What if God has already planted
0:02
something very very powerful in you but
0:06
your life is too distracted, too
0:09
wounded, too busy or too crowded for it
0:13
to grow.
0:15
In today's gospel, Jesus tells the
0:17
parable of the swer. Yeah. The same seed
0:21
is scattered but it does not produce the
0:24
same harvest everywhere.
0:27
Some seed is eaten, some seeds dry up,
0:31
some seeds get choked, but some fall on
0:35
good soil and produces fruit beyond
0:38
imagination.
0:40
That seed is God's word. That soil is
0:45
your heart.
0:47
Today's message is clear. God planted a
0:50
purpose in you, but you must prepare the
0:54
soil, your heart.
0:57
Welcome to today's uh Sunday motivation,
1:00
inspiration and encouragement. Today is
1:03
the 15th Sunday in ordinary time
1:06
and you can find our daily catholic
1:10
readings
1:11
at our website catholic readings.org
1:15
and the link is in the description.
1:19
So my good people uh in today's gospel
1:22
which is uh the gospel of Matthew
1:25
chapter 13 verse 1-23
1:28
yeah Jesus gives us one of the most
1:31
powerful images of the spiritual life. A
1:35
swer goes out to sow seed.
1:38
Some seeds fall on the path and birds
1:41
come and eat them.
1:44
Some fall on rocky ground, springs up
1:47
quickly but dries up because it has no
1:51
deep roots. Some fall among thorns and
1:54
the thorns choke it. But some fall on
1:58
rich soil and produces fruit 30, 60 and
2:03
100fold.
2:05
My people, this gospel is not just about
2:08
farming. No, it's about your life. It's
2:14
about
2:16
your your your heart. It's about your
2:20
purpose. Don't bring shambashep up here.
2:25
No, no. It's about your life.
2:29
And
2:31
it be it being about your heart, it
2:36
talks about your purpose.
2:40
It is about why God created you and what
2:44
happens when his word enters your life.
2:49
Yeah. The seed is good. The problem is
2:53
not the seed. The problem is the
2:55
condition of the soil, the condition of
2:58
your heart. And that is a serious
3:01
message for you today. Maybe
3:05
you hear good advice, but you never
3:09
change. You hear the word of God, but
3:12
still remain the same. You receive
3:15
inspiration, but you do not act. You
3:19
have talents, but you do not develop
3:22
them. You have dreams, but do not
3:25
discipline yourself. You have a purpose,
3:28
but you are too distracted to pursue it.
3:33
Your heart is like the path. The word
3:37
comes but you but it never enters. You
3:41
hear but you do not listen. You attend
3:44
mass, watch sermons, scroll through the
3:49
social media and listen to my
3:52
motivational videos but nothing sinks
3:55
in.
3:57
Your heart is too hard, too proud and
4:01
too closed.
4:04
Maybe your heart
4:07
is like a rocky ground. You get excited
4:11
quickly and say this is my season. I
4:15
will change. I will start. I will serve
4:19
God. But when challenges come, you stop.
4:24
One criticism and you quit. One failure
4:28
and you disappear. One delay and you
4:32
lose hope. There is emotion but no root.
4:38
Maybe your heart may be full of thorns.
4:41
The word enters but worries choke it.
4:45
Your bills choke it. Pressure chokes it.
4:49
Social media comparison chokes it. It
4:53
the desire to look su successful also
4:56
chokes it. Yeah.
4:59
You chase money and status and approval
5:03
and comfort.
5:06
All those slowly suffocate the purpose
5:09
why God planted in you. You the purpose
5:12
in you. But then you may have good soil.
5:18
Good soil hears the word. Good soil
5:21
receives the word. Good soil protects
5:25
the word. Good soil allows the word to
5:28
grow until it produces fruit. And that
5:32
is where God is calling you today. God
5:35
did not create you to be barren. God did
5:39
not create you to live without fruit.
5:42
God did not create you just to survive
5:45
or to complain or to work and to repeat
5:49
everything over and over again. God
5:52
created you with a mission, with a
5:56
meaning and with purpose.
5:59
But your purpose needs good soil.
6:02
Yeah. Your talents need discipline.
6:06
Your calling needs prayer. Your passion
6:11
needs direction. Your skills need
6:14
humility. Your knowledge needs service.
6:18
Your faith needs roots.
