December 11th Rhapsody – THE HARVEST IS NOW

THE HARVEST IS NOW

Memory Verse: Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest (John 4:35).

The Lord Jesus corrected a mindset in His disciples that still persists in some people today—the idea that the harvest is in the future. But the harvest is now. The fields are ripe for harvest. Ponder again the words of the Master; He said, “Lift up your eyes…the fields are already white!” In other words, the time to act is now.

There are people all around you who are ready to receive the Gospel. They may not look it. They may not act like it. But in their hearts, they’re searching, yearning, and waiting for God’s truth. It reminds of what the Bible says in Romans 8:19, “For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.”

You’re the one they’re waiting for to bring them into the liberty of the sons of God. You’re the one to deliver them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God (Acts 26:18). Don’t assume people aren’t interested in the Gospel; many are simply waiting for someone to expound it to them. That someone is you. They’re waiting to see, hear, and experience the love, grace and compassion of Christ through you.

When you lift your eyes with the Spirit’s insight, you’ll see opportunities in your school, office, family, community, city, town, village, and even online to spread the message of the Gospel and impact many lives with the love of Christ. The harvest is right where you are. So, be available, be sensitive. The harvest isn’t only ripe, it’s urgent, and the time to reap is now!

Prayer / Confession

Dear Father, thank you for opening my eyes to see the harvest around me. I respond with love, faith, boldness and compassion to this challenge of the harvest, taking my place as a faithful labourer in your field, bringing many to salvation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

If you’re blessed by this devotional, believing every words you heard by faith in your heart, and would love to make Jesus the lord of your life, then speak the confessions below out loud, and mean them with your heart:

“O Lord God, I believe with all my heart in Jesus Christ, Son of the living God. I believe He died for me and God raised Him from the dead. I believe He’s alive today. I confess with my mouth that Jesus Christ is the Lord of my life from this day. Through Him and in His Name, I have eternal life; I’m born again. Thank you Lord, for saving my soul! I’m now a child of God. Hallelujah!”
