PREFACE SUMMARY

Greetings everyone in the name of our Lord, I have prayerfully sought the Lord concerning what I could bring to the table in this message that will cause us to leave more determined and motivated to recognize the need for good leadership to be established in our churches today because beloved, we have lost an entire generation due to selfish controlling leaders that refused to step aside and allow a younger more energetic leader to take their place.

Beloved, the sower in this parable (God) has sown good seed in his field for a healthy wheat harvest, however But in the dark of night an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat.

Saints, when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared as well, but God in this parable did not root them up stating that they may uproot some good plants with them showing us that he allows the kingdom of darkness for a time to exist alongside his kingdom for a purpose but he also shows us in this parable that he has long patience for the fruit of the earth but in his time the wicked will be uprooted and judged.

Saints, in this parable, those sowing the seed of the Word of God are those who share the Gospel to other, and the ground represents the hearts of those hearing the Word of God and the way they respond to the message.

Beloved, the good seed that is sown represents all who believe and trust Christ as their savior and are recognized as wheat, while the tares are recognized as the seeds of the evil one that we call Satan.

Beloved reader, harvest time spoken of in this parable is a picture of the approaching end of the church age dispensation, with the ones doing the harvest being the holy Angels of God, and the bottom line and spiritual truth Christ is attempting to reveal to his disciple is the ongoing struggle and colossal war taking place between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of Satan.

Beloved, the sad fact we have today beloved is the lack of love existing in jealous & selfish leaders who fail to mentor and train someone to take their place, therefore leaving a void because we now have untrained, unqualified leaders attempting to lead a flock when in truth, they are the ones that need to be led.

EXPOSING THE DARK KINGDOM

Beloved reader, Just as God has His servants to accomplish His purposes, Satan also seeks for individuals to fulfill his purposes which are to kill, steal, and destroy..
