Matt.9.38 – Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest
The needs of man is growing by the day, spiritual needs, financial needs, material needs, physical needs, health needs, biological needs. And as needs grow, demand grow and when demands grow according to economics, supply grow.
The day started with Jesus arriving in his home town. The demand has risen so much that they couldn’t wait for him to get home they brought him a man sick of Palsy. After he healed him, continued on his journey home saw Matthew sitting at the custom office desk, he called him out into his destiny. Looking at Mathew, you can see it written all over his face, he was tired of that job feeling misplaced and displaced Christ called him out to come give us this scripture am reading from today. Next you find him with the publicans and sinners righting there wrongs and fixing messed up lives. The scribes and Pharisees where not okay with this. He also took out time to address their ignorance. While on this, Jairus came to plead for healing for his dead daughter, on his way to Jairus’ house, the woman of the issue of blood came trying to sneak into the scene getting her healing then sneak out unnoticed saying if I can but touch.
As he left Jairus’ house after bringing his daughter to life, two blind men followed him. And as I looked back from the man with the Palsy to the blind men, they all have one thing in common. Same price with which they purchased there healing, faith!
As Jesus went on about preaching the gospel, he stood and looked around and declared “the harvest indeed is plenty” Look around you, the Hunger, the Disease, the Sickness, the Pain, high rate of Divorce, Death, Barrenness, Hopelessness… It goes on. All this is not meant to lead men away from God but draw them closer to God. The devil may have the virus but we (the church) have the cure.
Amos.6.1 – How terrible it will be for you who lounge in luxury and think you are secure in Jerusalem and Samaria! You are famous and popular in Israel, you to whom the people go for help. (NLT)
The harvest is Plenty the master didn’t give himself rest, I never read of him sitting in the temple sharing bread with the scribes and Pharisees and discussing politics, He said *I must do the work of him that sent me while it is day for the night cometh when no man can Work.
You are the Mathew would you get up and follow? Or will you continue at ease in Zion?
