11 July 2014; Mat 9:35 to Mat 10

11 July 2014; Mat 9:35 to Mat 10

The harvest is plenty but the labourers are few.

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” (Matthew 9:37-38 ESV)

Pray to the Lord - that you will be sent.

I have not fully recovered from the need to do things slow. Just teach, work on passive income (forex seems good but there is no consistency guarantee). Forex can be done at home, but it needs time to trade but there is no surely a few thousands a month.

I guess I am tired - very tired to continue to work on technical stuff. Not seem to be able to handle the stress when things don't work and enjoy the success of getting it work (mentally tired).

The work and the assignment in Christ is the harvest - when harvest come, there is no time for rest for there is a limit of time the harvest has to be gather.

Am I for the work? What is it to start here?

Pray is the start. Be compel just as Jesus is compelled by compassion for the lost.
Be empowered. All authority is given to the disciple of Christ (Mat 10). Power to overcome disease, the despised, the demon pocessed and death.

And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying; give without pay. (Matthew 10:7-8 ESV)

Open my eyes, touch my heart and strengthen my physical body for the works in Christ.

There is no need for any passive income. Clearly in Mat 10: 9-10

Acquire no gold or silver or copper for your belts, no bag for your journey, or two tunics or sandals or a staff, for the laborer deserves his food.
(Matthew 10:9-10 ESV)

The labourers in the harvest field need not to have money to buy food - the harvest in itself provides for it.

Am I ready? Again it all start with prayers, seeking the Lord of the harvest, that I and my family will be sent with authority like sheep among wolves, but assure that the grace of God is sufficient for us.