6:22
And before you can effectively serve
6:25
God, first identify your Godgiven
6:29
purpose.
6:30
The purpose for which God created you.
6:33
Because it's only after discovering that
6:36
that you can be able to serve God with
6:38
those talents, with those skills and
6:42
with that knowledge. Because if you do
6:45
not know your purpose, your life will
6:47
become like scattered seeds, skills that
6:51
are scattered anywhere. You become busy
6:54
but not fruitful. You become active but
6:57
not effective. You become tired but not
7:00
fulfilled. Yeah, you do so many things
7:04
but you do not know which one God truly
7:08
placed in your hands.
7:12
And uh that is why this gospel is so
7:16
powerful today
7:18
because Jesus is telling us that
7:20
fruitfulness does not happen by
7:22
accident. A fruitful life must be
7:27
cultivated.
7:28
A farmer does not just throw seeds and
7:32
go and sleep forever. He prepares land.
7:36
He removes stones. He pulls out weeds.
7:39
He waters. He waits. And he protects the
7:43
seed. In the same way, you must prepare
7:46
your heart, your life for your godgiven
7:51
purpose.
7:53
Remove the stones of laziness. Remove
7:56
the weeds of destruction. Remove the
7:58
thoughts of fear. Remove the hardness of
8:02
pride. Stop feeding everything that is
8:06
choking your calling. Maybe your th is
8:09
too much scrolling in social media.
8:12
Maybe your th is negative friends. Maybe
8:16
your th is fear of failure. Or maybe
8:20
your th may be procrastination. Maybe
8:23
your D is chasing applause instead of
8:25
obeying God. Today Jesus is asking you
8:30
what kind of soil are you? Because the
8:34
word of God can transform your work. The
8:37
word of God can transform your business.
8:40
It can transform your family. It can
8:43
transform your ministry. It can
8:46
transform your studies. It can transform
8:49
your leadership. It can transform how
8:52
you use your talents.
8:56
And when God's word enters good soil,
8:59
which is your heart, ordinary people
9:03
begin to produce extraordinary fruit.
9:07
If you are a teacher, you become a
9:10
teacher.
9:12
If you are a builder,
9:14
you become a builder of souls. If you
9:17
are a parent, you become more than a
9:20
provider and become
9:23
a witness of faith. Yeah. If you are a
9:27
business person, you become more than a
9:30
money maker. Yeah. You become a channel
9:34
of integrity and service. If you are a
9:37
content creator, you become more than a
9:40
voice online. You become a messenger of
9:44
hope.
9:45
Yeah. That is what happens when purpose
9:48
grows in good soil. Yeah. And maybe you
9:54
are listening today and saying
9:58
laban
10:00
I believe God created me for something
10:03
but I do not know exactly what it is. I
10:06
have gifts but I do not know how to use
10:09
them. I want to serve God. I need
10:12
clarity.
10:13
Don't you worry. just uh DM me. I can
10:18
help you identify your god-given
10:20
talents.
10:21
You will need to go to the to my DM and
10:26
uh just type there. Just send me a DM
10:29
and just type I want to discover my
10:32
purpose and I'll get back to you and
10:36
schedule for a session. Because when you
10:39
discover why God created you, your life
10:42
becomes focused. Your work gains
10:45
meaning. Your gifts become tools of
10:48
service. Your faith becomes fruitful.
10:53
God has planted purpose in you. Now
10:57
prepare the soil.
11:00
Prepare your heart. Protect the seed.
11:04
Remove the thorns.
11:07
Deepen the roots of your of your chute.
11:11
and let your life produce fruit for the
11:15
glory of God.
11:18
Well, my good people, like always,
11:23
like cliche,
11:25
ML call today, and I will never stop
11:28
saying this, make sure every day, every
11:32
day, at least one person
11:35
says to you, "Thank you." and the God
11:41
you serve be praised and glorified.
11:45
Yeah. And never say you have done it
11:49
because of your solo effort. No.
11:53
Do it uh say it's by the grace and power
11:58
and strength that God has given me. Let
12:02
your life become a testimony that God is
12:06
real, that God is good and God is
12:10
working through you.
12:13
Yeah. Never forget to attribute all your
12:16
success to God.
12:19
Never. This attribution of your success
12:22
to God is what makes God bless you more
12:26
and more every day because God loves a
12:30
grateful heart. If you like my video,
