The planter and the sprinkler



In the history of the Bible, we can notice that YHWH created humans so that we need each other, starting with the man and woman, to accomplish our task on earth.
The Bible says: I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour. For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. 1Cor3v6-9
There is therefore a person who plants or sows, and another who waters, and it is God who gives the increase.
Moses was called by YHWH to deliver the Israelites from Egyptian slavery, so he had received the power to fulfill this mission, but to bring the people into the land flowing with milk and honey (Canaan= Israel) it took someone else to do it, because Moses was a deliverer, but not a conqueror, it is that moment that Joshua comes in action, YHWH said to Joshua: Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. Joshua 1v2-3
When God calls us, He gives us the outline of our mission, we can begin to serve Him, but come to a point, God will send people in whom He has put an anointing, for watering so that He can make grow. Many servants of God stagnating in their ministry, they work well for a long time, but they realize that they go round in a circle;
they no longer advance, and sometimes are frustrated because they have not achieved their purpose, and years pass and yet God had promised them great things, some instead of praying the Lord to receive new guidelines, they look for solutions elsewhere with their own wisdom and effort, and end up choking, or turn to other gods, believing that God has abandoned them, but God has principles and it is for us to seek to know them through His divine word. Let us know that God is the Master of His work, it is He who directs all, we're only men and women in His service.
The Lord Yeshua (Jesus) has only three years of earthly ministry by planting the Gospel, but in all that time, He prepared His disciples to water the whole earth with His word, and that's Him from His throne who gives the increase the Gospel with signs and miracles in the lives of all those who have received Him as their only Lord and Saviour!
Mark 16v19-20: So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following.
Beloved! pray and ask the Lord to send you the sprinkler so that He may grow your ministry, because without the sprinkler, you will turn in circles.
Shalom! with love, Esther Maiga
