UNCULTIVATED GROUND

Hosea 10:12-13 “Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers righteousness on you.  But you have planted wickedness, you have reaped evil, you have eaten the fruit of deception.  Because you have depended on your own strength and on your many warriors,”

The Scene: Horse- or oxen-type plowshare, used to break up unplowed ground for a new planting season.

The message of Hosea and other Scriptures shown below were intended by God, through His Word, to  bless all those who choose to live in righteousness, according to His will and His Word.

God speaks to the unspiritual people who have not followed after His ways.

God wants to bless His children now.   Be prepared for blessings, all you who are in the Lord. Prepare the hard, unplowed ground; then the Holy Spirit can bring countless blessings. The world will see the blessings and choose to be saved. Others will not make that choice, will become jealous, and will hate God’s blessed people.

Isaiah 55:10-11 “As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”

The above word of God requires righteousness of God’s own, those who have accepted Jesus Christ as Lord–God’s only Son.  They have received abundant blessings and have seen their resources increase, as they themselves have increased in right living for God.

Abundance will come to those who choose Jesus Christ over the world and its system.

Malachi 3:10 “‘Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.'”
