Moment of Realities
Topic -: The God of the harvest. Pt17
Monday, August 24th.
Apostle O. Isaac
So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send out more workers for his fields." (NLT) (Matthew 9:38).
Through the eternal sacrifice of the cross of Christ, God has made salvation available to the whole of humanity. The sin penalty hanging on the whole of humanity has been paid for, through the shed blood of Jesus. Meaning, God is not angry with man on the account of sin. The sin of the whole of humanity has been forgiven but not everyone is saved yet. This is why the Lord in charge of the harvest has requested to send more workers into the harvest field.
Take note: everyone in Christ ought to be a worker in the harvest field of God. But not everyone has made themselves available for the use of God for soul winning. God designed our place of influence as our beginning place of soul winning. Here comes the eternal request of God to the saints of the Lord Jesus. Isaiah 6:8 says, "Then I heard the Lord asking, "Whom should I send as a messenger to my people? Who will go for us?" And I said, "Lord, I'll go! Send me."
The Lord of the harvest of souls in the world of science and technology is in need of workers (believers) to send to unsaved souls who are in the world of science and technology. The call of God for workers goes across all endeavors of men. God is in need of workers. This will lead us to considering the role of believers in soul winning. It's important to know that, salvation was obtained by the man Jesus Christ. In the same light, the announcement of salvation to unsaved men is the sole responsibility of saved men.
Galatians 3:19 says, "Well then, why was the law given? It was given to show people how guilty they are. But this system of law was to last only until the coming of the child to whom God's promise was made. And there is this further difference. God gave his laws to angels to give to Moses, who was the mediator between God and the people." The law of Moses was delivered to Moses through the hands of an angel. But when it comes to the announcement of eternal salvation; God is dependent on saved men for the announcement of eternal salvation.
Yes, God is dependent on saved men to announce the gospel of Christ to unsaved men. It's important to know that, right from the beginning when God created the heaven and the earth; there is no place in the Bible where God created any other thing by his direct spoken word. The moment God created man, God made man to be his spoke personnel. This will tell you why God is so much in need of workers in the field of his harvest. In the next part of these series, we will look at how saved men are instructed to carry out the work of soul winning.
Scriptures for meditation for today: Matthew 28:19-20 and John 3:16.
PRAYER
Father in the name of Jesus, I submit my will to the leading of the Holy Spirit to your harvest field. I declare that your word in my mouth is producing the required result. Souls are saved anytime that I preach the gospel of Christ. My life is decorated with glory and honor. Amen.
