We will not be few
"Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few - Mat 9:37
More than ever before we have to take up the responsibility of reaching out to the lost. The scripture is very clear about the state of this present world. The harvest is ripe but the labourers who should be bringing in this harvest are few.
Men are the ones who are sent to do this assignment and we have to wake up to this call. We have been saved to also bring in those who are lost in the world. The god of this world is working tirelessly to advance his kingdom by ensuring the light of the Gospel is hidden from the eye and mind of men.
"In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them - 2Co 4:4
As children of God we have to see to it that God's will is established upon the earth,one of the assignment Jesus gave us before leaving is to go into the world and preach the goodnews. The good news is what Christ has done for us in His death, burial, resurrection and ascension. All these He did to deal permanently with sin and it's consequences.
This preaching of the goodnews is not limited to those called to be pastors,Bishop,Pop and the likes,it's not even to those with the gift of an evangelist alone,it's is for all who call themselves believers,those who are saved. And there is a need for us to move out and not sit in our comfort zone.
"And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature - Mar 16:15
We are to start from our immediate environment,before going into other places. I want us to understand that the devil is enlisting and recruiting more hands in this end time to carry out his agenda. There is power in number as it helps to network and spread influence.
These people go all out to promote the devils agenda... We as believers too need to go all out in our number to tell what Christ has done for the whole world and that is more reason why we need not to be few.
More labourers are needed to accomplish this task,the question I should ask at this point is am I really doing this assignment? am I really talking about what Jesus has done for me and for the world?
Am I talking about God's love for the sinners? Am I spreading the message of hope instead of condemnation? Am I advancing the course of the kingdom?
These and many more are the questions we should ask ourselves daily as more labourers are needed to bring in the harvest. If we turn out in our numbers and take up this responsibility then we will indeed not be few.
We we dominate and depopulate the kingdom of darkness.
