Welcome

 

Dear partners and friends,

 

Hi from an undisclosed location! We are having meetings every day and teaching the Lord's people His gracious Words of love. The people are very hungry for the truth, so it is a joy to be among those who love the Lord and His Word. So far we have distributed more than 150 copies of my meditation books in this nation, and more than 50 copies last month in Papua New Guinea.

 

This month we have included a review of 2011. Thank you to all those who have partnered with me spiritually, emotionally and physically this past year. I am grateful for your contribution. The fruits of the ministry are also credited to your eternal account.

 

I believe this ministry is going to increase exceedingly and bear much more fruit in many nations! I am excited at what God is doing by His Spirit. As we fellowship with the Lord through meditation of His Word, and sensitivity to His Spirit, we will move in His perfect will. I am honoured to be your co-labourer in the Lord's kingdom.

 

With love, Andrew

Teaching - Have you put God to Work?

I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase

1 Corinthians 3:6

Are you looking for more of God's power in your life? Do you want God to give you an increase? The Scripture is very clear that as we plant and water the Word of God in our hearts (or other's hearts) God will give increase.

The context of this passage is planting and watering the seed of God's Word in the human heart. The principles of this passage are true whether we plant and water in someone else's heart, or our own heart. The increase which God gives is the fruit of the particular seed that is being planted and watered. The fruit is the manifestation of the spiritual seed into our natural world - into your life. For example; if you plant and water scriptural, healing seed in your heart the fruit would be the manifestation of physical healing in your body.

The Scripture is very clear - God will give increase!

So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth increase

1 Corinthians 3:7

We are simply labourers. Our labour is to plant and water spiritual seed. We plant and water spiritual seeds in our own heart through the process of meditation. Meditation: speaks God's promises out loud, studies God's promises, and imagines receiving, or walking, in the manifestation of God's promises. You do not have to be great or special to meditate. Anybody can plant and water God's Word in their heart. The great aspect is that when we plant and water God's Word, God will give increase - God will cause His Word to grow and produce in our lives.

Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour

1 Corinthians 3:8

There is a labour in the kingdom of God - planting and watering God's Word. Without labouring in God's Word we will not receive the fruit of God's kingdom. Jesus said; so is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground (Mark 4:26). The kingdom of God is a spiritual kingdom which responds to the laws of sowing and reaping. In the kingdom of God we sow spiritual seeds - God's Word (Mark 4:14) into spiritual ground - human hearts (Mark 4:15). This is the primary labour of the kingdom of God. There is both temporal and eternal reward for those who labour spiritually with God's Word. The temporal reward is the manifestation of God's promises in this world which improves the quality of our lives. The eternal reward will be eternal treasures in heaven, because we have with love, faith and obedience done the work of the Father in this world. The Father's work is to grow His seeds in our hearts.

For we are labourers together with God; ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building

1 Corinthians 3:9

We need to understand our respective responsibilities and work duties. Our job is to plant and water God's Word; first in our own hearts and then in the hearts of others (2 Corinthians 5:18). God's work is to bring increase to the seed which we have sown and watered. If we neglect to plant and water, God will not be able to bring increase. God is waiting for the seed to be sown so He can bring increase to that seed. Many Christians are praying and praying, begging God to bring His power into their lives. They would be better served to use their time planting and watering God's promises in their hearts; then they would find God's power will increase automatically in their lives. God does not lie when He says, "He will bring the increase!"

The word 'husbandry' means farm (Strong's Dictionary). We are God's farm! A farm is meant to produce fruit. However, no fruit is ever produced without seed. The primary work of the Christian is to produce fruit, which will come as we plant and water God's seed / Word in our heart (Mark 4:20).

The question I have for you this month is: have you put God to work in your life? Have you planted and watered spiritual seeds in your heart so that God can work in your life and bring His increase? God wants to bless you more! The Lord… hath pleasure in the prosperity of His servant (Psalm 35:27). He is, however, waiting for you to do your part - plant and water His spiritual seed in your heart.

Pray with me; "Father God, thank you that you are faithful to bring increase into my life when I diligently plant and water your spiritual seed / promises in my heart. Please strengthen me to meditate your spiritual seeds every day and night (Joshua 1:8, Psalms 1:2). Thank you that the time I spend meditating your seed will bring me great reward; both in this life with the manifestation of your power to improve my life, and also eternal treasures in heaven. Please increase my revelation knowledge so I have the faith to understand the principles of your kingdom; in Jesus Christ name, Amen. "
