12. “The
Lord of the Harvest
Sends Harvesters”

14. REAPING GOD’S HARVEST
2014/2015

15. “All are now deciding their eternal destiny. Men
need to be aroused to realize the
solemnity of the time, the nearness of
the day when human probation shall be
ended. Decided efforts should be made
to bring the message for this time
prominently before the people. The third
angel is to go forth with great power.”
(Testimonies, vol. 6, p. 16.)
ELLEN WHITE ADDS THESE THOUGHT
PROVOKING WORDS;

16. Words of Jesus 2000 years Ago
Jesus statement, “…look at
the fields for they are already
white for harvest” is as
relevant today as it was two
thousand years ago.
(John 4:35)

17. 
“Evangelistic work, opening the
Scriptures to others, warning men and
women of what is coming upon the
world, is to occupy more and still more
of the time of God’s servants.”
(Review and Herald, Aug. 2, 1906.)

18. Lord of the Harvest
Who is the Lord of the Harvest?

19. 
Jesus Christ
is
the

20. Lord of the Harvest
The appearances of Jesus Christ in
the book of Revelation. We’ve seen
Him as the Son of Man and the
Head of the Church. We’ve
worshiped him as the Lamb who
was slain. In Revelation 14, he
appears as the
LORD OF THE HARVEST.

21. Lord of the Harvest
The Harvest of the Earth –Revelation 14:15-16
15-And another angel came out of the temple, crying out with a
loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, "Put in your sickle and
reap, for the hour to reap has come, because the harvest of
the earth is ripe."
16-Then He (Jesus Christ) who sat on the cloud swung His sickle
over the earth, and the earth was reaped.

22. King James Version (KJV)
Chapter Parallel
Matthew 9:38, ”Pray ye therefore the Lord of
the harvest, that he will send forth laborers
into his harvest.” (laborers appear - 17 times)

23. New Living Translation
Chapter Parallel
Matthew 9:38 (NLT) “So pray to the Lord who is in
charge of the harvest; ask him to send out more
workers for his fields.“ (workers appear - 15 times)

24. Young's Literal Translation
Chapter Parallel
Matthew 9:38 (YLT) ”beseech (ask) ye therefore the
Lord of the harvest, that he may put forth
workmen to His harvest.” (workmen appear - 3 times)

25. Weymouth New Testament
Chapter Parallel
Matthew 9:38 (WNT) “therefore entreat the Owner of
the Harvest to send out reapers into His fields.“
( reapers appear - 1 time)

27. Plenty Harvest Compared to Many Souls

34. Jesus saw the Gospel seed growing in
the hearts of the crowd around Him.

35. But who would lead them to
the Savior?

36. Laborers (both pastors and
laymen/laywomen) are needed to
harvest the precious seed.

37. “Those who follow Jesus will be laborers
together with God.”
THE REVIEW AND HERALD, October 30, 1894
Missionary Enterprise the Object of Christ’s Church

38. “Our churches are languishing for the want
of whole-hearted, self-denying workers.
Our smaller churches are losing their
vitality because their members do not seek
to work for those around them. God can
work with few as well as with many, but
personal responsibility does not seem to be
comprehended as it should be by the
members of our churches. Can God bless
the church that is indolent and selfish?”
EGW (The Review and Herald, June 16, 1891)

39. “The members of the church of Christ are to be
faithful workers in the great harvest-field. They are
to be diligently working and earnestly praying,
making progress, and diffusing light amid the moral
darkness of the world;”
THE REVIEW AND HERALD
October 30, 1894

41. HOW CAN THE WORK WILL
BE FINISHED IF WE HAVE
ONLY FEW LABORERS?

43. The Holy Spirit at Work in the
Life of the Witness
Empowers the
Witness (Acts 1:8)
-With authority
(Mathew 28:18-20)
-With boldness
(Acts 4:30-31)
Imparts wisdom
to the Witness
(Luke 12:12)
- Gifts of knowledge
- Gifts of understanding
- Gifts counsel

44. Acts 1:8 “But ye shall receive power, after that
the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be
witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all
Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost
part of the earth.”

46. “But the Helper, the Holy Spirit,
whom the Father will send in My
name, He will teach you all things,
and bring to your remembrance all
things that I said to you.”
(John 14:26)

47. Why does God want to use men
and women to spread the Gospel?
Isn’t the Holy Spirit able to do that
by Himself?
Could the angels do that better
than us?

48. “The testimony of humble repented
sinners—who are guided by the power
of the Holy Spirit—may persuade other
sinners like no angel could do.”
Right Answer

49. Not everyone is called to mass evangelism.
For example, the stories of Andrew, Philip and
the Samaritan woman show the power of simple
and passionate testimonies.
We are called to do so.

50. (EGW, God’s Amazing Grace, July 23)
“Behold, I send the Promise of
My Father upon you; but tarry in
the city of Jerusalem until you are
endued with power from on high.”
(Luke 24:49)

51. “We cannot use the Holy Spirit;
the Spirit is to use us… Only to
those who wait humbly upon
God, who watch for His guidance
and grace, is the Spirit given”
(EGW, God’s Amazing Grace, July 23)

52. ”Pray ye therefore the Lord of the
harvest, that he will send forth laborers
into his harvest.”
Matthew 9:38

54. “So Jesus said to them again, “Peace
to you! As the Father has sent
Me, I also send you.” And when
He had said this, He breathed on
them, and said to them, “Receive the
Holy Spirit.”
(John 20:21-23)

55. As the Father commissioned Jesus, so Christ
commissions His disciples. Through the Spirit,
the Father invested Christ with divine power.
Through the Spirit, Jesus likewise invests His
disciples with divine power commensurate with
their earthly assignments. Every necessary
skill, talent, capability, and strength
has been supplied.

56. Jesus
delegated His
authority to
His disciples.
We must also
delegate it to
others. No one
can do God’s
work by
himself.

57. He wants us to become finders of the lost. He
wants us to love and to reach the lost,
regardless of the kind of people they are or
the kind of lives they live.

58. All the resources of heaven
are at the command of
those who are seeking to
save the lost. Angels will
help you to reach the most
careless and the most
hardened.
EGW (Christ’s Object Lessons, cp. 15, pg. 197)
