Morning by Morning, August 5 - Planting and Watering for Increase
Good morning, Lord Jesus. “King of Kings and Lord of Lords,” rule and reign in my heart and every moment of my day (Revelation 19:16). ...
“So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor. For we are God’s fellow workers...” (1 Corinthians 3:7-9).
Thank You for the honor and blessing of being one of Your workers in the harvest field of Cartagena, Colombia this past week. May every word and prayer that we were able to plant by Your grace, along with every soul that we were able to water and nurture in the power of Your love receive Your increase.
Thank You for every person who prays for us, encourages us, supports us to make this ministry possible. We couldn’t do any of this without You and without them! As the Apostle Paul said, “I thank my God every time I remember (them). In all my prayers for (them), I aways pray with joy because of (their) partnership in the Gospel...” (Philippians 1:3-5).
As I return home now, my heart is full--full of love for the people here, full of thanksgiving for all You’ve done here, full of expectation for all You will do here. Thank You for allowing me and our ministry to be a part of this reawakening for revival in Colombia, in South America, and throughout the world. “And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all nations, and then the end will come!” (Matthew 24:14).
You’re still healing the brokenhearted and setting captives free! (Isaiah 61:1; Luke 4:18) Our Father is still sending His Holy Spirit to prepare the way of the Lord in hearts of Your people and in the earth for the coming of Christ (Isaiah 40:3; Malachi 3:1; Matthew 3:3). One day soon You’ll come again in the clouds of Your glory (1 Thessalonians 4:16). And every day between this day and that day to come, You’re coming in Your glory in our hearts who are hungry for Your Presence and longing for You to display Your power and authority through Your people on this earth--a people who have the authority of the name of Jesus in their words and the character of the nature of Jesus in their hearts. For As You are, so are we to be in our world! (1 John 4:17)
Keep doing Your work in me and in us, as You do Your work through us, everywhere You’d send us throughout our world. As we plant and water, as You give the increase, “the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea!” (Habakkuk 2:14) In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Be encouraged today. In the love of Jesus, Tommy Hays
My friend, may your heart be full as the Lord works through you--whether planting or watering, coming or going, praying or encouraging, supporting or strengthening, as God gives the increase, in Jesus' name. Amen. God bless you, my friend! And you have a great day!
