THE LABOURES 2

-

Text : Mat 9:37 KJV 

 *Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;* 

In farming, more caution is required during harvesting than it is during planting. The hallmark of the labourer is his ability to gather harvests unto eternal life. 

The one who harvests is already receiving his wages *and gathering a crop for eternal life* , so that the one who sows and the one who harvests may rejoice together.Joh 4:36 ISV.

We cannot leave newborn babes in Christ on the side of the road to fend for themselves after we have completed our gospel conversation. It is beautiful to be instrumental in birthing a new life in Christ. But it is very important to see that the newborn is placed in a viable position that ultimately leads to eternal life. 

Paul said "My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you,"Gal 4:19. The essence of the travailing is to see Christ being formed in the newborns. 

This is one good labour of the harvester, gathering Souls unto eternal life. 

Eternal life comes by hearing and believing the word of Christ. That whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life.John 3:15. *Eternal life simply comes through Jesus Christ.* 

Rom 6:23 says, For the wages of sin is death; *but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord* .

Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.Joh 6:68. *That is, eternal life is contained in the word of Jesus* It is the work of the labourers to expose people to the word of eternal life. There's no alternative to this. Any program devoid of the word of eternal life will only bring death to the people. 

Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: *for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.* 2Co 3:6.

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: *the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life* .Joh 6:63.

 *How well are you heralding the word of life?* 

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. lord, make me a able minister of the word of life, that I may gather souls unto eternal life. 

Bible reading: Matthew 9;35-38.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
