How significant it is to be God's field?

Now the works which were ordained before the foundation of the world that we should walk in them are those which we as co-workers with God are to build on the one and only foundation who is Jesus Christ and they are as follows;

1.         God's field

According to the apostle Paul, "For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, you are God's building. According to the grace of God, which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation and other builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ"

The irony of truth is, “to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift." But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills" (Ephesians 4:7; 1 Corinthians 12:7-11).

Therefore, we are individually responsible for the grace which we have received, and so we have been admonished saying; "Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure" (Philippians 2:12-13).

God's field according to the word of God is our heart in which the word of God is sown. For it is written; " When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside. But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no root in himself but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.'

"Now he who received seed among the thorns is he, who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty" (Matthew 13: 19-23).

The rationale for being God's field is to become productive, so that the seed which is the word of God can germinate, grow and bear fruit. Now the fruit produced from the cultivation of the seed which is sown in our heart is spiritual and should be clearly manifested in us as the field of God.
