Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.
Devotional Thoughts
By David Wilkerson
This matter of sowing and reaping can be taken two ways, both good and bad. All my life I've heard it preached, "Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap...." It was almost always given a bad connotation: sow to the flesh and reap destruction — sow to the wind and reap a whirlwind! But this text of the parable of the talents focuses primarily on the good side of sowing: sowing to the spirit to reap life everlasting. "...in due season we shall reap, if we faint not" (Galatians 6:9).
The Lord is going to have a great host of willing sowers in the last days — they will be spontaneous volunteers. Here is how God does it: When He determines that His day of power has come then He raises up holy prophets, watchmen, and shepherds who blow the trumpet. God supernaturally moves upon a people to respond. They heed the call to repent, to rally, and to rise up in faith to challenge the enemy. They wake up, go out — and challenge the powers of darkness. God’s people begin to cry out and He sends prophets to arouse the church.
There is absolutely nothing on Earth or in hell that can stop the last day harvest!
