THE SURE HARVEST OF THE GOD SENT
MISSIONARIES OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
( Psalms 126:5-6 ) 5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6 He that
goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with
rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
* INTRODUCTION:
a. The counsel to sure harvest is
from above or God. God is commanding His people to use this sure spiritual
strategy and we can assure sure harvest precious souls.
b. The counsel is spiritual not come
from experience of a successful person in this World. Many times, use the
strategy of secular in this World and apply it in the Ministry of the work of
Lord.
a. Missionaries or Soulwinners are
compare a farmer whose job is to sow seed to their farm and watered it and take
care of their plant and if the plant are grown up already the final action to
the plant is to harvest.
( II Timothy 2:6 ) 6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first
partaker of the fruits.
* The spiritual farmers are ready to
enjoy the fruit of his labour.
* You and I Christian are spiritual
farmers of the Lord Jesus Christ.
* In John 4: 35 Jesus Christ encourages
us " Lift up your eyes and look on the field for the are white already to
harvest.
1. SURE HARVEST BECAUSE IT WAS SOWN
WITH MUCH TEARS.
( Psalms 126:5-6 ) 5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
6 He that
goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with
rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.
a. God said put your tears in a
bottle.
Psalms 56:8 Thou tellest
my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
A. God encourage His people to spent
more tears and put it in the bottle to assure to Big harvest in the Mission
field.
B. Tears of the Christian is one way
to show that we have burden for the salvation of hopeless and helpless lost
person.
( Mathew 9:45-46 ) 35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages,
teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and
healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
36 But
when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they
fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
* Christ is our prime pattern for
having burden for lost people.
* Many times, Christian for they’re
too much concern for the Worldly things they the burden for heavenly things.
Concern for the salvation of the lost are things heavenly. Supporting Missions
and showing we are concern on things heavenly.
( Colossians 3:1-2 ) 1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things
which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your
affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
* MUCH TEARS SOWN MUCH PRECIOUS SOUL
SOULS WILL HARVEST.
*More tears of the Christian assure
your dear Mother will be saved
2. SURE HARVEST BECAUSE IT WAS SOWN
WITH MUCH PRAYERS.
( Romans 10:1 ) 1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for
Israel is, that they might be saved.
( Acts 1:13-15 ) 13 And when they were come in, they went up into an
upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip,
and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon
Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
14 These
all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and
Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15 And in
those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number
of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)
* Jeremiah 33:3 3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew
thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
a. Prayer is our powerful weapon and
spiritual instrument to assure great harvest of precious souls in the Mission
field.
b. We always hear from great men of
God in their preaching on prayer is " MORE PRAYER MORE POWER & LESS
PRAYER IS ALSO LESS POWER & NO PRAYER IS NO POWER IN THE MISSION FIELD.
* In Text we saw all the Church
members are present in their prayer. In Acts 16: 25-31)
* Paul and Silas prayed for Warden in
that prison house and result the Warden got saved and his family members got
saved.
c. The work of the Lord always starts
in united prayers of Church members inside the local Church and the assure the
great harvest will follow.
( Acts 6:4-7 ) 4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer,
and to the ministry of the word.
5 And the
saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith
and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and
Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
6 Whom
they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands
on them.
7 And the
word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem
greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
* Church the Mission work sown in
much prayers assured great harvest of precious. Amen and amen.
3. SURE HARVEST BECAUSE IT WAS SOWN
WITH MUCH TIME & EFFORT OF THE CHRISTIAN.
( Mark2:1-5 ) 1 And again he entered into Capernaum after some
days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
2 And
straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to
receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto
them.
3 And they
come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
4 And when
they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where
he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick
of the palsy lay.
5 When
Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be
forgiven thee.
a. The work of the Lord needs much
time and more concern and faithful Christian to involve in reaching the lost at
any cost.
* In our text we understand the Christians
are all involved and help this palsy man to bring him to Christ. All these 4
Soulwinners gave their precious time and also used their ability and strength
to bring this palsy to Christ and this man got saved the bible said in
Mark 2:5 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he
said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
* Take note Jesus saw their faith not
the faith of the palsy and the palsy man got saved.
b. Christian experience great
persecution and the Christians the they are eager to be united in the work of
the Lord and great harvest they experience in their soulwinning effort. So many
precious souls got saved and the hand of God was with them. The bible said.
Acts 11:20-21 20 And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene,
which, when they were come to Antioch, spake unto the Grecians, preaching the
LORD Jesus.
21 And the
hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believed, and turned unto
the Lord.
4. SURE HARVEST BECAUSE IT WAS SOWN
WITH MUCH SACRIFICE AND FACE THREAT FROM THE ENEMY OF THE GOSPEL.
( Acts 5:26-29 ) 26 Then went the captain with the officers, and
brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest they should
have been stoned.
27 And
when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high
priest asked them,
28 Saying,
Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and,
behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this
man's blood upon us.
29 Then
Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather
than men.
* They experience multiple threat
from the hands of the gospel of Christ.
* They were in prison and deep warn
not preach the gospel of Christ.
( Acts 5:27-28 ) 27 And when they had brought them, they set them
before the council: and the high priest asked them,
28 Saying,
Did not we straitly command you that ye should not teach in this name? and,
behold, ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this
man's blood upon us.
29 Then
Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather
than men.
5. SURE HARVEST BECAUSE IT WAS SOWN
BY GODLY SOULWINNERS OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
( Acts 6:5-7 ) 5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and
they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and
Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of
Antioch:
6 Whom
they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands
on them.
7 And the
word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem
greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
( II Timothy 2:1-2 ) 1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace
that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the
things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to
faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
* We always need of godly men and women
to assure much harvest in our Mission field.
* Paul commanded Timothy to commit
soulwinning to FAITHFUL MEN AND WOMEN OF GOD. AMEN!!!
* God bless you all always*
