This verse keeps coming to mind, over and over. There are
believers out there who do not speak boldly what God has given them for they
fear to offend others. Listen!!
“The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream;
And he who has My word, let him speak My word faithfully.What is the chaff to the wheat?” says the Lord.
“Is not My word like a fire?” says the Lord,
“And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?"
-Jeremiah 23:28-29
God is blatantly saying “Who cares what the world thinks of
the Word of God”. The reference to the chaff and the wheat is that those who
are being saved is the wheat, and those who are not are the chaff that is to be
bound together at the end and burned. What is the chaff to the wheat!? The end
of those who reject Christ is certain. Do not let your fear of them inhibit you
from speaking the Word of God.
Another parable He put forth to
them, saying: “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. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a
crop, then the tares also appeared. So the servants of the owner came and said to
him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have
tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him,
‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ But
he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with
them. Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest
I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in
bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
-Matthew 13:24-30
The angels will gather together the chaff and
tares of the world, and bind them together to be burned. We are sent out to
find those who will believe, speak the Word of God into their life so that they
may live, and they too will be saved. We are to find the King’s lost children, something
we cannot do with a closed mouth.
