Don’t get tired! Pt3

Don’t get tired of doing what is good. Don’t get discouraged and give up, for we will reap a harvest of blessings at the appropriate time. Galatians 6:9

Look at the last line of this verse. Its says : “We will reap a harvest of blessings at the appropriate time”.

The Bible teaches us that God works in seasons. There is a time and season for everything. In Ecclesiastes 3, it talks about the different times and seasons and what we do in those different seasons.

Here is one of those seasons mentioned,  “There is a time to plant and time to harvest………………….”

When we don’t understand the seasons we get frustrated and eventually get discouraged and give up.

I have discovered that not every season is a harvest season. There is a time to plant and a time to harvest. Planting season if far more difficult than harvest season. The Bible talks about ‘sowing in tears and reaping with joy’

Whatever you are working on right now, (that is giving you a headache), allow time for the seeds you have planted to germinate. It can be a long process.

What season are you in right now? Minimise stress and weariness by understanding your season and work accordingly.

And remember in the “appropriate time you will reap a harvest of blessings”

Start preparing now for the harvest. I live in New Zealand and its springtime now. I am getting ready for a new season of growth and believing God for a great harvest.

If you grow tired, discouraged and weary now, the harvest will be wasted.

What do you pray for?

Do you find yourself praying almost the same prayers over and over again?

Here are some of the things I find myself praying for almost everyday:

I pray for wisdom, vision, courage, faith, and passion.

I pray for my wife and children. (Habit: I lay hands on them while they are asleep).

I pray for our church family that each person will grow in God, find joy in serving Him, purpose in life and success in what they do and recently – Protection.

I pray for our City and particulalrly Manurewa. I pray for transformation and Salvation.

I pray for the Body of Christ and other pastors ( Habit: I pray God blessing on every church I go pass, especially in Manurewa)

I pray a lot of ‘blessing’ type prayers. (I guess it’s what most pastors are asked to do)

2 Timothy 1:3  -  I pray for you every day, and many times during the long nights I beg my God to bless you richly.
