Christ did not look to see if they came, He merely commanded, “Follow Me”.  That is the main characteristic of a righteous leader, knowing that the task must be attended even if by himself.  What task are you leaving undone for Christ, because you have failed to heed His call to harvest?

I saw a street that needed sweeping, so i swept it and the local youth joined me seeing the favorable outcome of my efforts, never thinking to ask me why I would sweep a street upon which I do not live.  I saw an intolerable circumstance a grievous plight that turned my heart upside down.  I chose to help and others were left wondering how they could have helped instead of passing bye twice a day.  I saw a man headed for hell, left in the misunderstanding of grace and the forgiveness of his sin, so I told him of Christ and helped him to ask Christ into his heart and now we shall spend eternity together.

This is my America, He is my King of Kings and Lord of Lords, my master, my Father, my friend.  This is my job, not a travesty I seek to hang around the neck of every politician or spiritual leader.  I do not tithe to a church, I tithe to Christ and if you are asking for a membership fee then your heart is wrong and your doctrine in a hopeless twist.  Come to Christ, reap the harvest for it is ripe and the day seeks to end when the work will finish.

We are the workers and the crops are in the field.  How else will they get into the storehouse but we accept the work and get it done?  My God commands me.  My God says that obeying His Commands is the way to show my love for Him.  Obeying His commands then is my greatest worship.  Therefore I will sweep the street that is dirty, knowing that others will likely follow, but even if they don’t the street will be swept.  I will teach them that would disciple for Christ and provide opportunities where they might share the loving Gospel for their consumption, but I will not fret whether they follow for people must be given the opportunity to hear and react to the Truth.  The fields are ripe, I will work them regardless of who joins me, but I know the nature of leadership demonstrated by Christ my King.  If you do the work those with ears to hear and heart to follow will follow.

My country is in disrepair, physically, financially and spiritually.  God provides a way out but it requires that I, the Christian, humble myself and pray, turning away from my sin so that God will hear my prayer and see my actions and turn His face back toward healing our land.  Otherwise we will be overrun by pagans, which is currently happening due to my disobedience and lack of faith.  I will take up the cross, take up the shovel, paintbrush, hose or helping hand and set about the work, knowing that through me God will perform the impossible thing that is beyond my capacity.  Action is demonstrative belief, therefore I will act and know through faith that God will show up.  He always does without fail.  That is one of the thousands of reasons that I love Him so.  I pray for your action this day in the hopeful name of Jesus Christ the King.  May you be where the next miracle begins.
