Welcome to your year of harvest as the seeds you've sown are about to spring up for a double blessing.
Matthew 13:3 - "Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed."
As a Christian entrepreneur, I’ve walked through seasons where I’ve paced back and forth, waiting for my business—my garden—to yield a harvest, only to be met with barren ground. I’ve felt the frustration, doubt, and temptation to give up. Perhaps you’ve been there too, wondering if the seeds you’ve scattered were ever going to sprout.
"As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up." - Matthew 13:4
Let me ask you: Have you scattered any seeds for your business yet? As we step into 2025, this is the time to reflect on what seeds you’ve sown and where you’ve planted them. Seeds, by design, are units of reproduction—their purpose is to multiply. When planted in the right soil, they have the potential to yield a harvest far greater than what was sown.
Recently, I’ve found myself drawn to gardening. Learning about soil types, fertilizers, and the unique care that different plants require has opened my eyes to the parallels between tending a garden and growing a business. Each soil type holds specific nutrients and benefits, just as our businesses thrive on the unique environments we cultivate for them.
In Matthew 13, the parable of the sower reveals timeless wisdom for entrepreneurs seeking to sow better seeds for their businesses. Here are some key takeaways:
1. Determine Where You Are Planting
"Some seeds were planted along the road, and birds came and devoured them." - Matthew 13:4
Are your seeds in the right place to reproduce? Your surroundings matter. Think about where you’re sharing your message and marketing your business. Are you posting content on platforms that resonate with your ideal audience, or are you scattering seeds along the “road,” where they’re quickly overlooked or devoured by distractions?
To thrive, your business’s content must be strategically placed where it can take root and grow. Consider your platforms carefully—each post, email, and conversation is a seed with the potential to yield a harvest when planted in fertile ground.
2. Assess the Soil of Your Business
"Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow." - Matthew 13:5
Every business is like soil, and the quality of that soil determines how much it can reproduce. Some soils are shallow, unable to sustain growth, while others are rich and deep, capable of producing a harvest a hundredfold.
Ask yourself: What kind of soil is my business? Are you creating an environment where your customers feel valued, inspired, and encouraged to return and plant more seeds? For service- and product-based businesses, nurturing relationships and delivering exceptional value is essential to transforming your soil into a fertile field.
3. Cultivate the Sower’s Mindset
The sower’s mindset sees every investment—time, money, effort—as a seed. Whether you’re supporting another business, exploring a new idea, or launching a product, view these actions as opportunities for multiplication. Expect a harvest! Approach every season with faith that your seeds will bring forth fruit in God’s perfect timing.
