Memorise:
I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other
men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
John 4:38
Read: John 4:35-38
35 He was a burning
and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36 But I have greater
witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to
finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent
me.
37 And the Father
himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard
his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 And ye have not
his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
Message
Total restoration is possible for those who believe in God.
Beyond total restoration, it is equally possible to be a recipient of uncommon
restoration. An uncommon restoration occurs in a situation where your
progenitors laboured without a harvest, but when you turned up, you received
the reward for all their labours. That was the experience of the children of
Israel. For 430 years, they laboured for Egypt without pay. The generation of
their fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, and others laboured but were
not paid; then came the generation that Moses had to lead out of Egypt. The
very night they were to go, all the salaries of their fathers, grandfathers,
great-grandfathers and so on were delivered to them (Exodus 12:33-36). Have
generations before you laboured without pay? Congratulations! You are the one
to enter into their harvests! All that your progenitors worked for, but never
got, shall be delivered to you in Jesus' Name.
Similarly, in some families, a curse of no reward has been
placed on them. Due to this curse, "labour without harvest" has
become their household name for successive generations. Is that your situation?
Has someone placed a curse of "work without reward" on your lineage?
Today, that curse is broken! All the harvests of your ancestors that they could
not get shall be delivered to you in Jesus' Name. Moreover, this is also
applies to ministers of the gospel. Jesus in John 4:38 says:
"I sent you to
reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered
into their labours."
Labouring and harvesting are two distinct things. Not
everyone who labours receives a commensurate harvest. Within this context, we
can safely say that there are three categories of people: those who labour but
never enter into their harvests, those who labour and get some or all of their
harvest, and those who access the harvest of others, irrespective of whether
they laboured for it or not. This explains why some people, including pastors,
labour so hard and long at some particular locations without any fruit. After
they become discouraged and leave, some others come into the same location and
without doing anything much, they begin to reap what they never sowed. You
shall not lose your harvest anymore! You shall receive your full harvests and
even enter into the unclaimed harvests of others in Jesus Name!
Prayer Point:
Father, frustrate every plan to separate me from my harvest,
and link me up with the unclaimed harvests of those who have gone ahead of me
in my family and in my field of labour.
