Topic:
The Harvest Truly Is Great
Text:
Luke 10:2
There is no unemployment in the
Christian service as every Christian has a gift and a call to perform. God has
enough work for everyone. Don’t just sit back and watch others work; look for
ways to help with the harvest. Jesus asserts that the harvest is great and
decided to send 35 teams of 2 evangelists each. He urged
them to pray to the Lord of harvest to send labourers into His vineyard.
This Luke 10:2 has some lessons for
us.
1) The first step towards evangelism is to start praying about
it. Jesus teaches us here the imperative of prayer in evangelism. You cannot
win a soul you don’t love and have not prayed for. This demands that if you
want to win any particular person for Christ, you should start by praying for
the person before you go to preach to him or her.
2) It reveals the magnitude of
unbelievers around us. Beloved, take a look into your street, your school, the
market where you go for shopping, etc, and how many of them are really born
again? What of the church where you worship? How many members of the church
where you worship live as true Christians outside the church on weekdays? You
will find out they are negligible few. This shows that we have enormous work on
evangelism facing us.
3) This story reveals that we have
few people who are willing to go out on evangelism. In your church, how many
people come out for evangelism? Do you go on evangelism as an individual or as
a group in your church? God is looking for people who will go out there where
sinners are and not people who will wait for sinner to come them. Are you
determined to do something for God? Start now.
Action: Today, pray
for the unsaved people and pray also that God will raise other concerned
disciples to join in reaching out to the unbelievers. Share the gospel message
as you go out.
Memory
