1. The Parable of the Sower – Matthew 13:3-9; 18-23 (NKJV)

“Behold, a sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell by the wayside... But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop…”
Jesus explains:
“The seed is the word of the kingdom…” (v.19)

Key Meaning:

The Seed = the Word of God (truth).
The Ground = the heart condition of people.
Satan comes to snatch the seed, choke it, or prevent its growth.

It’s not literally about people as seeds, but about how the truth (Word) is received and what kind of spiritual growth it yields.

2. The Parable of the Weeds (Tares) – Matthew 13:24–30; 36–43 (NKJV)

“The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.”

Jesus explains (v. 37–39):

Sower of good seed = Son of Man (Jesus)
The field = The world
Good seeds = sons of the kingdom
Tares (weeds) = sons of the wicked one
Enemy = the devil
Harvest = end of the age
Reapers = angels

🌾 Does this mean literal people? Let’s dig deeper.

Here’s where layers of spiritual symbolism unfold.

a. The "Seed" = Word, but it also becomes identity.

When a person receives the Word (seed) and believes, they become a child of God.

“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God...” – John 1:12

When a person rejects the Word, and walks in lies and rebellion, they come under another spiritual lineage.

🐍 The “Seed of the Serpent” vs. “Seed of the Woman”

Origin: Genesis 3:15 (NKJV)

“I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.”

“Her Seed” = Christ (the Messiah, born of woman)
“Your seed” (serpent) = Those who align with Satan’s rebellion

➤ Is Satan the literal father?

No. But he is a spiritual father to those who reject the truth.

Jesus said this clearly to the Pharisees:

“You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning… because there is no truth in him.” – John 8:44

Jesus does not mean they are biologically from Satan—but that they:

Embrace lies
Reject truth
Walk in hatred, deception, and pride
Hence, they have his spiritual nature

🧬 Spiritual Lineage Is Determined by Truth or Deception

Spiritual Lineage	Born From	Nature	Outcome
Seed of the Woman	Word of God (Truth)	Obedience, faith, humility	Eternal life, inheritance
Seed of the Serpent	Lies, pride, rebellion	Deception, hatred, murder	Judgment, destruction

🌱 The Role of the Human Heart

Whether someone becomes wheat or tare depends on their response to truth:

“Today, if you will hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.” – Hebrews 3:15

That’s why Jesus starts most parables with:

“He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

You’re absolutely right to say:

“...does not mean Satan is literally father but who deny truth and make their heart hardened.”

Yes! The heart becomes the soil for either:

Divine truth, or
Demonic deception

🔥 Deep Spiritual Implications

1. We are vessels – either of light or darkness

2 Timothy 2:21:

“If anyone cleanses himself… he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master…”

2. Everyone is created by God, but not everyone is born of God

Created = physical life
Born of God = spiritual life (John 3:3)

3. God sows truth → the enemy sows counterfeit

Just like wheat and tares look similar, false teaching and true teaching often appear alike.
But the fruit reveals the root.

🧠 Summary: Breaking It Down

Concept	Symbol	Meaning
Sower	Jesus	Bringer of truth
Seed	Word of God	The truth that brings life
Soil	Hearts	How people receive the Word
Tares	Sons of deception	Those who reject truth
Enemy	Satan	Father of lies
Seed of Woman	Christ & His followers	Born of truth
Seed of Serpent	All in rebellion	Born of deception

🌾 The Mystery of Seeds: Truth, Deception & The War Between Lineages

“He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” – Matthew 13:9 (NKJV)

There is a war happening within the heart of every man and woman. A war between two seeds. A conflict not of race or nation, but of spiritual lineage — a battle between truth and deception, light and darkness, the seed of the woman and the seed of the serpent.

Many hear these terms and assume poetic metaphor. But these aren't just parables or figures of speech. These are the spiritual blueprints that define destinies — of individuals, of churches, and even of nations.

Let’s dive deep.

🔥 The Prophetic Origin: Seed of the Woman vs. Seed of the Serpent

In Genesis 3:15 (NKJV), God declares:

“And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.”

This isn't just about Eve. It's a cosmic declaration:

“Her Seed” points to Christ (Galatians 3:16).
“Your seed” refers to those who carry the spirit of rebellion, lies, and murder—the nature of Satan (John 8:44).

🙅 Is Satan Literally the Father of Some People?

Not biologically. But spiritually, many adopt his nature:

“You are of your father the devil… he was a murderer from the beginning... there is no truth in him.” – John 8:44

🌱 The Sower, The Seeds, and The Soils – Matthew 13:3-9; 18-23

Jesus explains:

“The seed is the word of the kingdom.”
“The ones by the wayside are those who hear; then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in their hearts.”

