I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building. 1 Corinthians 3:6-9 NIV
As I look out the window; it is evident, spring has sprung!
Spring is the time to plant the seed. May now be the time, we plant God’s eternal Truth.
What keeps us from planting? In our hands, we hold the seeds of eternal life. So, why do we hesitate to plant? Could it be fear that hinders us? Ensnaring us?
Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.
Proverbs 29:25 NIV
Snare - Strong’s Concordance Hebrew 4170: Bait. Lure. Snare.
Have you taken the bait?
The fear of man?
The fear of rejection?
The fear of being mocked?
The fear of ___________ ?
Fear is not of the Lord.
For God has not given us a spirit of fear (Strong’s Concordance Greek 1167- timidity,
cowardice), but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV
Fear not! For the Lord is with you! Be a courageous co-worker with Christ.
Plant the seed. Make an eternal difference!
Truly, the harvest proves plentiful.
Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” Matthew 9: 35-38 NIV
May we say, “Yes, Lord!" “Send me!”
Though, some workers have grown weary in the field; be encouraged, for the harvest is here! Do not give up!
Let us not become weary in doing well, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Galatians 6:9 NIV
Sow the seed.
Great things are happening - with faith - the size of a mustard seed!
May we choose to be diligent, zealous, passionate laborers with Christ. Now is the time! Bind all fear. Shake off the weariness. Step out in faith. Plant a seed. Watch. See the Lord bring forth a harvest. Multiplication Guaranteed!
Prayer
Father,
I have swallowed the bait of fear.
In the Name of Jesus, I sever the snare of fear off of my life, my mind, my heart, spirit, and body, and place it at Your feet. Embolden me now, as I am set free, in Jesus Name.
Send me!
I so desire to work with the Son for the Father’s glory. Lead by Holy Spirit.
Confident of Christ in me.
In the spirit, I pick up the sack of seed.
As a co-laborer with Christ, I will plant, and water as needed. Acknowledging,
it is only You, Lord, that can make it grow. Multiplication guaranteed!
Amen
Maybe, today is the day of your salvation?
Invite Jesus in to your life.
Father God, today I ask Jesus Christ to be the Lord of my life. Amen.
