Application:

1. When was the last season in your believing life, when God’s Seed ( i.e.

Kingdom Truths/Principles) were sown on your shallow soil? Do you live

life based on impulses and/or instincts?

2. Do you find yourself whenever you “broadcast” God’s Seed that you look

for shallow soil?

3. As a citizen of the Kingdom of God, have there been times when God’s Seed

is choked off by your worries of this present age and the deceitfulness of

riches? If yes, what did you finally do to kill the weeds/thorns?

4. Have you had seasons when you were so busy living that you did not think

how you were living?

5. What do you think of the following statement: “Miscellaneous things can

become the cause of spiritual strangulation”?

6. How well do you understand your productivity ( i.e. fruit production) is

directly linked to your abiding in Christ? ( i.e. faithfulness as a citizen of the

Kingdom of God)
