Read 1 John 2:15-16. Where does the desire of your flesh come from?

Day 1 – PLANT SOME SEEDS

God uses the analogy of a harvest to explain how spreading the gospel works. He creates the land and provides the sun, rain, and nutrients in the soil. A seed can’t grow without Him, but He uses the farmers to plant the seed. Just like God creates the land, He creates the person who needs Him. He provides the resources for salvation but He uses man to plant the seed. God will grow the plant to maturity and will bring people into a relationship with Him.

Many people in Haiti rely on Voodoo to help them. When the massive earthquake happened, many of the people turned from Voodoo to Christ because the people who rushed into the country to help them were followers of Christ. There were many people who believed in Jesus because servant-hearted people, motivated by Christ’s love, allowed God to open the door for the gospel through service.
