Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
Matthew 9: 37,38
My brethren in Christ across the world. You must keep praying that the Lord raise up more harvesters to reap the great bounty unto Heaven's basket. For God wants to hear the righteous prayer. The harvest is still very great and the number of harvesters are very few. But trust that the Lord thy God will and is answering our prayers. For Jesus Christ Himself has ordered us to pray for these things.
Several times before I have prayed that God through Jesus Christ raise up more harvesters so that billions of people across the world get saved through Christ. Then recently I got a message from a young man, who at only the age of 10, gave me his testimony of how he was beginning his journey with Jesus Christ. And right there I realized that God has been listening to my prayers. By seeing this young man's testimony, God was showing me that He has already started raising up harvesters for His Kingdom.
So brethren we must continue to pray and never cease. Not just praying for harvesters but also praying for everything Christ has commanded us to petition before God the Father. With faith and trust in Him God is answering our prayers. Do not lack faith or fill yourself with disbelief for that only messes things up. God wants to see you trust Him fully and then many miracles happen.
As for us current harvesters who have already been raised up b the Lord, there are always things we can do. There is always something we can do to glorify the Lord and point our fellow man in His direction. For example; American and European Christians are blessed to have easy access to the internet. The internet can be a very useful tool in spreading the gospel of God very rapidly and efficiently. There is a myriad of ways we can use the internet in spreading the Lord's words. Some of us have websites or networks where we can upload the Bible or tell others our testimony of how we came to Christ. I personally use all my old websites to share electronic Bibles in multi-languages. There are many things to do so always ask the Lord what task He has for you.
Remember the prophets of old had it harder to spread the Lord's gospel. Back then men like the John the Baptist and Simon Peter had to travel from land to land. And what we have now at the push of a button, they only had the speed of a horse and rider. So let us not take the tools God has given us for granted and use them for evil things. Let's use every instrument we have as a means to glorify God.
Some of our brethren may not have many resources at their disposal but ask the Lord what you can do for Him. Also pray that He uses you as one of the tools of His kingdom. There is one underlying commandment we must carry out and that is:
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mark 16: 15
Always carry faith in your heart too my brethren. Every time we fight this spiritual battle we fight it for the glory of the Lord which is in Heaven. In addition when we fight the battle, we fight it with the faith that God is going to save everyone we witness or pray to. We fight this spiritual battle with the faith that every testimony we share, every Bible we give someone, every writing of the Lord we make, every human we intercede in prayer for, or every street we preach on will help a person to become saved. And thus another individual is reaped unto the harvest basket of Heaven.
We don't want to be the only people in the Heaven. We want billions of people across the world to join us in the safety of the Lord's Kingdom and singing praises to the King of Kings with us. God Himself wants everyman to repent and follow Him. The flesh is nothing, the spirit is everything. Even when a someone dies their spirit lives on. Let us continue to work and pray so that many spirits become safe in the Lord's arms. Always know that you have a spiritual battle to fight and a spiritual war to win.
