- Mat 9:37-38 KJV Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; (38) Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
- Jos 3:5 KJV And Joshua said unto the people, Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.
- Isa 59:1-2 KJV Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: (2) But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.)
- Mat 6:9-15 KJV After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. (10) Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. (11) Give us this day our daily bread. (12) And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. (13) And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. (14) For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: (15) But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
- Pro 28:13 CEV If you don’t confess your sins, you will be a failure. But God will be merciful if you confess your sins and give them up.
- Pray
On the first day of this prayer chain, we want to focus on the labourers that Jesus spoke about. God will not work through an unprepared vessel. God will not use a man with unrepentant sin in his/her life. If we must be channels of the harvest, we must empty ourselves of any sin so that we can be effective labourer for the harvest.
So pray
- That the Holy Spirit will right now begin to search your heart and life to bring to your attention any sin/s you need to repent from.
- Look at the following list of sins:
- Gal 5:19-21 ISV Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, promiscuity, (20) idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, rivalry, jealously, outbursts of anger, quarrels, conflicts, factions, (21) envy, murder, drunkenness, wild partying, and things like that. I am telling you now, as I have told you in the past, that people who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
- Col 3:5-10 ISV So put to death your worldly impulses: sexual sin, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed (which is idolatry). (6) It is because of these things that the wrath of God is coming on those who are disobedient. (7) You used to behave like them when you were living among them. (8) But now you must also get rid of anger, wrath, malice, slander, obscene language from your mouth, and all such sins. (9) Do not lie to one another, for you have stripped off the old man with its practices (10) and have clothed yourselves with the new man, which is being renewed into full knowledge according to the image of the one who created it.
- Mar 7:19-23 ISV For it doesn’t go into his heart but into his stomach, and is expelled as waste.” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) (20) He continued, “It is what comes out of a person that makes a person unclean. (21) For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil thoughts come, as well as sexual immorality, stealing, murder, (22) adultery, greed, wickedness, cheating, shameless lust, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness. (23) All these things come from within and make a person unclean.”
- 2Co 12:20 ISV I am afraid that I may come and somehow find you not as I want to find you, and that you may find me not as you want to find me. Perhaps there will be quarreling, jealousy, angry feelings, selfishness, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorderly conduct.
- Which of these sins does the Holy Spirit convict you of? Would you humbly ask God for the to repent and for cleansing.
- That God will give you the power to repent from any sin/s He reveals to you without justification, especially the sin of Unforgiveness and gossip.
- Ask God to ignite in you a passion for the lost.
- Ask God to give you divine strategies to reach the lost.
- Ask God to destroy laziness in your life. Lazy people waste God’s destiny/plan for their lives and live in poverty. (Pro 12:24 CEV Work hard, and you will be a leader; be lazy, and you will end up a slave. Pro 19:15 CEV If you are lazy and sleep your time away, you will starve.)
- Ask God to prepare you to receive from Him during the harvest Anniversary week
- Ask God for personal revelations about your own life and future.
- Ask God for revelation about Jesus Christ.
- Ask God for revelations about Buea Community Church. What is God saying to you about the Church?
- Ask God for strength to faithfully pray throughout the week.
- Resist the forces of evil that the Devil is bringing against you. (Jas 4:7 CEV Surrender to God! Resist the devil, and he will run from you.)
- Be thankful to God for your life and all He has accomplished in and through you. (1Th 5:18 KJV In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.)
