DEATH HAS STRUCK HOME AGAIN - Prayer Update, July 20th to August 2nd

EXHORTATION 💕

💝  WHAT IS YOUR SOIL-TYPE

Having been created in the first place from the dust of the ground, it is fitting that in one of Jesus' parables we are compared to soil.   Our "soil type" determines whether we live or die or how fruitful we are when the seed of the word of God is planted in us.

Jesus, in his parable described two major classes of soil, the second type had three sub-classes:

1. IMPENETRABLE 
    a. Wayside Ground - Words immediately taken by Satan

2. PENETRATED

    a. Stony Ground - Saved, enthusiastic, no dept, NO FRUIT.
    b. Thorny Ground - Saved, distracted by the world, 
                                         resources and desires, NO FRUIT
    c. Good Ground - Saved, Hears, accepts and bears FRUIT

What type of soil are you? 

Let us HEAR God’s word.  Let us RECEIVE God’s word.  Let us BRING FORTH FRUIT. 

Mark 4

3.  "Listen! Behold, a sower went out to sow. 

4.  And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside; and the birds of the air came and devoured it. 

5.   Some fell on stony ground, where it did not have much earth; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of earth. 

6.  But when the sun was up it was scorched, and because it had no root it withered away. 

7.  And some seed fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded no crop. 

8.  But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred." 

'Seeing they may see and not perceive, And hearing they may hear and not understand; Lest they should turn, And their sins be forgiven them.'

OBITUARY 😢

🕆🙌 DOUBLE HOME CALL

Obituaries are becoming a permanent feature in these prayer updates  Lydia's Aunt, Sister Iris Neta Allen went to be with the Lord on Saturday 1st August 2020. 

"Aunty Neta" was the eldest of Lydia's Mom's siblings.  She was the type of person who would give in spite of her own needs.  She will be dearly missed.

Sis Edgehill, a founding member of the Tunapuna Gospel Hall, also passed this week.  She served the assembly with distinction for many years.

We have been asked to minister at both funerals which will be held Friday God willing.  Sis Allen at 10:30am at Ebenezer Gospel Hall and Sis Edgehill at 2pm at Tunapuna Gospel Hall.
