Do you not say, There are still four months and then comes the harvest? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest! And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. John 4:35-36 MESSAGE: Most of us are familiar with the oft-repeated quote of the 18th century English poet and dramatist, Edward Young, ‘Procrastination is the thief of time’. To procrastinate is to postpone or put off doing something you intend to do. In today’s scripture, Jesus exhorts His disciples to change their perspective of the conditions around them and to take the initiative to gather in the ripe opportunities. He says to them, ‘the fields are already white for harvest’. I believe that God has some ripe fields for you this week. Even though the fields are ripe for harvest, we have to go and bring in the harvest. Many times we miss out on great opportunities because we fail to act at the most opportune time. We keep deceiving ourselves that there will always be enough time for us to do the things we want to do. Sometimes action that should have been taken remains untaken for days, months, years and decades till sadly we grow old and tired. Already, we are in the 19th day of the New Year. Very soon Christmas will be with us again. Time waits for no one. The harvest is ready; are you ready? This week I pray that God will help you seize the opportunities He brings your way. Possess your ripe fields. May this be a week of GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENTS for you. Shalom
