Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Those are the instructions they put on the back of the shampoo bottle. Does anyone actually need instructions for using shampoo? I don’t think so. There are some things that are so basic, they don’t need explaining.

Here’s another one. How to grow food. Farming 101. “Agriculture for
Dummies,” if you will. Are you ready for the detailed instructions? Here they are:

Sow. Water. Reap.

That’s it. When you boil it down to the basics, that’s all you have to do to grow a crop.

Now, I know there are lots of other factors to farming—weather, bugs, soil, and whatnot. I don’t mean to say that the job of a farmer is easy. (All you angry farmers can put down your pitchforks.) But no matter where you are on earth, the essentials for growing food are the same: you put a seed in the ground, you water it, God causes it to grow, and when it’s ready, you harvest it.

The same is true spiritually. Both Jesus and the apostle Paul used this farming analogy to describe evangelism (see John 4 and 1 Corinthians 3). If we want to grow a crop of Christians, so to speak—if we want to see people brought into God’s kingdom—then this is our strategy:

Sow. Water. Reap.

In this book, I want to explain what that means. I also want to show you what it looks like in real life. Download the free E-book "Let the Lord Use You" by clicking below.
