Harvesting for the Kingdom of God
The duty of all Christians is to evangelize. To preach the Gospel. The preachers equip the saints. To call all men to submit to God. They can be saved if they receive the Gospel. The harvest is great but the laborers are few.
We are harvesting men for the kingdom of God. Many people will believe the Gospel V2. Luke 4:18
1. Indispensable need of prayer (V2) – therefore pray the Lord of the harvest send out laborers. Gods power is unleashed through prayer. James 5:16 , Ephesians 6, in all prayer and all supplication, Acts 6:4, Acts 22.
2. We will have tribulation Phil 1:29 Be on guard for false teachers. (V3)
3. The steadfast focus – The priority is the Gospel – do not let the world eat up your time.
4. The Spirit if contentment. (V4) – 1 Corinth 9:11,14 – don’t get caught up in making money or the praise of men or a comfortable lifestyle.. 1 Phil 4:11-12
1 Corinthians 9:11 (NKJV) If we have sown spiritual things for you, [is it] a great thing if we reap your material things?
1 Corinthians 9:14 (NKJV) Even so the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should live from the gospel.
“Then He said to them, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”
