Harvest the Land
There are times when I am praying to God and He starts talking to me, but I'm not sure if I should get up, write, or sit still. During one of these moments, I felt an urgency to move to the computer. I began reading 1 Corinthians 11:23-26: For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for[f] you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
As I sat and read this scripture I became overwhelmed with grief for those who do not know Jesus Christ. My heart ached because there are so many people living in such horrible conditions. They have no idea that Jesus died to give them eternal life and a better life while living here on this earth. It is imperative that every time we get the opportunity to speak to someone, we let them know that Jesus is Lord!
God wants our conversations to be about Him and what He has done for all of us. We can spend so much time having these conversations with others yet we do not give them any insight about Christ. I pray that as God presses upon our hearts to share His word, we will move in boldness to minister to everyone we come in contact with. Time is winding up and our neighbors, roommates, grocery store clerks, coffee shop workers, bank tellers, estheticians, co-workers, etc. can all die without receiving our Savior because we held back on sharing His word!
It can sometimes be hard to remember that we are here on assignment! This human experience can really deceive us at times and cause us to miss our opportunity to share His word. We have to remember that we are spirits placed in a body sent by God to do His work on this earth. Everyday someone is dying. We cannot be afraid to tell others about our Savior. We must let our light shine whenever the Holy Spirit prompts us to do so! Wherever we are right now there is land waiting for us to harvest!
Father,
Thank you for the amazing gift of Jesus’ blood that gives us eternal life. Thank you for using others to draw us to You. Father, show us how to minister in whatever way you have designed for us to draw others to You! My God how we love you and praise You. In Jesus name, amen!
