Steps to harvest your harvest
Dear friends,
The Lord has been revealing that the harvest is ready. The workers must come to collect them. This requires organization. Follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. It may take some steps to come to the realization of the dream, the vision that the Lord has placed in your heart. The collection will be carried out in stages. The important point is that there are enemies lurking that can intervene to destroy your work. Be well prepared and protect the harvest approaching full harvest.
Step 1: go directly to the field
Look no where else except in the field that is ripe. If someone tells you that there is another field where the crop is ripe, make sure there is not the crop you are expecting. Also, if the collector is distracted before starting the task at hand, they may never be able to perform the collection function. So stay focused. It will have a great reward. If the Lord has asked you to take certain steps, go further. Give him some things to work with. Let Him make the decisions and you will have plenty when the harvest comes.
How does this spiritual truth apply to us?
If God has asked you to do a certain thing and now you feel like you are ready to go to the market, don’t be distracted by middlemen. They make false promises, and false hopes will only delay you in doing what you are anointed to do right now. These distractors will divert you from your goal and keep you waiting when you really should be harvesting. It is also possible that these distractors are on a mission from the devil to delay and discourage you before entering God’s chosen field for harvest.
Step 2: prepare your tools
The workers must enter with a sickle and a basket to collect. If you lose your sickle, you will not be able to collect. Our sickle is the Word of God. This is the sword of the spirit with which we can fight against the enemies when the worker goes to harvest. There has to be some kind of opposition because the devil will try to stop you in different ways and with different schemes.
Step 3: build on wisdom and understanding
If there is a task that needs to be done, it should be done wisely. There is a Kingdom mindset or know-how that comes from the Scriptures that allows the job to be done right. The mind of Christ helps you do things in such a way that the Lord is blessed. Being based on wisdom reduces mistakes and anguish and helps us to obtain the maximum harvest for our work.
Step 4: Gather it
Whatever happens, keep your eyes fixed on the Lord of the harvest. When the harvest is complete, don’t think this is your job and take pride in it. Accept it for the gift that it is, because He has been working hard at it. So give him the glory! He is Lord and will be Lord forever and ever. It is glorious in everything. Shout your praise as you reap the harvest! Alellujah !!!
Additional Notes: Why did I say you have been working very hard on it?
Mark Chapter 4 verses 26 to 29:
Verse 26 The farmer plants the seed
27 The seed sprouts and grows mysteriously
28 The earth produces grass, ear and grain
29 The farmer gathers the harvest.
Only two actions belong to the farmer: planting and harvesting. The rest of the activities are the fruit of the devotion that is simply trusting in the mystery and looking forward with hope. The main activities are carried out by the Lord himself. It is also important to mention here that God does his part how we do our part. Trusting Him is the true miracle that God requires of us.
