Praise the Lord, Beloved, and Greetings in the Name of the One who inspired the words, “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good until all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith” (Galatians 6:10). The Name of the One who inspired these words is none other than our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. It is in His Name that I greet you.
Beloved, in continuance of our theme, “If Two shall Agree” - A love of slumber and sleep has gripped thousands. Their beds hold them until noon, after which they arise, pray for about five minutes, and expect God to honor their prayers. Yet, many of these same people can listen to the radio for hours, purely for entertainment purposes. Some can use the telephone for all day, just for gossip. Then, they have the nerve to say that they are short of time. We ought to squeeze every opportunity we can out of the few moments of life that our God has given us. One way to accomplish this is to think about others more than ourselves.
Chosen Ones, scripture records that Jesus said, “The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few” (Matthew 9:37). This teaches us that there are many who need to be persuaded to live for God, but there are not enough Christians who are willing to be unselfish and work together to see this goal come to reality. Notice that Jesus said “laborers” - not one laborer, but many. It is only when two or three or more Christians work together that they can win over a harvest of souls.
Precious ones, in other words, there are so many souls that need salvation that no one man or woman can reap this harvest alone. When Jesus gave me the name of our church, Anointed Harvest, I saw a vision of anointed vessels of all races, social classes and educational levels, working together to convince a dying world to repent and give their lives to Jesus. However, the vision never showed only one man or one woman working to accomplish this goal. Rather, two or three operating in one accord can accomplish anything in Christ.
I will write more on this subject next week.
Until then, know this,
I love you all so very much,
In His Love,
Pastor William L. McCoy
