It doesn't take the kind of effort we usually think of to sow the seeds of God's Word in other people. But it does take submission, the master of self (as Crown Incorruptible shows), to sit down, study God's Word from Genesis to Revelation, and stay on that task the rest of our lives. Why? That way, the Holy Spirit will have all that He spoke in the Scripture to work with when He gives you remembrance of everything Jesus said. Then, at the key moment, the Spirit of Christ will speak that one essential word that someone needs to hear to rescue them from the brink, the forgiveness of sins. You may not see when it happens, you may get no credit in this life for all the seeds that you've sown. But Jesus Christ knows all of them. And He alone gives the gain for faith. So make sure you are reading God's Word so He can use you to sow every seed He needs in other's lives.
