The Harvest

Matthew 9:37 -Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few".

The period during harvest is not the time for sleeping. It is time for work. (Proverbs 10:5) says, "He who gathers crops in summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son". There is a big farm, ripe for harvesting, for all of us to work in, and the question is," Are you ready to harvest the produce?" Just think of a large farm that is ripe for harvesting and without enough  workers. what do you think will happen to the produce in the farm?

Jesus's heart was full of compassion when He saw the multitudes without a sheperd.

Matthew 9:35-Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few".

Today’s dying world can be compared to a large plantation ripe for harvest, but without workers. Every second somebody somewhere dies without getting the chance to hear the good news about Jesus Christ. This ungodly world is passing away swiftly along with everything in it, but those who believe in Jesus Christ will abide forever. Heaven is real, and so is Hell. Without heaven there will be no hell and only those who have washed their robes in the blood of the lamb will enter the gates of heaven.

Charles H Spurgeon on the way to heaven : Revelation 7:13-14

“All those in heaven were sinners, for they all needed to wash their robes. No superfluity would have been written down in the bible; but had the robes been perfectly white, there had been no necessity to cleanse them, certainly not to cleanse them in Jesus’ blood. They were sinners, then, those glorious ones were sinners like ourselves. Look up at them now! Observe their ravishing beauty! See how faultless they are! And then, remember what they were. Oh, ye trembling sinners, whose bruised hearts dare not indulge a hope of divine favour, those fair ones were once like you, and you are today what they were once. They were all sharpen in iniquity, as you were; they were everyone of them of woman born, and therefore, conceived in sin. They were all placed in circumstances which allured them to sin: they had their temptations… and they lived in the midst of an ungodly generation, even as you do. What is more, they all sinned, for mere temptations would not have soiled their robes, but actual sin defiled them. There were thoughts of sin, there were words of sin, there were acts of sin in all of them. They washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Not one of them became white through his tears of repentance, not one through the shedding of the blood of bulls or of goats. They all wanted a vicarious sacrifice( i.e., one in their place) and for none of them was any sacrifice effectual, except the death of Jesus Christ the Lord. They washed their robes nowhere but in the blood of the Lamb. O sinner, that blood of the Lamb is available now. The fountain filled with blood, drawn from Immanuel’s veins, is not closed, nor is its efficacy diminished. Every child of Adam now in heaven came there through the blood of the great substitute. This was the key that opened heaven’s door- the blood, the blood of the Lamb, without exceptions. If I were in thy case, O sinner, God helping me, I would trust in the blood as they did, and enter heaven as they have done.

Let us understand that no amount of sin of which we may have been guilty ought to lead us to despair of pardon, salvation and ultimate entrance into heaven, if we also wash our robes in the blood of the Lamb. Those who are in heaven have washed their robes white by faith in Jesus, and so may we. By an act of faith cast yourselves upon God in Christ Jesus. If you do so, you shall take your place among the white robed bands when this life ends’.

Jesus’Command;Our Prayer: Matthew 9:36- Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field." We are to pray every day to God requesting for more workers to be added unto the harvest field.

Matthew 28:18-20- Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

All we need to do, is to GO!! Tell someone GO and make disciples today!!