The same seed is sown, but only some bear fruit. The difference? Not the Word, but the condition of the soil — the heart.

✨ Types of Hearts (Soils):

Wayside – Truth heard, but not understood → Satan snatches it.
Stony Ground – Receives with joy, no root → falls in tribulation.
Thorns – Choked by cares, riches → unfruitful.
Good Ground – Understands → bears fruit 30, 60, 100-fold.

🔍 Implication: A hardened heart becomes a highway for the enemy’s seed (lies) to be sown.

🌾 The Wheat and the Tares – Matthew 13:24–30, 36–43

“The field is the world, the good seeds are the sons of the kingdom, but the tares are the sons of the wicked one.” – Matthew 13:38

⚔️ The Distinction:

Both grow together until the harvest (end time)
The Son of Man sows good seed (sons of the kingdom)
The devil sows tares (sons of rebellion)

These are not casual churchgoers vs atheists. The difference is spiritual:

Truth vs Lies
Born Again vs Self-righteous
Submitted hearts vs Hardened hearts

💔 Case Studies: Wheat and Tares in Real Lives

☠️ Moses vs Pharaoh

Pharaoh: Hardened his heart repeatedly (Exodus 7:13, 9:12)
Moses: Murdered an Egyptian (Exodus 2:12), but humbled, turned to God

Both sinned, but one was humbled and transformed, the other defied God.

“God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.” – James 4:6

🤥 Abraham vs Abimelech

Abraham: Lied about Sarah (Genesis 20:2)
Abimelech: Almost sinned, but feared God and stopped (Genesis 20:6)

“In the integrity of my heart and innocence of my hands I have done this.” – Genesis 20:5

God responds:

“Yes, I know you did this in the integrity of your heart. For I also withheld you from sinning...” – Genesis 20:6

🔍 Again: Both were flawed. But one had a heart aligned to God, and the other was restrained by God due to fear and integrity.

🧍 Judas vs Peter

Peter denied Jesus — but wept bitterly and returned (Luke 22:62)
Judas betrayed Jesus — and chose death over repentance (Matthew 27:5)

Both failed, but only one repented. The tares never turn, even when exposed.

🌬️ The Role of the Spirit – Born Again vs Mere Believer

“Unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” – John 3:3

There are many believers who know of Jesus, attend church, even serve—but remain unregenerated. They are informed but not transformed.

Difference:

Believer	Born Again
Intellectual faith	Spiritual rebirth
Mental assent	Heart surrender
May bear fruit temporarily	Bears lasting fruit
Can fall away under trial	Endures through abiding in Christ

🕊️ Chaff vs Wheat – Psalm 1:4, Matthew 3:12

“He will thoroughly clean out His threshing floor, and gather His wheat into the barn; but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” – Matthew 3:12

Wheat has weight (substance – Holy Spirit)
Chaff is weightless, blown by wind (emotion, deception)

Chaff is outwardly connected to the wheat, but when tested, it's separated by wind (doctrine, offense, trial).

⚠️ Where Do You Stand?

Many hear the Word and celebrate it, but their hearts remain unyielded. That’s when the enemy comes and sows his own nature: pride, lust, fear, religious control, deception.

The final harvest is not just about churchgoers vs atheists. It’s about those who bear the DNA of Christ through the new birth vs. those who carry the spiritual DNA of rebellion.

🔥 Final Call: Repent, Be Born Again, and Let His Seed Take Root

“Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him…” – 1 John 3:9

The seed of God is incorruptible:

It transforms the heart
It bears the fruit of the Spirit
It endures every trial

💧You must be born again, not just informed.

If the truth you hear does not become the truth y mjmymc ou live, the enemy will steal it, and plant deception instead. The heart that is not surrendered becomes the field of the devil.

🙏 A Prayer of Surrender

“Father, I don’t want to be just a hearer. I surrender my heart. Let every hardened soil be broken, every thorn uprooted, every stone removed. Sow in me the seed of Christ. I want to be counted among Your wheat, Your sons, Your remnant. In Jesus’ name, amen.”

Let the wheat arise. Let the chaff be exposed. Let the fire of God separate what only looks like faith from what truly lives by it.

Choose today whose seed you carry.

🛡️ What Do We Do With This?

Discern. Guard your soil. Know the seed.

Test all teachings: “Is this truth from God’s Word?”
Examine your fruit: “Am I becoming like Christ?”
Check your heart: “Am I soft to conviction, or hard like the path?”

🙏 Final Reflection

Even Cain was warned by God:

“Sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.” – Genesis 4:7

But he hardened his heart and chose hatred. That’s the moment he aligned with the serpent’s nature.

But we have been called to be born of incorruptible seed:

“…having been born again… through the word of God which lives and abides forever.” – 1 Peter 1:23
