Have you given thought to the lessons the Father is teaching you, and how, in time, you will share those lessons (testimonies) with others? Essentially, your teachable spirit will have made a way for the Lord to reach others. The facts are simply this. No good thing is wasted in the kingdom of God.
As I ponder this question I am doing so from a place of self-examination. I am looking at my own life and seeing how the things that God has taught me are the same things that He has me share with others. He makes it personal with me, and then allows me to use it to bring Him glory. It is always about the Lord. Sowing into others from that which has been sown into us.
I have to believe that Isaiah 55:10-11 is a favorite Scripture for many of us. It is about sowing and reaping.
Verse 10 says, “For as the rain and snow come down from heaven, and do not return there without watering the earth, making it bear and sprout, providing seed to the sower and bread to the eater.”
Meaning the seed we need to sow comes to us from heaven. It is not of this earth, but it is supernatural with the ability to change and transform the lives of people. Such is the power of God’s seed.
Verse 11 says, “So will My word be which goes out from My mouth; it will not return to Me void (useless, without result), without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.
Meaning that God’s seed, His word, will not fall to the ground, but will reap all that He desires.
If we return to the beginning of this message we see how God works in us, through the sowing of His word, to change and transform us, so that we can then use that same seed to bring forth a harvest, a reaping, in others. Essentially, we sow, we reap, and we repeat! This is how the kingdom advances and how we get to be used by God to bring success to others, forever mindful that it is God working through us to accomplish His good pleasure.
2 Corinthians 9:10-13 Now He who provides seed for the sower and bread for food will provide and multiply your seed for sowing (that is, your resources) and increase the harvest of your righteousness (which shows itself in active goodness, kindness, and love). You will be enriched in every way so that you may be generous, and this (generosity, administered) through us is producing thanksgiving to God (from those who benefit). For the ministry of this service (offering) is not only supplying the needs of the saints (God’s people), but is also overflowing through many expressions of thanksgiving to God. Because of this act of ministry, they will glorify God for your obedience to the gospel of Christ which you confess, as well as for your generous participation (in this gift) for them and for all (the other believers in need).
