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 portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
