Number 3

Practically, how do you still "yield fruit" in a difficult season of life?
Number 3
3. Continue to be sowing God's Word by watering and planting
1 Corinthians 3:6-9 "I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. So then, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers; you are God's field, God's building."
Press on in the Word. Be in the Word and share the Word. God's Word is supernatural. It's as simple as that! By simply meditating on it and sharing with others what God is showing you, a work of God will take place in people's hearts and minds. God's Word is a healing agent. Psalm 107:20 says, "He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions."

Matthew 28:19-20 "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
"Teaching them to observe all that I commanded you." We are not to stop teaching or sharing God's Word because things get hard! There are different seasons of life but that does not change what we are called by God to do. 2 Timothy 4:2 "Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction."

Press on in the Word! If you have found yourself without a hunger for God's Word lately set aside some serious time to get drenched in it again. A hunger for God's Word is something to be maintained. When you stop getting into it, you will stop being hungry for it...and you will stop being fruitful!
