Those who sow in
tears shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed
for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves
with him Psalm 126 verses 5 to 6 NKJV
Consistent seed planting activates and ensures consistent harvests. However, every planted seed on good soils require watering irrespective of how great the soils are and the quality of the seeds are. Planting cannot stand alone. It must be watered. Besides, God expects you to be an active participant in His processes concerning you. Your active participation is the watering process.

To water is to nurture, care for, and protect to
develop the seeds while they are growing. When you plant a seed, you do not sit
down to wait for it to germinate and bear fruit without doing anything. You
have to care for it – Luke Chapter 8 verse 15, Proverbs Chapter 24 verses 24 to
30, and Isaiah Chapter 5 verses 1 to 7. Some of such watering programs include but are
not limited to:
Prayer – accompany your planted seed with fervent
prayers for the will of God to be done in your land – Zechariah Chapter 8 verse
12, Isaiah Chapter 30 verse 23. Consistent praying will dislodge every
opposition to your harvests.
Understanding of the word of God – inadequate or
complete lack of understanding of the word of God can impact your harvests
negatively as you may be tempted to believe the lie of the enemy that God will
not bless your seed to prosper and produce bumper harvests. However, opportunities
increase as your understanding of the Word increases and this brings about productivity
and fruitfulness, a function of your understanding of the word of God. Make a
conscious effort to understand the word of God. You can ask the Holy Spirit to
help you – Psalm 119 verse 144.
