Text: Mark 4:29
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Harvest in God’s Kingdom is not accidental — it is appointed. In Gospel of Mark 4:29, Jesus declares that when the grain ripens, the sickle is put in because the harvest has come. God responds to ripeness, not restlessness.
The farmer does not reap because he is impatient; he reaps because the crop is ready. Ripeness precedes reaping. What feels like delay is often divine development beneath the surface.
Scripture assures us in Galatians 6:9 that we shall reap in due season if we do not lose heart. There is a set time for every seed. Heaven’s timing is perfect and never premature.
Shift your focus from counting days to cultivating maturity. Prepare for what you are praying for. When the grain is fully formed, harvest becomes inevitable.
Prayer Nugget: Father, prepare my heart, my character, and my capacity for the harvest you have ordained in Jesus name.
