Sharing the Gospel and bringing others to Jesus is a joint time of rejoicing. 

John 4:36

“And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.” John 4:36

The wages of living for the Gospel of Jesus Christ is eternal life. When a person is reconciled to God by the remission of sin through Jesus those are fruits gathered for eternal life. The person who plants the seed of the testimony of Jesus and those who brings a person to Christ after the seed is planted both rejoice together. The sower of the Gospel seed, those who reap the fruit of that seed, and those who are reaped all receive eternal life. We share the Good News, and another person brings a person to Christ when they are ready. All three receive eternal life, those who share the Gospel, those who brings others to Christ, and the saved person.

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23

Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness,
Sowing in the noontide and the dewy eve;
Waiting for the harvest, and the time of reaping,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

Sowing in the sunshine, sowing in the shadows,
Fearing neither clouds nor winter’s chilling breeze;
By and by the harvest, and the labor ended,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

Going forth with weeping, sowing for the Master,
Though the loss sustained our spirit often grieves;
When our weeping’s over, He will bid us welcome,
We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

Today, people in every city around the world live by the non-spiritual thing which gives them what to think, feel, do, and say. They are allowing the image of the beast to live and speak through them according to the thoughts and feelings given to them. By what they say and do, they detest the Spirit and makes it their practice to take away the rejoicing of planting the Gospel of Christ as well as taking away the rejoicing of confessing Jesus as Lord and Savior. They are conformed to the anti-Christian global culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.

We can assess that reaping from spiritual rewards is a time of rejoicing for the one who sows and the one who reaps. The one who sows to the Spirit rejoices together with the one who reaps the soul which blossoms in the Spirit. The diagnosis is that people in every city around the world fights against the Spirit to take away the rejoicing which comes from coming to God through Jesus Christ. We plan to work together with those who plant the Gospel Seed and those who bring others to Salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. We implement that plan by being glad for those who share the testimony of Jesus as well as being glad for those who have the privilege of seeing people blossom in Christ. We know that plan is successful when we realize the equal importance of those who plant the seed but see no visible results as well as see the importance of those who see people confess Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
