Proverbs 10:21 says “The lips of the righteous feed many."
The LORD saved us for His purpose and told us that His purpose is that we be fruitful in relationship with Him and therefore in making Him known to others (Jn. 15:1-16). Getting God’s Word in the hearts of others is the calling He gave you to make Him know – “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel …” (Mk. 16:15)
No feeding, no fruitfulness in ministry or making Him known to others. The seed of His Word must be planted in the hearts of men and God’s children are the only ones who can do this (Mk. 16:15; Lk. 8:5, 11; Rom. 10:14; 2 Cor. 5:17-20; Rev. 22:17). God’s words are divinely charged. They are inherently empowered by His Spirit (Jn. 6:63; Rom. 1:16; 10:17). He needs no help with the “incorruptible seed” of His Word, only finding those who will serve Him and sow His Word in the hearts of lost souls (1 Pet. 1:23). When that is done, He takes over (Isa. 55:11; 1 Cor. 3:6-9).
Planting His words in the hearts of men is a command so there is no need to pray about whether we should do such. We should pray and lay down our lives, asking Him to empower us to do exactly and specifically what He clearly commanded of us in His holy Word.
