Anticipating the Harvest
It is Harvest Time!
Posturing for Harvest
VISION: Anticipation NOT Apathy
Where’s the Harvest?
"A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; and optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty."
--Winston Churchill
"The opportunity of a lifetime must be seized during the lifetime of the opportunity."
--Leonard Ravenhill
Traffic Light Christians
Red-Light Christians (Unbelief): “The world is going to hell and want nothing to do with God or the gospel.
It is time to isolate and prepare for judgment and Christ’s Second Coming.”
Yellow-Light Christians (Procrastination): “One day the harvest will be ready.
Let’s just relax and keep polishing the sickle.”
Green-Light Christians (Faith): “Why are we waiting?
The fields are ripe!
People are ready now to be saved if we will just go and share the gospel.”
FAITH: Opportunities NOT Obstacles
Twelve Spies: Ten saw the obstacles.
Two saw the opportunity.
If Christ has called us to go, then going is faith that God has gone before us.
COMPASSION: Care NOT Condemnation
We must not see ourselves better than others.
Except for grace, we are no better than the worst of sinners.
We must see people the way that Jesus sees people.
COMMITMENT: Participation NOT Procrastination
"God has promised pardon to your conversion; He has not promised a tomorrow for your delay."
--Augustine on procrastination
"Procrastination is the death of time and the grave of opportunity."
--Adrian Rogers
CONNECTION: Contributors NOT Consumers
The Response of Faith
I will lift up my eyes on the fields!
What field has God assigned to you?
I will believe that people are ready to hear and receive the gospel.
I will begin to reap the harvest of souls around me
The Reward of Faith
He who reaps receives wages.
He who reaps gathers fruit for eternal life.
He who reaps experiences the joy of the Christian life.
