“So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.”
1 Corinthians 3:7 KJV
Paul’s revelation was that if all he succeeded to do was to attach others to him as individuals, then he has failed them; the one who plants is not more important than the one who waters; it is not about any church or denomination or ministry, but it is about us realising God’s work within us. The authentic ministry’s one objective is to reveal Christ in us! It is about discovering the full extent of our own salvation: it is God working in us both to will and to do! This “working out our own salvation” has nothing in common with the guilt, willpower-restricted law of works system. It is discovering His working in us, energising us with both the desire and the capacity to give expression to Him. Let’s surrender ourselves to Him to give us the increase to work in and through us! Amen!
