The Witness
The Measuring Stick The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while he was sleeping, his enemy nemy came and sowed also darnel, among the wheat, and went on his way. 26 So when the plants sprouted and formed grain, the darnel or weeds appeared also. 27 And the servants of the owner came to him and said, Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? Then how does it have darnel shoots in it? 28 He replied to them: “An enemy has done this!” The servants said to him, Then do you want us to go and weed them out? 29 But he said, No, lest in gathering the wild wheat, wheat weeds resembling wheat, you root up the true wheat along with it. 30 Let them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will say to the reapers, Gather the darnel first and bind it in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my granary. Matt 13:24-30 Ampl
Weeds resembling Wheat A great question arise in the hearts of many? Shall the splintered church, which over 2000 years have been divided into many denominations be able to unite? Many in South Africa desire a revival and think we are at the brink of the breakthrough. What does Yahshua – Jesus Christ, really think about the plans and attempt of men to unite the body? The prophet Isaiah prophecy about how Yahshua – Jesus, will judge the deeds and actions of men. He will not judge by what He sees, neither by what He hears. He will judge in true righteousness. Through a radical and non compromising prophetic word, Yahshua reveals the idolatry of men.
