The Farmers’ Joy

The Farmers’ Joy

Farmers are delighted when rain falls at the right time and in right amounts. Where I grew up the prayer of every farmer was ‘let it rain’. The coming of rain brought joy. When rain came, not only farmers became alive. Trees and plants turned green, frogs croaked, birds sang and insects chirped and buzzed. Children rejoiced as they played outdoors at the onset of the rain season  and encouragingly sang ‘Go ahead fall so we can have something to eat’. 

The rain of the Holy Spirit is falling (Joel 2:23). Rain is however wasted unless the farmer:

>>Knows the opportunity. Fill yourself with the knowledge of God

>>Steps out. God is only pleased by faith.

>>Builds a team. You cannot do it alone or with people just like yourself.

>>Thinks long term. Lay the foundation for the future.

>>Gives something. The measure of giving indicates that of the harvest.

>>Focuses on causes. Thirst  for a better relationship with God not just his benefits.

>>Is patient. .  “…that ye be not sluggish, but imitators of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises (Hebrews 6:12)”.
