Harvest Time


The Laborers are Few
Read: Matthew 9 : 36 - 10 : 4
" the harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest send out laborers into His harvest."

Harvest Time
About two thousand years ago, Jesus had clearly state that the harvest are plentiful but the laborers are few. Today is the same. The harvest are plentiful but the laborers are few. We can tell that it is harvest time when the crop is right for picking, we can tell if it is harvest time when we see people who are weary, lost and  wandering start looking for answers on the wrong places.

The Effect of His Work


He Extends His Hands and Reach Out
Read: Matthew 9 : 23 - 35
"And Jesus went about all the cities and village, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people."

The Effect of His Work
Jesus had come to this world with a purpose. His mission is to save the sinners and preach the gospel of salvation, and about the kingdom. His work varied from one ministry to the next ministry. In today's passage we can see how He demonstrate His authority by restoring our life, opening our eyes and enabling us to speak. We will also see how people responded to His work.

Healing and Restoration


At the Helm of His Garment
Read: Matthew 9 : 18 - 26
"If only I may  touched His garment, I shall be made well."
But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, 'Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well."

Healing and Restoration
All of us needs healing and restoration from time to time. We need healing on our external wounds, internal wounds and spiritual wounds. And after we have been healed, we may also require restoration on our life's glory and be replenish of the strength that we may need for our daily lives. Jesus can do both, all we have to do is seek Him and ask.

By His Will Alone


Through His Words Alone
Read: Matthew 8 : 1 - 13
"Jesus out His hand and touched him saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed."
"Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you." And his servant was healed that same hour."

By His Will Alone
Most of the times, we prevent a miracle to happen in our lives, not that it doesn't happen anymore, but simply because we have misplaced our faith and trust where it should properly belong.

Be A Good Tree

A few Good Men
Read: Matthew 7 : 13 - 20
"Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."
"Therefore by their fruits you will know them."

Being a Good Tree
Life is a choice. We can choose to be a good tree or to be a bad tree. Few people choose to be a good tree, for it is hard and full of trials. A good tree needs nourishment, needs trimming and needs grafting ones in a while. But a bad tree grows on its own, though it needs nourishment but it doesn’t requires trimming and grafting, it wants to be left alone on its own accord. He is the master of his soul, the captain of his ship. That's why many people chooses to be a bad tree rather than being a good tree.
