God Gives the Increase

"So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.” – 1 Corinthians 3:7 NKJV

Reflection
We serve as vessels in God’s work, planting seeds and watering faithfully, but He alone produces growth. Pride tempts us to take credit, yet true ministry points to Him. When we stay submitted to His Spirit, every effort bears eternal fruit—not by our power, but by His increase and grace at work through us.

Application
Reflect on areas where you need to release results to God.
Give Him glory for any fruit produced through your service.
Pray for humility to remain a vessel pointing to Him alone.

Connection
Thank You, Lord, for giving the increase in every seed planted. Keep me humble and faithful, always pointing glory back to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
