My Dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May the name of the Lord be glorified. On this day, Dec.19th. It is a great pleasure to meet you all through this auspicious message. May the Lord Bless you all. Take with me from the book of 1 Corinthians 3:7, “So then neither he who plants, is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Everything will change. By whom? By God who gives the increase, everything will be possible. You thought you would have a good harvest and so you invested, You could have done some business. Or even farming. Or you could have an export company. Or you could have a grocery shop. Or you may have a shoe shop. Or you may have kept a leather company. And you could have exported the commodities. You could have got a fishing business. So you could have bought a boat or a ship too. You thought you would do very good business or you could have had a good harvest. And you thought you would get a good income. You bought land but there was not much yield. One who causes you to increase, is not there. If He is not there, then there will not be any income or harvest. You could have invested. But you did not get any profit. Because the one who makes you to get profit or get yield, is not with you in your business or in your life. If the God who causes you to increase is not there then there will not be any harvest. You could have invested. But this verse says, “So then neither he who plants, is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.”
The previous verse says, “ I planted , Apollos watered But it is the Lord who caused it to grow. “ So you can plant, your friends or those who are known to you could have watered. They could pour the prayer water, they can come forward and help you. But it is God who makes it grow. If you do these two things and do not keep the Lord with you, then there will not be any harvest. Paul planted, refers to an effort taken, that means, he must invest and also work for its growth, and they should plan well. And he should put in an effort. That’s what Paul was doing. Apollo watered. Represents, your friends, coworkers who stay with you, and help you in prayer life. So there is both work and prayer. Along with these two things the one who causes you to grow must be with you. Only then will there be a good harvest. This means if your life is a life of testimony then the Lord will be with you. If your testimony is not there then He will go away from you. That Day as long as God remained with Samson He was prosperous. He was victorious. All that he did prospered. Whatever he touched was fulfilled. Whatever thing he sought for he won victory. But when the spirit of the Lord was taken away from him then he lost all glory.
Since he went after prostitutes, He did not realize that God had departed from him. Like before he made much effort, it is true that he made an effort. But very pitiable. There was no harvest in his life. He met a disaster in his life. It led to great failure in his life. His eyes were plucked out. He who was so strong got trapped in the hands of his foes, within a moment. In order that you may not get trapped by any problem , you need to have or take God, the one who causes to make an increase or one who causes to grow along with you. In your business, in your studies, in your family life, then there will be a good harvest. Then there will be the harvest of a gift of a child, and the harvest of the souls, And all your hard work will never go to waste. So you need to plant, and need to put in a good effort. You need to pray well, and you should hold good testimony. If all these three are found in you then there would be good harvest. Your cup shall overflow. God will open the windows of heaven and bless you to close all your debts. “ You are crying there is no income, there is no harvest, I am working very hard, from day to night but there is no use. I am working very hard, and paying all those who work under me. All things are happening for them. Since I work hard I pay interest. For him all things are happening. But there is no harvest at all. I am not able to save a single paisa and therefore you are so worried. God will help you to save some money in the future. Take care of your testimony.
Prayer: Dear Lord, we thank You. Lord, I pray and bless all the children who are reading this message. Lord, you have seen the hard work of your children. You have heard their prayers also. But since they have no testimony they have no harvest. Instead of harvesting, they are harvesting many difficulties. Instead of harvesting grains, or profit, they are harvesting loss. Lord, I pray that an end will come to this difficult situation, Lord in the life of your children, in their business, in their ministry, may the Lord join with them and give them the grace of hoarding you within themselves. Just as Mary took hold of the good part, let each one of them, they may be businessmen, or doing ministry, or those going to jobs, help them to keep the Lord who causes them to make an increase of thirty , sixty, hundred and crores. Let them live without any debts on the face of this earth. Let them be a blessing to many others.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
