As we launch into this new pristine decade, I have a supernatural anticipation of a harvest beyond anything ever experienced or even imagined. All that has gone before simply is seed for the harvest that is coming, and much seed has been planted!
The word I see for this year is Harvest. God speaks often about harvest and when we invest anything (thoughts, words, actions) into His Kingdom, trusting in Him and only Him, it becomes seed and He promises a harvest. He is THE LORD OF THE HARVEST! Expecting a harvest is not a wish but a God-given PROMISE.
“As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, . . . will never cease.” (Genesis 8:22)
Thirty four years ago, on Jan 5, 1986, a handful of us launched out and planted what is now Relate Church. Over the years we have purposed to be faithful to do all we can to build His Kingdom and I’m overwhelmed at all that God has allowed us to be part of. This last year has been a year of transition, and it has truly been a year of WONDER. I couldn’t be prouder of this next generation as the whole team has stepped up magnificently and beautifully.
I know the volume of seed that has been planted over the last thirty four years and therefore, by faith, I see a decade of harvest.
