My Dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. On this day February 26th, it is a great pleasure to meet you through this auspicious message. May the Lord bless you. 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, This verse emphasises about the Lord that only He can give the increase. It is neither the one who plants nor he who waters, But God who gives. This is told as a counselling to us. If you see the previous verse, Paul says, “I planted, Apollos watered but God gave the increase.” So you see that if God should give you a good harvest then, If you wish to inherit a good harvest, then you need to take effort, that means you must plant. Then you need to water the plants. That means you need to pray. If both this happens then God will give the increase. But it is not by one who plants nor by the one who waters, but it is by God who gives the increase it will be fulfilled. So we should look up to the Lord who gives the increase. Ask the Lord to give you the seed to sow, Lord give me the investment. Lord give me the spirit of boldness, and strength to do my work. Make a way somehow to sow seeds. Then we must sow the seeds that God has given.
If you say that you are doing much hard work and then go very proudly to reap the harvest you will be disappointed. So what must you do? You need to pray. We need to pray for that reason .Apollo watered means we need to pray for a good harvest. If you have these two things in your life then you will prosper. If you have come, saying that nothing has happened, so far. Then All those things which have not happened will be granted to you, by the one who causes it to happen. In the place where you work you will get a good salary. You will reap a hundredfold of souls in the place where you do your ministry.
Prayer: Dear Lord, we thank You. Lord thank you Lord for surrounding them with your grace. Lord You have said, it is not by one who plants or by the one who waters, but by God who gives the increase. Lord all things are possible with You alone. Lord it is true that they fell inside the army but by You they will be able to leap over a wall. I thank You Lord for giving them the grace to come out of their hurdles. We Thank You. Thank You. Let the harvest of your children be plenty in number, in sixty, in hundred, in thousands, in lakhs and in ten thousand. Honor your children. Let everything that they do be prosperous. Lord, you have said all things are possible with you. So whatever they are lacking in that area, I pray that all things will be made possible by you oh lord.
In Jesus Name We Pray.
Amen.
