PARTINERS IN THE HARVEST

Companies partner by sharing resources, advanced technology, data analytics to optimise efficiency and output. In the light of such , we see IBM and YARA integrate weather data with crop nutrition advice to improve farming precision. Also farmers were immensely helped in the area of soil health monitoring, predicting risk and increase in crop yield by the partnership of Bayern and Microsoft in developing cloud-based digital tools for farmers. Again we see John Deere and Corteva combined precision machinery with advanced seed science to maximise farm productivity. In the same way , getting results from ,the expansion of the gospel should not be different. “Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor” . Ecclesiastic 4:9 NASB” And how will anyone go and tell them without being sent…” Romans 10:15Taking the gospel to the unreached across the globe requires partnership between the home front ( senders ) and the soldiers in the field ( the sent) . This will enhance the effective and robust harvest of souls to the kingdom of God. Not everyone is called to go to the unreached nations, but every believer is called to either go to the mission field or to be a sender . Missionaries are hindered from carrying out effective missions if they are constantly encumbered with basic survival needs. This is where financial partners come in by holding the gospel rope for such a missionary Your financial investment and giving is a powerful vehicle that takes the gospel to the darkest part of the earth and it is an investment that delivers eternal dividend Funding a missionary makes you a vital partner in every single soul being won to Christ as in ; John.4.36 – “And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.” 1 Sam.30:24 – “For who will heed you in this matter? But as his part is who goes down to the battle, so shall his part be who stays by the supplies; they shall share alike.” Through generous giving , Bibles are being distributed , mini and major crusades are being carried out and families of missionaries are being sustained. Where your money goes to can tell or reflect your true spiritual priority and love for the lost. Examine your status , partnership-wise with the gospel and be intentional to fund or adopt a missionary and thereby pushing the gospel to farthest part of the earth ,and to the unreached. By so doing you are storing for yourself treasures in heaven. Matt.6.20 – “But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.”
