READ MARK CHAPTER 4 TODAY!
Today's Blog is specific to the area of your leadership and your DREAM!
We are all leaders in some way, shape or form.
I strongly encourage ministry leaders to soak in today's devotional.
Whether you are in women's ministry, a speaking ministry, writer, worship team, prayer team or teacher/facilitator of studies you are a person of INFLUENCE in the church.
Whether you are a father, mother, boss or grandparent you are a person of INFLUENCE.
In Mark chapter 4 of today's reading... I want to ask you, WHO WAS THE SOWER IN JESUS' PARABLE?
The sower is the person of influence, a leader, anyone who declares Gods word.
The sower scatters a lot of seed, and later determines the character of the soil.
I would like to share some principles that I believe ALL LEADERS need to know about sowing seed!
Maybe this will be a great resource in your next leadership meeting.
After you read the 7 principles, I will apply how this may look in your church ministry.
SOWING SEEDS
1. A lot of SEED must be scattered to produce a crop
2. Not all soils produce, but we cannot reap if we do not sow
3. We must continue sowing because one day we will reap a harvest
4. The soil that produces will multiply, we will always reap more then we sow
5. WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT LAST YEARS
HARVEST, BUT WE CAN ABOUT THIS YEARS HARVEST
6. We must BELIEVE in the seed we sow, knowing that some will produce fruit
7. Once we see fruit, all our effort through Christ seems worthwhile
In your ministry or calling it is important to stay filled up with faith and Believe in what God has called you to do.
Even on a cold snowy day(like in Michigan) in which only a few ladies may have shown up for your bible class, PLEASE continue to BELIEVE in the seed God has given you for that day.
If you are leading worship and it seems like the same song but different day, remember the words of the song are SEEDS that you must believe in that day.
A SEED is an area of ministry or in which God is or may be calling you forward to.
Ministry to your children, church team, job or spouse.
God observes all the ministries and activities.
He then produces visions and ideas in the heart of men and women to prepare for a particular seed that will cultivate and produce fruit for that ministry in its season.
Your ministry is always cultivating, planting and harvesting in the season and or cycle of what God is doing in that church, your family or particular relationship.
Even on a bad day God is preparing and perfecting you. He is developing your character, creating space you need for the person that God created you to be and along the way, He's putting you in position to make Him look greater than ever before.
KEEP SOWING IN ALL SEASONS!
BLESSINGS,
