As I’ve been preparing my message each week I’ve become increasingly aware that each sermon relates not only to what others are utilising for prayer devotions for our weekly Sunday prayer meetings, but also illustrations that become apparent each week through what people in our congregation are going through in life… Coincidence – I think not!
My own reading, both biblically and through the two or three books that I currently have on the go, has had a definite focus on keeping our eyes open for what God has in store for us. As Matthew 9 says; ‘The harvest is plentiful…’ But are our eyes on the harvest or are we merely waiting for God to bless us?
Over the next few weeks I’m going to share through this blog what Wayne Cordeiro has to say about keeping our eyes on the harvest from his book “Jesus: Pure & Simple”.
In it the author shares how to focus on the One who matters most and take part in the joy and fulfillment that He brings. When we focus on Christ, everything else falls into place. Your relationships. Your job. Your church. Your mission.
