Wednesday, November 30

Make disciples of people of all the nations.—Matt. 28:19.

 

Who really is responsible for any success we have in the ministry? Paul answered that question when he wrote these words about the Corinthian congregation: “I planted, Apollos watered, but God kept making it grow, so that neither is the one who plants anything nor is the one who waters, but God who makes it grow.” (1 Cor. 3:6, 7) Like Paul, we should always give credit to Jehovah for any success enjoyed in the ministry. How can we show our appreciation for the privilege of “working together” with God, Christ, and the angels? (2 Cor. 6:1) We can do so by zealously seeking opportunities to share the good news with others. We must not only plant seeds of truth but also water them. When an individual shows interest, we want to do our best to follow up on it with a view to starting a Bible study. As the study progresses, we rejoice when we see how Jehovah works on the heart and mind of a potential disciple. w20.05 30 ¶14, 16-18

This reminds me to work on my return visits more diligently.  I am not too bad on first call but a bit shy for return visits!
