How parable of the sower applies to Kenya today

The Bible has very interesting parables. Take the example of the parable of the sower. The parable tells of a farmer who scatters seeds on different kinds of ground. The story illustrates how different people respond differently to life’s guiding truths or opportunities. Some ignore them, some embrace them briefly and lose interest, others are overwhelmed by distractions, but those who are open, grounded, and committed allow these truths to grow into lasting change and fruitfulness. As the Bible says, “Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty” (Matthew 13:1–23).
