So we should plant the seed that God has blessed us with. We as Christians have been given an opportunity to have a huge ministry for our Lord! How, your a not preacher or a minister, you say. Easy, as you go out in your daily endeavors, take the seed God has planted in you, and plant it every where you go! All you have to do is act as God wants you to. As people who see you day in and day out at work, the stores, the park, etc. you can be planting a seed in them by just being a good example of Christ. Show love, mercy, and joy. Let those blessings that God has given unto you be used to spread the gift of knowledge to everlasting life. Let the people see through you the eyes of Christ and the relationship that you have with him. By doing this you have started to sow that seed into their hearts and have showed them what they are longing for, a relationship that they need!! Thank You Lord God for these wonderful and awesome blessings and gifts you have blessed us with, and bless us more to be able to use them! Amen!!
2 Corinthians 9:5-15 (GNB)
(5) So I thought it was necessary to urge these believers to go to you ahead of me and get ready in advance the gift you promised to make. Then it will be ready when I arrive, and it will show that you give because you want to, not because you have to.
(6) Remember that the person who plants few seeds will have a small crop; the one who plants many seeds will have a large crop.
(7) You should each give, then, as you have decided, not with regret or out of a sense of duty; for God loves the one who gives gladly.
(8) And God is able to give you more than you need, so that you will always have all you need for yourselves and more than enough for every good cause.
(9) As the scripture says, "He gives generously to the needy; his kindness lasts forever."
(10) And God, who supplies seed for the sower and bread to eat, will also supply you with all the seed you need and will make it grow and produce a rich harvest from your generosity.
(11) He will always make you rich enough to be generous at all times, so that many will thank God for your gifts which they receive from us.
(12) For this service you perform not only meets the needs of God's people, but also produces an outpouring of gratitude to God.
(13) And because of the proof which this service of yours brings, many will give glory to God for your loyalty to the gospel of Christ, which you profess, and for your generosity in sharing with them and everyone else.
(14) And so with deep affection they will pray for you because of the extraordinary grace God has shown you.
(15) Let us thank God for his priceless gift!
