Diligence and a steadfast attitude are great qualities to have in the Kingdom of God. This is never more relevant than in the reach for souls!
I believe Paul said it best when he penned the words, “I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Even though he spoke here of a determination in his own relationship with Christ and the need to continually renew this “new” (spiritual) man. We need to take heed to this declaration when it comes to our hunger and drive to reach the lost.
There cannot be delay in our burden, or lack of passion in our prayer! For the hour is late and the call to the harvest is great! We hear The Spirit saying to The Church: “The harvest is truly great, but the labors are few.”
Jesus was warning His disciples of the great gulf that would exist, between those that would need a witness and those that would be available to work in the field of labor. It wasn’t a lack of numbers Jesus referred to however; but a lack of willing vessels; to go!
We must be diligent in our hunger to reach souls and steadfast in our witness to effect souls. The harvest requires saints that will be willing to press a little; push a little; be lead of The Spirit and go into the their field of labor (family; classroom; coworkers; friends).
When you realize that no one else can reach those that you can reach; no one else can testify and influence those you can influence; it is then that we are struck with the understanding, that The Spirit is saying to us personally, “The Call”, calls for you to go!
