Look On The Fields by Keith Cook
Today there are needs all around us.
"Jesus
saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to
finish his work. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh
harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the
fields; for they are white already to harvest." John 4:34, 35
Never
before in the history of the world has mankind been faced with such a
godless society. Terrorism and materialism rule side by side.
Morals
and decency have been thrown aside for prosperity and pleasures. Young
people and adults go from one fad to the next looking for happiness.
The mood is set for a tremendous spiritual awakening.
Yet
the hour is late for so many people. Before this day is over nearly
150,000 people will pass from this life into a Christless eternity. That
is over 1 million people a week.
The fields are ripe for a move of God.
The
fields are really ripe for harvest. Never before in the history of the
world have more people been coming into God's kingdom. God is using wars
and famine to move God honoring troops and social teams into place to
reach cultures never before open to the message of Christ.
The
collapse of communism in Eastern Europe has been used by God to move
professionals, who are Christian, into key places of leadership and
training. This is also beginning to happen in the Middle East.
Yet,
at the same time God moves, so does the Devil. Sects and cults are also
moving to meet human needs. Recently, I saw an ad where one cult was
offering free airfare and education to any leaders from Eastern Europe,
who wanted to be trained in business and economics. The Muslims are
trying to buy converts all over Africa.
When the good
governments see the trouble that their people are having they respond
with social programs to help. It is time for the people of God to do the
same. My friends, someone is dying and going to hell, can't we see that
now is the time to do more and try more than ever before to reach them.
While
we take aid around the world and across the street, let us also take
the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Share our faith and practice modern day
Christianity. The world is waiting to see what Christians are made of.
Let the redeemed of the Lord get out into the fields of service. These
is still time.
Daily Prayer Focus: Pray for boldness
and courage to share about Jesus Christ. Pray for the lost that they
will see their desperate need for Christ.
On The Go
Prayer Focus: Staff and many other evangelists and pastors as they
attend the North Africa Evangelism Conference. Pray for each evangelist
and ministry team in attendance that they will be encouraged,
strengthened, and refueled to carry out God's Call!
