Motivating Factor

The harvest is truly great, but the labourers are few, therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest.” Luke 10:2

A little more reflection on the above quoted Jesus’ statement seems to establish the fact that God is having an urgent need—the need for a sufficient, selfless and faithful God-sent labourers to be used for the harvest of the already ripped souls, and also, as channels through which He gets His will done on earth, in every area of the affair of mankind—and which calls for an urgent attention.

And the statement establishes also the fact that God, in His wisdom and love for mankind, has, by Himself, device a workable solution to meet this important urgent need.

And what is this workable solution? It is simply Intercession or/and Prayer of Intercession

  This is the channel Heis a has o ordained to use in Prayer and the Ministry of the Word (Teaching and Training), to raise, establish and send, through the help of the Holy Spirit (The Lord of the harvest), His ordained efficient, effective, selfless, faithful and fruitful labourers into the harvest of souls, and for the establishment of His will on earth.

It’s on this note Jesus charged His early disciples, as He is giving us today a mandate, especially at NBINet, to

…PRAY the Lord of the harvest to send out [by Himself] labourers [those He has already prepared, proved] into His harvest. (Amplify mine) – Luke 10:2

And it’s based on, and also in prompt response to the above and other Christ given instructions, such as, Matt. 28:18,19, to God-given clear insight and inspiration received from Scriptures, includes: Psalm 2:8; Isaiah 59:16; 62:6,7; Ezekiel 22:30; Acts 6:4, and Paul’s Holy Spirit inspired charge in 1 Timothy 2:1-4, and a repeated burden given to the General Missions Coordinatnor, in the person of Olaitan Ezekiel Segun, this Commission came into being, precisely 31st December 1993, with the vision…

To BE AN INTERCESSOR (as one of the Labourers), who will, through regular prayer of intercession and spiritual warfare, create room for the Holy Spirit, the Lord of the harvest, to produce, raise and send other and more effective and fruitful labourers (Intercessors and soul winners) into His harvest;

To RAISE, around the worldthrough teachings and trainings (the ministry of the Word), efficient and effective, faithful and committed Intercessors; and

To MOBILIZE,  via different mediums, across nations, aggressive Intercessions and Spiritual Warfare, in drawing down God’s strong hands, to the pulling down of Satan’s strongholds, and to the releasing of God’s eternal purpose and plans upon, and in behalf of individuals, families, local Churches/Christian Ministries and Christian leaders (the Body of Christ, at large), and nations and their leaders.
