Prepared for the Harvest: Mastery, Recognition & Access | Galatians 6:9 (NIV)
In this powerful teaching, Pastor Lionel Cole reveals how God prepares believers for harvest through instruction, discipline, development, and faithful stewardship of their gifts. Galatians 6:9 reminds us not to become weary in doing good, because there is an appointed time when what has been faithfully sown will produce a harvest.
Using the life of David and Proverbs 22:29, 1 Samuel 16:18, and Proverbs 18:16, this message highlights three stages of preparation: mastery, recognition, and access. David developed his gift privately before his name was ever spoken publicly. His skill created recognition, and that recognition eventually brought him before the king.
God may be developing something in you now that will become the very gift, vision, business, ministry, or ability He uses to open future doors. Do not despise the season of repetition, correction, discipline, or hidden preparation. What God is asking you to develop today may be what He uses to position you tomorrow.
Stay faithful. Sharpen what God has placed in your hands. Guard your faith, follow His instructions, and do not quit before the appointed time—your harvest is connected to your preparation.
