GOD ALONE BRINGS INCREASE

I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
1 Corinthians 3:6 KJV

No matter how hard you struggle or hard you labour know that you cannot bring increase on your effort. Our opening scripture told us how Paul and Apollos labour so hard for the gospel but Paul crowned it all up that without the hand of God on what we are doing then we are just wasting and making jest of ourselves. Paul said I do the planting and Apollo do the watering he said but God bring the increase meaning there would be no increase without God.

This was why scriptures said in Zachariah 4:6 that not by power nor by might he said but by the Spirit meaning the whole effort, energy, might and power you involving in what you do is meaningless without the help of the Holyspirit.

I am not trying to get your mind out of putting effort in that which you do because the Bible said see a man diligent in his work he shall stand before kings and not mean men so it is expedient you labour but this is what you must know labour with God as your back up then you would begin to see tremendous results in your live.
