WHAT IS YOUR ROLE?

 

WHAT IS YOUR ROLE?

Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one?  I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase.   1 Corinthians 3:5-6. (NKJV)

Sometimes we may feel that we are not making any headway in the life of someone to whom we are witnessing because we don't see the fruit.   Perhaps your role may be to intercede in prayer asking the Holy Spirit to the "till the soil" of an individuals heart to prepare it to receive the "seed" of the Word.  Your role may be simply to sow the seed or to water the seed that someone else has sown.  However, as our scripture reveals, it is God who 'gives the increase'.

When the *soil  of ones heart is depleted of its nutrients and stony because of sin or things endured/suffered previously, we must not give up.  Other times the soil of ones heart can be rich and grab the seed of the Word immediately with joy.   (See Matthew 13)  Your role might be to witness the harvest by being a caretaker of sorts to nourish, support, and mentor the regenerated soul.  Or you may not get to witness the harvest at all, yet the role of each person in this process is vital and equally important to the overall process of leading a soul to the Lord.  Keep sowing and leave the results to the Lord.

Blessings.

Elohim, The God of Creation

Image
  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.                                                                                                   Genesis 1:1 , NKJV God has many "names"or "titles"that reflect His character and benefits. Today, I am focusing on Elohim, the God of Creation.  I was blessed to celebrate another birthday a couple of days ago, and my gift was to travel to another state with loved ones where the eclipse could be seen in its totality.  I saw the one locally in 2017, but that partial one paled by comparison to this one.    Photo by Mohamed Nohassi on Unsplash To say that it was awesome is such an understatement.  Visitors traveled from as far west as California, and there were some who were French speaking from who knows where.  I am seldom at a loss for words, however, this was an exception.  Seeing God's creation on full display as it went though the various phases was awe inspiring and caused me to tear up.  The change i

PASSION WEEK/HOLY WEEK

Image
No one can take my life from me.  I sacrifice it voluntarily.  For I have the authority to lay it down when I want to and also to take it up again.  For this is what my Father has commanded.  John 10:17-18 (NLT)    This season is one of the most consequential & unforgettable periods of time in Christiandom.  A painful time which ends triumphantly! Passion Week or Holy Week began on Palm Sunday and continues to Resurrection Sunday/Easter.   Jesus, motivated by His love for us and desire to redeem us, suffered unbelievable torture and humiliation to pay our sin debt.   He who was without sin. * It is called Passion Week because Jesus was motivated by His passionate love for us and desire to provide a path back to a restored relationship with the Father through Him.  The Father loves me because I sacrifice my life so I may take it back again. (John 10:17) .  He accomplished it through His suffering, death, and resurrection.  Those of us who are followers of Christ should always fe
