“Look on the fields for they are ready for harvest.”
John
4:35
When our very own Pastor Abet Falcunit gave a sermon
about SOHFA or “state of the harvest
field address” in our church, he strongly urged the
congregation to “look on the fields to labor for the fruits are ready for
harvest” (John 4:35). God is seeking for laborers. Meaning, God’s purpose for all of us is to serve Him.
To serve God to save the souls of those who have not yet accepted Jesus as
their personal Lord and savior. So many
works to be done in the field but the
laborers are few to do the harvesting. Pastor Abet also stressed in his sermon
that God is compassionate to all of us. If God is compassionate, we must also
be compassionate with others. God sees us all precious in His eyes.
There are more loiterers than laborers. The ADDRESSOR is
the Lord while the ADDRESSEE are the disciples or the saved ones in the
church. God did not allow us to die
because He has the purpose for all of us…to send us to work in His vineyard…to
evangelize and to win souls.
In Isaiah
6:8, God commissioned Isaiah to labor in
the fields. Isaiah heard the voice of the
Lord saying “whom shall I
send”? Isaiah said, “here am I send me.”God commissioned us all to work in the field.
