#The Atmosphere
Dear friend,
_ we all have our atmospheres
Key scripture : Mark 4:4
And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side and fowl if the air came and devoured it up.
We have so many people who are less sensitive or never pay any attention to the atmosphere. Reason being that we can not see the atmosphere, so we don't know when it changes, except when there is very clear sign.
Every single one of us lives not just in a place but also in an atmosphere.
Lets define the word Atmosphere. According to the dictionary, an atmosphere is:
1. The air in a particular place
2. The mood or a feeling in a situation.
3. A particular condition of an environment or surrounding influence.
My definition: *An atmosphere is the condition at most in a sphere. The air predominate in a sphere.*
We most definitely can't talk about an atmosphere without talking about an environment. Because every environment has to it a defined atmosphere (the kind of air in it). Time and Seasons comes with different atmosphere. So the atmosphere is always changing...we need to be sensitive enough to notice that change.
The emphasis is our key scripture wasn't just about the seed, it was more about the environment than it is about the seeds. But it also wasn't just about the environment but about the atmosphere!
*My environment*
Your environment is not necessarily about where you live, but who lives with you. It's not so much about what surrounds you but who surrounds you.
But within each environment, there is a particular air, mood, feeling, surrounding influence or atmosphere. Jesus in His parable kept talking about two surrounding influences: the birds of the air and the sun.
It is more dangerous for your seed to be at the road side than on the hard ground. Simply because anything on the road side belongs to no one. That's the very reason why the birds thought it was for food. When you don't make it clear that your seed is only yours, external/surrounding influences will act on it.
Your sphere belong to you and you alone. Don't keep it on the road side for everyone to influence it, they'll come in with bad airs. Everytime you are not in control of your mood or feeling or the air predominate in your sphere, then some other persons are. They decide the climatic condition of your sphere, and ultimately eat up every seed you have.
The main problem in the parable wasn't that the seed fell on the wrong place, but what killed the seed - Which is the atmosphere surrounding it.
*Effective atmosphere*
We must all come to understand that there are certain atmosphere we can't be effective in. You walk into a place, an organization or a church and sense deep pain in the atmosphere, anger, malice, hatred, strive or disunity, then that organization or church can never be effective neither would you if you stay there. In your home, office, school (especially in you own circle) create an atmosphere that would keep you at your best, highly effective.
_God often permits a change in the atmosphere as a sign to those who are sensitive that something good/bad is about to happen so you can pray._
Without a conducive atmosphere on the inside can not influence that of the outside. Before the elections, instead of spreading fear, why not ask God to steady your heart!
*Don't just live in a place, live with a good vibe*
Wake up with hope, faith, love, peace, Thanksgiving.... Create your atmosphere!
