

THE FARMER HAS WORKERS

YOU DO UNDERSTAND THAT THE FARMER IN THE TEXT IS JESUS

WE ARE THE SEED

ACCORDING TO VS. 37-43

THE FARMER IN THE TEXT

AND THE WORLD IS HIS FIELD

BEFORE WE GET TO SPIRITUAL GROWTH IMMA TELL YOU WHAT AMAZED ME

IM AMAZED AT JESUS’ COMMITMENT TO MY SUCCESS AND GROWTH

BECAUSE SYMBOLICALLY IF IM THE SEED THAT HE PLANTS

MY GROWTH AND SUCCESS IS PREDICATED ON HIS WILLINGNESS AS A FARMER TO WORK IN MY DIRT

YOU DO KNOW THAT A FARMERS PRIMARY TOOLS ARE SEED AND SOIL (AKA)DIRT

AND WHATS AMAZING AS BELIEVERS IS HOW HARD WE WORK TO HIDE OUR DIRT FROM OUR NEIGHBOR

WHEN IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD GOD GOT DIRT ON ALL OF US (IN ALL OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS WERE AS FILTHY RAGS)

HE KNOWS MY DIRT AND HE’S STILL WILLING TO WORK WITH ME

HE KNOWS MY DIRT AND HE’S STILL WILLING TO USE ME

HE KNOWS MY DIRT AND HE STILL AIN’T GIVE UP ON ME

HE KNOW MY DIRT AND HE AIN’T TAKE HIS ANOINTING FROM ME

AND THIS IS FOR THE FOLK THATS TOO CUTE TO GIVE HIM GLORY

HE KNOW MY DIRT AND HE AIN’T KILL ME LAST NIGHT

AND YOU OUGHT TO THANK HIM THAT HE’S THE GOD OF A 2ND 10TH & 20TH CHANCE

AND WHILE I GOT BREATH IN MY BODY… IM A GIVE HIM GLORY

CAUSE HE LOOKED BEYOND MY FAULTS ........

TRANSITION: AS MUCH AS TIS PARABLE IS ABOUT THE KINGDOM THERE ARE PRINCIPLES FOUND IN THIS PARABLE ABOUT GROWTH

BECAUSE GOD IS ULTIMATELY CONCERNED ABOUT OUR GROWTH AND US BEARING FRUIT

ITS NOT ENOUGH JUST TO BE SAVED BUT ARE YOU GROWING

WRITE THESE DOWN

(KJV 1900)

A COUPLE FACTS I WANT TO PULL OUT OF THIS TEXT

18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.

A COUPLE FACTS I WANT TO PULL OUT OF THIS TEXT

POINTS

PLANTED

24-26 tares or weed grew among the wheat

the wheat stated out though as seed

the only way that the seed would grow is it had to be planted

He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

  Those that be planted in the house of the Lord Shall flourish in the courts of our God.

Shall flourish in the courts of our God.

The question is if you here, were you planted by GOD

Because planted people don’t bail at the first sign of trouble (KITA - )

ILLUSTRATION OF SEED AND SOIL (DIRT)

JOHN12:24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.
