The Harvest Is Here


DATE: April 2nd, 2022

TOPIC: The Harvest Is Here

BIBLE TEXT - These were [Jesus’]instructions to them: “The harvest is so great, but the workers are so few. Pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest, and ask him to send out more workers for his fields. Go now.” - Luke 10:2-3



Jesus selected seventy of his disciples and sent them out in pairs in order to strengthen their witness and give them fellowship as they traveled. He gave them specific instructions—travel light, take no extra baggage, and be cautious because they were embarking on dangerous work—like lambs evangelizing among wolves; their preaching mission was urgent, so they were to make haste and focus on spreading the good news of the kingdom, healing the sick, and delivering the oppressed. Jesus also urged them to pray for more workers, for the harvest was great.

Those instructions still apply to us today. God doesn’t want anyone to perish; he wants all to hear the gospel and have eternal life. All over the world, fields are white for harvest. There are still many unreached people groups who need to hear the Good News. There are villages where children and parents and the elderly have never known a savior. So in the midst of whatever ministry or work we are doing, we are to pray that the Lord of the harvest will send out more laborers for his fields.




PRAYER 
LORD, raise up and send out laborers to every tribe and nation, every people group, and every unreached child. Raise up missionaries, doctors, teachers, businessmen and women, Bible translators, and musicians to share the goodness of Jesus Christ and to bring in a harvest of souls. Help me to see that the harvest is right before my eyes. Come, Lord Jesus, your harvest awaits!

INSIGHT
Thine is the seed time. God alone Beholds the end of what is sown; Beyond our vision weak and dim The Harvest time is hid with him.

THINKING GOD’S WAY

JULY 9TH – CAPSULE 9  TOPIC: THINKING GOD’S WAY  BIBLE TEXT: EPHESIANS 4VS23 – Be renewed in the spirit of your mind. How you process information and arrive at conclusions must always be subject to the will of God. Listen, “……….be made new in the attitude of your minds”. When you first start thinking Gods way, it will feel strange to you. It may even feel like a “put-on”. But it’s not. It works like this: you have to  (a). Practice being nice until you automatically become nice.  (b). Practice going to church on Sunday, until going anywhere else seems strange to you.  (c). Practice giving to God until it be comes as natural to you as shopping at the mall.  (d). Practice speaking the truth until even the smallest lie tastes bad in your mouth.  (e). Practice speaking kindness until every cynical, negative word is purged from your vocabulary. Its all a matter of practice! But you ask, “ isn’t that hypocritical – feeling one way and speaking an...

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

I Know Him

Date - January 25th, 2022 Topic - I Know Him Bible Tex t - Then [Jesus] asked them, “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”Matthew 16:15-16 How can people describe the ocean when they have not experienced it? How would they explain the waves that crash against the rocks or the shifting of the sand as the tide tugs at the shoreline? Are they able to put into words how the sand feels between their toes or describe the majesty of an endless blue horizon? Until they have taken a dip in the salty, white-frothed ocean, their descriptions would be limited. Perhaps that is why Jesus asked the disciples to define their faith in him on a personal level rather than rely on what others had to say about him. Jesus challenged them to base their definition of who he was on the reality of what they had seen, heard, and experienced about him.  Today, many stand in public platforms and attempt to define Jesus as a good man, a teach...
