The Harvest Is Here

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.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

DO TI NOW

May 11th – Capsule 11 TOPIC : DO IT NOW BIBLE TEXT : Redeeming the time, because the days are evil – Ephesians 5 vs. 16 How many times have you said, “I will do it tomorrow?” sometimes you put somethings off because you don’t think you know enough, can’t do it well enough. The fact is, there is no magic age at which excellence emerges and quality suddenly surfaces. Thomas Jefferson was 33 when he drafted the Declaration of Independence. Charles Dickens was 24 when he began his Pickwick Papers, and 25 when he wrote Oliver Twist. Newton was 24 when he formulated The Law of Gravity. A second danger is to think that creativity and invention belong to the young. Not so! Emmanuel Kant wrote his finest philosophical work at age 74. Verdi at 80 produced crossing the Bar, and Michelangelo completed his greatest work at 87, Moses was 80 when he led God’s people out of Egypt and 120 when he got to Canaan. Seize the day! Redeem the new moments of your life. Because the time and age ...
