1 Corinthians 3:6
I have planted, Appolos watered; but God gave the increase.
We have heard the Word of God Preached by the Servants of God many times in our Lives. But most of the Believers does not really know how the Growth taken place in one's life as a matured Christian.
We saw Jesus speaks about the Parable of the Sower in the Gospels. We understand the Sower was Jesus Christ Himself through His servants, but the seed does not Germinate all of sudden without having good ground and water, the good ground here means "Prepared Heart" and water means "The Word of God". In other hand "Willingness" and "Faith in the Word of God". Thus Spiritual Germination took place in one's life.
God played main role in the Growing process according to 1 Corinthians 3:6 "but God gave the increase" Paul was the sower or planter ( Evangelist ) Appolos Watered ( Pastor ) but God gave the in crease... God is the Main Person in this episode. We can understand God only made it Grow the plants ( the Believers ) not the Evangelists nor the Pastors but God, in the Church and also in an individual Spiritual life.
If you are a sower of the Word of God and if u don't see the increase don't just discourage trust God He will send the watering person and He Himself will Grow that seed which you sowed in the hearts of people in due time. There is a Word of God in that, God says "so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it " Isaiah 55:11 ( NIV ) God is expecting His Word to be Germinating and spreading around the world in the lives of every people. When the Word of God is sowed in human heart it will remain and Germinate if the heart is ready for the seed ( the Word of God ) it will go on in the process of Germination till it grows like a tree and bearing fruits, "he produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown " Matthew 13:23b ( NIV ). Growing in the scene Maturity in one's life. To be mature is to be like Jesus spontaneously.
God bless all the Believers in Christ Jesus our Lord.....
Servant of the Lord
