Blessed message delivered by Revd J W Joel Ashirwadam at CSI Christ Church, NGGO Colony, Coimbatore on 1st October 2026:
🌱 IT’S TIME TO PLANT!
📖 Galatians 6:7–10 | Mark 4:1–20 | Ecclesiastes 11:1–6
As we begin a new month, God reminds us that every season is an opportunity to sow. We are constantly planting through our words, choices, habits, relationships, prayers, generosity, and service. The important question is not whether we are planting, but what are we planting?
🌾 1. Plant With Purpose
“Whatever one sows, that will he also reap.” (Gal. 6:7)
Our choices have consequences. Let us sow righteousness, prayer, love, forgiveness, obedience, and faith rather than the things of the flesh.
🌱 2. Choose the Right Soil
Jesus' Parable of the Sower (Mark 4) reminds us that the same seed can produce different results depending on the soil. Let our hearts be good soil that receives God's Word, holds onto it, and produces fruit.
⏳ 3. Persevere While Waiting
“Let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” (Gal. 6:9)
We may not see immediate results, but hidden beneath the soil, God may already be working. Keep planting. Keep praying. Keep serving. Keep trusting.
🤲 “Let us do good to everyone.” (Gal. 6:10)
This new month gives us fresh opportunities to encourage someone, forgive someone, help someone, serve faithfully, and share the Gospel.
✝️ Our hope is not in how perfectly we plant. We have all fallen short. Our hope is in Jesus Christ, who died for our sins and rose again. We don't do good works to earn salvation; we sow because Christ has already saved us by grace.
🌾 This October, plant prayer. Plant God's Word. Plant kindness. Plant generosity. Plant holiness. Plant the Gospel.
You cannot control the timing of the harvest, but by God's grace you can choose the seed you plant today.
🙏 May the Lord strengthen you to sow faithfully, give you patience while you wait, and bring forth a harvest that glorifies His name.
🌱 It’s a new month. It’s a new opportunity. It’s time to plant!
