FOR INCREASE: PRAY AND PLANT
TEXT: JOHN 12:23-26
MEMORY VERSE: “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit” (JOHN 12:24).
When asked what the secret of his powerful preaching was, James Duncan said, “The secret is thirteen hours of consecutive prayer”. How about Charles G. Finney? After spending a day in the woods in prayer and fasting, he preached that night in a phenomenally irreligious congregation. The sermon was accompanied by such divine power that the whole congregation, except one man, fell under the anointing. That man was Finney himself.
Numerous great achievements have been accomplished through Prayer. God requires us to plant a Seed, but first, you must seek Him on bended knees; the planting is an act of faith. Labour on that plot of land which God has given to you. That plot may be school work, learning a vocational skill or doing a paid job. Work hard at it and pray as well.
Beloved of God, we must die to self, die to the world and labour, praying fervently for the Lord of the harvest to give the increase in our endeavours. Remember, Paul and Apollos planted and watered respectively but God gave the increase.
QUOTE: First, you must seek Him on bended knees.
CHALLENGE: Plant a seed that God can use to grow wonders.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, turn my human efforts into huge success.
