"Therefore said He unto them, the harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He would send forth labourers into his harvest."
(Luke 10:2)
The Lord Jesus in His earth walk went about the cities and villages teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom and healing the sick and diseased among the people.
The Bible says He saw the multitude and was moved with compassion for them because they were weary and scattered, like sheep without a shepherd (Mathew 9:36). This was the reason He asked the disciples to pray to the Lord of the harvest to send forth labourers to reap the bountiful harvest of souls around the world. you are that man, you are that woman, you are co-labourers with the Lord.
In 1 Corinthians 3:9, Apostle Paul said, "For we are laboourers together with God...", that means every Christian is a co-labourer with God in building lives, and saving souls. John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son , that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life." God sent His Son Jesus to save the world and you are a partner with Him in the project.
He's already permitted you with the grace for an effective soul winning life and in 2 Corinthians 6:1, He implores you not to receive that grace in vain: "We then ,as workers together with Him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain." Acts 1:8 says, "But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Spirit is come upon you, and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and in Judea and in Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
The Holy Spirit, who is the Lord of the harvest, lives in us today. You have to take advantage of His grace and power in you to be effective witness of the resurrected Christ. Recognize and take your place as a co-labourer with the Lord. Fulfill your calling every day, as a soul winner and a Kingdom builder.
