Are you not saying in your mind "there are yet four months?"

John 4: 31-38 KJV

31. In the mean while his disciples prayed Him, saying, Master, eat.
32. But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of.
33. Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat?
34. Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to finish His work.
35. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36. And he that reapeth receiver wages, and gathered fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
37. And herein is he that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38. I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.

Luke 19:41-44.

There are 3 situations that makes men in all ages to omit the program that GOD has spoken about long while before unawares and unprepared.

*The first situation is that When GOD makes promises (when He draws the program). It is in the nature of men to put it in their mind. But they always in their mind saying "there are yet four months, and then come harvest."

Amos 6:1-7 KJV.

1. WOE to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Isreal camel.
2. Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: be they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
3. Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
4. That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and calves out of the midst of the stail;
5. That chant to the sound of the viol, and invent to themselves instruments of musick, like David;
6. That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
7. Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.

It's in men to put far away the evil days, and by so doing, they cause the seat of violence to draw near.



*The second situation is that most of the times, men's eyes, whether the believers or non believers is that they do not see, even though they look, though they have knowledge. It's like light is withdrawn from them and so they don't react as they ought to react because they are not moved.
To see, they see, but actually do not see.

Isaiah 42: 19. Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD's servant?
20. Seeing many things, but thou observers not; opening the ears, but he heareth not.
Matthew 13: 13. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.
14. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, by hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand, and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive:
15. For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

Isaiah was talking about the servant that the LORD has chosen and perfected and worked in their lives. But JESUS was talking about the people that have not yielded unto it whether they be believers or non believers, whether they be people that are on the streets. The situation looks alike, they look but they do not see, they listen, but they do not hear, though they know but they do not perceive and that's the reason the things that should've been well prepared for ahead of time, people get into it unawares as it is about to happen even to the world.

*The third situation is that sometimes people figure in their minds that the fulfilment of GOD'S WORD must come in most strange, unusual ways. They do not understand that things would continue naturally and in those natural situations and circumstances, the WORD OF THE LORD is fulfilled. They think it is by strange manifestation or the other.
That was the reason they stumbled at that rock that is "CHRIST" when He appeared. Some of them were asking, "How can this man we knew be the Messiah?" When JESUS comes, no body knows from where HE will land, but this one is a carpenter's son, we know his father, we know his mother, we know his brethren. How can he be the Christ?. And they were offended at HIM, HE became a stumbling stone because in their minds, they've well understood what God has promised, they've well understood the visitation of God through the Messiah but they think in their minds that "that man will fall from Jupiter or maybe fall from the Mars" and begin to operate but they wouldn't know that in nature, GOD allows things to continually, naturally happen until the things HE had said get fulfilled.

In Mark chapter 6:2. And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such might works are wrought by his hands?
3. Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.

John 7:25-27 KJV

25. Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
26. But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
27. Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

They never have in their minds that they could be the ones that'd experience what GOD has said. That's the attitude. They are looking for things that are exceptionally strange not knowing that in the midst of the nature that untold, the Word of God is fulfilled.

Given the facts that the believers are being charged for making known to the gentiles, to lead people to CHRIST. It becomes necessary that we be not ignorant, blind or deaf, but that we must see as we ought to see. We must understand as we ought to understand to be able to guide the people around and to warn them as been charged. It has been given unto us as the instruments of the LORD, the believes that GOD has appointed to hear from the LORD and to give the people warning from Him. It's appointed to the servants of GOD to hear clearly and to tell the people of the world what they should do.
So no person that must be in ignorance.
No person among the believers that must be in darkness.
When we look in the world now, we are able to make some conclusions.

Imagine how it'd be when the "caughting" is drawn (1 Thess. 4:16,17), and you look back and see what you were able to do which grace was given, and you didn't do.
Now is the time for harvest.

Be blessed! Amen...!!!
