A GLOBAL HARVEST
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature (Mark 16:15).
We’ve learnt in our last two studies that God has a definite number of souls that must be won before the return of the Master. There’s a divine urgency in the Spirit to gather the harvest. Who knows when that last person will believe? The time is drawing near, and we must preach the Gospel around the world with greater fervency and conviction than ever before.
We must reach every soul; the mandate is to reach them all. Romans 11:25 AMPC talks about “...the full number of the ingathering of the Gentiles...”; this is more than people merely hearing the Gospel; it’s about bringing in the harvest, leading people to a personal decision to accept Christ as their Lord and Savior.
We’re in the season of the greatest harvest the world has ever seen. The most exciting time for a farmer is harvest time, and spiritually, this is our harvest time. Souls are being won all over the world and it’s happening fast; the Holy Spirit is moving mightily.
If you’ve not been passionately involved in soul winning, it’s time to realign your priorities; get busy with soul winning. You’d discover now, more than ever, it’s easy to win souls. The Holy Spirit is doing the work. All you need to do is open your mouth, and He will fill it with the right words. The power of God will flow through you to your listeners, and they will hear the Word, believe and be saved. These are exciting times!
The fields are ripe for harvest, and as the labourers, we must be diligent. It’s part of the reasons we’re taking active and daring steps to make sure everyone on earth receives God’s Word during the upcoming ReachOut World Day on December 2nd 2024. Make sure to join us in spreading the transformative message of God's love to every corner of the globe through the distribution of Rhapsody of Realities.
The time is now; reach out to those around you and be bold in sharing the Gospel with them. The ingathering is happening, and we must be part of this divine mandate to cover the earth with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. Let’s reach them all and bring them into the Kingdom.
PRAYER: Dear Father, thank you for the privilege of being colabourers with you in this great harvest as Christians all over the world are filled with the urgency, boldness and wisdom to reach out to the lost and bring them into the Kingdom. The Holy Spirit grants us the strategies to share the Gospel effectively for them to know the truth and be saved, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
