MAKING THE HARVEST A PRIORITY

朋友的故事，救恩的故事，保障的故事。
我知道我已经要开始了，我的事功已经开始了，因为我天父已经祝福了我。借着我的生命和我的工作来荣耀我天父的名，
我天父是一位信实的上帝，圣灵都不断地与我同在，帮助我，教导我，鼓励我，带领我。我没有一样可以夸口，我可以夸我的弱点，在我的弱点就有了我天父的荣耀。
谢谢你天父，你知道我写这信时候我是有什么心情，感谢你天父赐我一切。
感谢你告诉我“庄稼已经好了，我只要去收割而已”
感谢你告诉我“你已经祝福了我，叫我不穷去得罪你，也不叫我太富有忘记你。”
天父啊，我要有丰盛的生命在你里面和我不要过着穷的生活，我要养我的家人，我要有你叫我的兴旺。过着巨大影响力成功者，领导者，基督徒。（生命）
一切荣耀归给你。丰我主耶稣的名。阿门。



MAKING THE HARVEST A PRIORITY
“The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.” Matthew 9:37
At this time of year many people find themselves in the midst of a busy harvest season. The fields are bursting with grain. Farmers are eager to reap what they have sown and worked hard for.
In our reading for today, Jesus tells us that this same spiritual condition exists around us, “The harvest is plentiful.” He says something similar in John 4:35: “Open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.” In other words, there are people all around us who are ready to come to Christ. They just need to be loved and invited.
The trouble is that Christians have a hard time believing this. We often feel as if people are not really interested. But God has created us all with a “God-sized” hole in our hearts that can only be filled by him. Most people are surprisingly open to exploring faith issues.
According to Jesus, the problem is not a lack of spiritual interest on the part of most people; it’s a lack of kingdom harvesters. That’s why he says, “Ask the Lord of the harvest . . . to send out workers into his harvest field.” Imagine acres and acres of ripened fruit ready to be picked, and yet the workers are few. Will you help?
Now is harvesttime. Will you join me in praying that God will raise up more kingdom harvesters? Will you consider becoming one?
PRAYER
Lord of the harvest, stir within us a deep desire to do your work in this world. Give us opportunities to share your story--and the joy of helping others to know you. Amen
把收庄稼放在首位
「要收的庄稼多，作工的人少。」 太9:37

每年这个时候，有许多人处于一个忙碌的收割季节，田裏长出谷物，农夫兴致勃勃地收割自己所撒的种及自己努力耕耘的成果。
在 我们今天所读的经文中，耶稣告诉我们，这个属灵状况今天依然存在我们当中：「要收的庄稼多」。祂在约翰福音4:35说出类似的话：「举目向田观看，庄稼已 经熟了，可以收割了。」换言之，我们身边全都是准备好迎接基督的人，他们只是需要祢的爱和邀请。　　问题是，基督徒难以相信这个事实，我们往往认为别人不 会真的对属灵事物有兴趣，但神创造我们，叫我们内心都有一个只有祂才可以填满的「空洞」。因此，许多人都乐意探讨信仰问题，令我们始料不及。
耶稣认为，问题并不是大多数人对属灵的事物不感兴趣，而是缺乏天国的收割者。所以，祂说：「所以你们当求庄稼的主，打发工人出去收他的庄稼。」试想像一下，果实累累、大片大片的田野正等候工人来采摘，可惜做工的人却寥寥可数，你愿意伸出援助之手吗？
现在就是收割的时候，你愿意和我一起祷告，求神兴起更多天国的收割者吗？你会考虑成为其中一员吗？
祷告
庄稼的主，求祢挑旺我们，叫我们深切渴望在这世上为祢作工，赐我们机会与人分享祢的故事，也赐我们因帮助别人认识祢而有的喜乐。阿们。
