Recently,
I have seen many people sharing a great missionary’s post about the need for
laborers on the mission fields of the world. I agree 100% with what this great Missionary is saying. There is so much work to do! I doubt many people have been able
to see the enormous need for missions in Africa and other parts of the world
like I have; and I agree that there are so few Fundamental Baptist College
Graduates that are going into missions today.
The
Lord spoke in Matthew 9:37-38, "Then saith he unto his disciples, The
harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray
ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into
his harvest.”
I’m sure that many Christians have prayed this way for years, but some are seeming to imply that either the Lord isn’t answering this prayer or Christians aren’t praying enough for laborers.
So the question remains: Where are these laborers that we have been praying for?
Could
it be that the Lord is actually answering this prayer and has been for many years now? Could it be that we have asked the Lord to
raise up laborers to reach the lost with the gospel, but we don’t fully see it? Could it be
that He actually has raised up an army of laborers for His harvest, but we
missed it? Could it be that the Lord has answered the prayers of His people,
but He did it in a way that we didn’t expect? Could it be that the Lord has
answered this prayer by raising up the national pastor?
Where
did the Lord say the laborers had to be American?
Maybe the Lord has answered
an entire generation of Christian’s prayers...
Maybe the answer to this prayer
is pictured below...
