The Lord of the Harvest!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, i know that He is the Lord of the Harvest and His desire is that we live and not die, and that we see the His goodness in the land of the living. i heard something so profound that i wan to share, with those that don't mind. i was told by pastor Leo Tsumba, that, its one thing to pray, its another to pray and seek an answered prayer. he said mostly Christians we just pray and then live it at that, no! expect the answer to the prayer, and will fill glean expect that prayer to be answered. Isaiah 49 vs 8-11

i then thought wow, this is surely true, and i went home to meditate this word, do i expect my prayers to be answered or i just pray and leave it at that. The Lord is awesome, He immediately answered me with an analogy, that i must share. I then saw a field at harvest time, green and lovely full of life and reap, the other farmers in the other fields, were busy harvesting, and there i was just there admiring my harvest, i could see, it, feel it, touch it, i even ate some from the field, but, i just stood there and watched. i even then sat down, and thought, wow, i have arrived, then said, i deserve to rest now, the harvest/produce is here, if i rest a lil bit, i will get energy to then harvest they bounty harvest. i had fellow farmers pushing me to harvest, and i began irritable, saying i will, leave me alone, i will harvest, i even got angry and told then to mind their own business. I look back at my produce and smile, it was there, what was their problem, its not going anywhere(so i thought). some of the farmers even volunteered to help me harvest, but i refused, i did not trust them, and i knew i did not want to pay them for their work, because the i would have less, some even said we will do i for free, but i refused.

Its harvest time, i sense it, yes it is! the time has come for us to harvest, the breakthrough has happened and its time to harvest! what are you doing during harvest time? just watching? Anyway before i knew it i was looking at a field with dry produce, right before my eyes. i had dry produce and it was no longer useful to me, because the harvest was essential, when fresh, not dry but green and fresh. i was thinking i do not want harvest time to pass, me by, and there, i had planted, nurtured watered, wedded and had beautiful produce, but i was right there looking at it when it went dry, why, because , the prayer had been answered and i had to harvest but, i was living in the moment and enjoying the "experience of great produce", without harvesting it!

The Lord of the harvest from Isaiah 48 vs 17-18 is here, and wants you to listen and learn the seasons. I don't know about you but i was thinking, Nhai Mwari has Isaiah always been like this alive and real, its like you can taste the word, and His promises are clear and YES & AMEN. Do not let this season pass you by, we all have worked hard to a place of harvest, now get on with it! HARVEST YOUR PRODUCE, don't let it dry up and go to waste, these could be gum tree blessing, and we all know they take 7 years to be able to harvest them.

There could be things happening around you, that draw your attention from harvesting, could be getting tired to pray, or feeling discouraged, and i declare refreshing and strength, that you may have the God kind of grace to harvest your produce, the time is now, RIGHT NOW! if your combined harvester has a clog, its time to built a strong team to pray and fast with you. The clog might be unforgiveness, did you know that your level of forgiveness will determine your level of faith. If you forgive, u have faith that God is in control and will take care of the hurt, the pain, and all that has drawn you back. Unclog that combined harvester and get harvesting, He is the Lord of the Harvest!

Of course it was not going anywhere, but i did not know that slowly but surely, it was drying up, and soon will just be an experience. when other people are encouraging you to soldier on, and to be accountable, don't be mad, listen learn, and see, where u can benefit, so that we do this. The bible says, the harvest is plenty but the laborers are few. don't be selfish and refuse for other to help you harvest through prayer and holding your hand to harvest, the more people u have in your corner and harvest team, the faster you fill the barns to overflow. Don't be afraid to be accountable, or to be mentored, those are people, who can even remind you its harvest time, and to get HARVESTING! Learn to trust that people want to help you for nothing in return, come on think about it, would you be able to afford your mentor, if they sent you an invoice, you even pay up your accountability partner? Let them help you harvest, the harvest is yours! who is you Eunuch and who is you Naomi? who is you walking with you side by side, whose foot steps are you following, whom are you allowing to speak into your life? it makes a difference when you have these people.

It might not make sense, but if you catch anything from this blog, i say HE is the LORD of the HARVEST, get Harvesting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  2. one thing i have learnt is when a word is realised in your life, don't sit back and watch and think it will happen on its on, you have to press on and pray it to manifestation, and then, be expectant of your answered prayer!
