What do you do during harvest time? You have planted and watered, and now it’s
time to receive your abundant harvest. Is it a time to sleep or a time to
continue working? This post says, “It is time to call in the harvest with
the harvest tools available.”
He who gathers in summer is a wise son; He who sleeps in harvest
is a son who causes shame – Proverbs 10:5 (NKJV)
So Ahab went up to eat and drink. And Elijah went up to the
top of Carmel; then he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his
knees, and said to his servant, “Go up now, look toward the sea.”
So he went up and looked, and said, “There is nothing.” And
seven times he said, “Go again.”
Then it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, “There
is a cloud, as small as a man’s hand, rising out of the sea!” So he said, “Go
up, say to Ahab, ‘Prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops you.’
” -1 Kings 18:42- 44 (NKJV)
The beginning of a new year is always a time for preparing
for a better year: a year full of success and blessings, a year void of
pitfalls and regrets. Many people fast and pray for divine intervention,
blessings, etc., all through the year. But the challenge is that after such
spiritual exercises, some people go to sleep while waiting for their answered
prayers.
No, it is not wisdom to sleep during harvest time! It is
time to remain fervent in the spirit, calling in the abundant harvest, a time
to violently receive your harvest of answered prayers: for the violent takes it
by force, Matthew 11:12. Like Elijah remain on your knees till you receive your
abundant returns. You don’t have to continue the days of fasting but the tempo
of your prayers must not reduce.
So what harvest tools
will you use at this time?
