THE LABORERS ARE FEW by Samuel Hari

Text:

Matt 9:37-38

Why are the laborers few? Can God raise up the laborers?

Mat 20:16 ; Mat 22:14 Many are called, few are chosen

We are all called. Praise God! But not all are chosen. Why not?

The calling part is with God but the chosen part depends on us (although GOD IS the one who chooses).

Many are called up but only a few are chosen. If that is the case, then our main agenda is to be part of the few! Fortunately, even for that the LORD has made a way.

The majority are not responding due to:

Luk 14:18-20 Excuses.

Mat 24:38 We are not aware.

1Jn 2:15-17 Friendship with the world.

2 Cor 5:17-21

What should we be confessing? The “FEW” say BELIEVING these few things everyday:

I AM A NEW CREATION.

I AM THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN CHRIST JESUS!

GOD IS IN CHRIST RECONCILING THE WORLD TO HIMSELF. That means God is working all the time!

GOD HAS GIVEN ME THE MINISTRY OF RECONCILIATION.

GOD HAS COMMITTED TO ME THE WORD OF RECONCILIATION.

I AM AN AMBASSADOR OF CHRIST. Therefore i have diplomatic status and diplomatic immunity .

When we confess this, we begin to draw the anointing, we begin to draw the thirsty, the hungry in the world around us.

The laborers are FEW. Do we want to be part of the few? More motivation to be part of the FEW.

Matt 7:13-14

If we want to be part of the few, START BELIEVING! He will then equip us, enable us and show us HIS HARVEST! We will be surprise at those God chooses, we may never have expected them; but let's stand out of the way and let the LORD have His way. We will be even more surprised at where the harvest is! The most unexpected places! The most unexpected people. Like Jonah, let's not be disobedient but understand the heart of our reconciling Father. AMEN!
