Of Harvest Time

Apostle Grace Lubega

Genesis 15:3 (KJV); And Abram said, Behold, to me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine heir.

Seed is personal. Harvest is not.

When one desires harvest, it is no longer about only them. It affects so many people.

For example, Jesus Christ died as one man but the harvest brought many sons to glory.

In the same way, from our theme scripture, Abraham sought a seed (singular) but God’s mind was for him to father nations and have descendants as many as the stars in the sky.

When God prepares men for harvest, he gives them the understanding that what they want is not about themselves alone but it is about a generation, about preserving a posterity that is in perfect sync with the plan of God upon the earth.

He is the Lord of the harvest (Matthew 9:38). It means that His agenda drives how the harvest must come about.

God’s agenda was the death of that one seed that Abraham had asked for and received. In His agenda, Isaac had to die. This looked like it could frustrate the harvest but Abraham had to recognize that the Lord of the harvest had a bigger picture in mind. The bigger story was to paint the eternal picture of Christ and God’s purpose for eternity.

For every seed you seek, you must have God’s mind for its harvest. You must have His vision of whom it must benefit outside your circle.

His name be praised!

PRAYER: Father, I thank you for this Word. Today I live my life in the understanding of this invaluable instruction. That this path and course you have set for me is not just about me. It is about the nations you must bless; the generations you want to change and the purposes you want to establish. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
