In 2016, God said we have “dwelt long enough in this mount” (Deut. 1:6) & “There remains very much land yet to be possessed” (Jos 13:1)
At the Africa Regional Convention, He told us to occupy till He comes (Luke 19:13)
He is asking us to lift up our eyes and see the land (fields) to occupy (harvest) for Him

5. Scriptural Foundations
“Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.” John 4:35 (KJV)
Scriptural Foundations
“And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:” Gen 13:14 (KJV)

6. First, We Need To See Things Differently
Don’t Say The Harvest Is Long Way Off. It’s Here Already!!!
First, We Need To See Things Differently
The lifeless men you see across your areas of influence are ready to come alive
Your home, community and profession are ready for you to occupy
God Is Ready. The Men
are Waiting. Lift Your Eyes
& Look On The Fields

7. Look Right; See Right …On The Fields (Where The Sinners Are)
When We Make Calling Men Back To God Our Top Priority, We Will See The Harvest

8. Jesus Looked Right & Saw Right
In Mat 9:36-38, Jesus “saw the multitudes” and responded with compassion He was not DISCOURAGED by their state – confused, aimless, without direction
He was FOCUSSED
“I have meat to eat that ye know not of.” Jn 4:32
“I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” Jn 9:4
Isn’t this similar to what Demos saw?

9. Past Failure Is Not A Hindrance. Past Success Is Not A Limitation.
“...From The Place Where Thou Art…”
It Doesn’t Matter If Your Chapter Is Healthy, Ailing Or Dead
Past Failure Is Not A Hindrance.
Past Success Is Not A Limitation.

12. Hindrances To Seeing Right
Seeing With The Natural Eyes Instead Of Through God’s Eyes
The harvest was not physically ready when Jesus proclaimed it.
To the natural eye, Abram saw the wrong land and Lot the choice land.
O Lord

13. Hindrances To Seeing Right
Heb 12:1-2 No three letter word is more destructive. None does so much to alter our destinies. Sin blinds.
We can easily be overwhelmed when we see the enormity of the work instead of the Lord of the harvest.
Overwhelmed by the work

14. What Is Distracting You From Seeing What God Is Showing You?
Hindrances To Seeing Right
Lot was a distraction to Abram, arising from incomplete obedience. God spoke to him after Lot’s departure. Gen 12:4
Are You Seeing The Harvest?
Personal interests and cares of the world. John 4:8; Lk 10:41-42
What Is Distracting You From Seeing What God Is Showing You?

15. Hindrances To Seeing Right
FGBMFI’s Priority is a summary of the Great Commission (Mt 28:19)

To call men back to God
To help Believers to be baptized in the Holy Spirit and grow spiritually

The task is urgent and important John 4:34
