Mark 4:20 " but these are the ones sown on good ground, those who hear the word. ACCEPT IT, and BEAR FRUIT: some thirty-fold, some sixty, and some a hundred."
You see from this verse you discover that there are levels and there are levels.before this verse, you'll see that Jesus also gave reference to some seeds that were sown , the difference between this example and the others is that this set of people NOT ONLY HEARD IT BUT ACCEPTED IT. And accepting it means taking it until it becomes a part of you, until it carves a niche in your heart!
Now lets go deeper---> Yes you heard the word , yes you've accepted the word, yes you think you've borne fruits but from this verse you discover that not all bear fruits as they ought to. The maximum is a hundred fold but some stop at thirty thinking "Yes! I've had enough" , some also stop at sixtyfold thinking "at least my fruits are more than that guy " while some get the whole HUNDREDFOLD!- which is the harvest planned for us! But how many really get it?
From mark 4:24 " take heed what you hear, with the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given"
We can see that Jesus is telling us here that the same measure you use to accept the word, God will give you your respective fruits! And those that even hear and hear more fruits will be given to them.so if you hear the word and just say it's not for me yet, well it really won't be for you yet! If you hear the word and think okay let me use if for the head-ache I have but it can't work for the cancer my father has, well so be it! Your head-ache will really go and your father will be left with cancer but if you take the word as it is and use it in your on-going life situation or problem whether it be failure, sickness, promotion, unemployment then I promise you the word will prevail !
So don't just stop when you get a thirtyfold keep hearing and accepting until it increases and increases to a hundred fold!
God bless.
