For a number of years I raised tomatoes and other vegetables in my two above gardens. Those gardens have been productive and profitable.
I used to order my tomato seed from Tomato Growers in Fort Myers, Florida. They are healthy plants that come up in small containers where I planted the seeds which I would transplant in my garden when the weather was just right.
I like to purchase breakfast biscuits from the Dairy Queen in Winder, GA. It is a know fact, that this Dairy Queen is the number of one in the nation. Mr. Robert Waters is the owner. I had bragged on the tomatoes I was growing. He didn't believe my stories. So, one day I took several tomatoes to his place of business and had him weigh the largest tomato. As I recall, it weighed 21.5 ounces. Well, he became a believer.
He said, "Mr. Morgan, I will buy your biscuit today for this tomato." I had not planned to tell him what I said to him, but it just came up in my mind from my spirit. I said, "Mr. Waters, this is a Gospel tomato. You cannot not purchase it. It is not for sale. It is a gift from me to you. All you have to do is to receive it as a gift. Like the Gospel of Jesus Christ you cannot earn it or pay for it. It is a gift from God to you and me if we will receive Jesus Christ as our personal Savior and Lord.
Of course, his whole staff and many of his customers were listening to this witness for my blessed Lord. I preached a sermon using a heirloom tomato.
Mr. Waters did receive this large tomato as well as others I brought him that day.
What I was able to do in sharing about the Gospel tomato, several years ago, you can do as well. God has created you and made you unique. You have an imagination and ability to tell others what Jesus means to you. Let's be witnesses for Jesus Christ.
