Haggai 1:6-11
You have planted much but harvested little. You eat but never have enough to be satisfied. You drink but never have enough to be happy. You put on clothes but never have enough to get warm. The wage earner puts his wages into a bag with a hole in it.”The LORD of Armies says this:“ Think carefully about your ways.Go up into the hills, bring down lumber, and build the house; and I will be pleased with it and be glorified,” says the LORD.“ You expected much, but then it amounted to little. When you brought the harvest to your house, I ruined it. Why?” This is the declaration of the LORD of Armies.“ Because my house still lies in ruins, while each of you is busy with his own house.So on your account, the skies have withheld the dew and the land its crops.I have summoned a drought on the fields and the hills, on the grain, new wine, fresh oil, and whatever the ground yields, on people and animals, and on all that your hands produce.”

But now, I will not treat the remnant of this people as in the former days”— this is the declaration of the LORD of Armies.“ For they will sow in peace: the vine will yield its fruit, the land will yield its produce, and the skies will yield their dew. I will give the remnant of this people all these things as an inheritance.

John 4:36-38
The reaper is already receiving pay and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that the sower and reaper can rejoice together.For in this case the saying is true:‘ One sows and another reaps.’I sent you to reap what you didn’t labor for; others have labored, and you have benefited from their labor.”
-
Haggai 2:17-19
I struck you— all the work of your hands— with blight, mildew, and hail, but you didn’t turn to me— this is the LORD’s declaration.From this day on, think carefully; from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid; think carefully.Is there still seed left in the granary? The vine, the fig, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yet produced. But from this day on I will bless you.”

1 Corinthians 3 5-1 Corinthians 3 7
What then is Apollos? What is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given.I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.So, then, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.

Mark 4:26-29
“ The kingdom of God is like this,” he said.“ A man scatters seed on the ground.He sleeps and rises night and day; the seed sprouts and grows, although he doesn’t know how.The soil produces a crop by itself— first the blade, then the head, and then the full grain on the head.As soon as the crop is ready, he sends for the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
