The HARVEST Festival?

Another opportunity to reach  Out!

This time of the year is very traditional for many, especially in the country side, a time is made to give thanks to God for the fruits of hard labour and farming is a very unpredictable profession to be in with many a sad disappointment dependent on the weather and many other factors such as disease?

In the Holy Bible we find that Pentecost or Shavo’ut was also the harvest of the first fruits and the significance of it seems to many lost with the giving of the Holy Spirit to the early Ekklesia? This harvest signifies that believers empowered by the Holy Spirit will produce fruit in winning others to Jesus!

So which ever way we approach the thanksgiving  or Pentecost, we have the opportunity to invite others to receive Jesus into their lives! Much can be done during the Harvest, than just flowers and food and their is the ability to think up new things to keep the valued introduction and much more going?

Genesis 8:22,   Proverbs 10:5,   Jeremiah 8:20,   Matthew 9:37,   13:30,   Revelation 14:15.

Israel and Jerusalem!

Right to Exist?

If we are believers in the death, resurrection and return of Jesus, we cannot escape the facts about Israel and its Eternal capital Jerusalem? Despite the introduction and the long term acceptance of Replacement Theology in the Christian Church, we still find some passages about Jerusalem and Israel do not fit in to the Christian way?

This is because they are not for the blessings of believers but for Israel alone! God has a plan for His people Israel that is far different than that of the Church, this is a fact that must be recognised for us to really understand the bible!

If we persist with the ideas set out by Replacement Theology we will be lead astray into the many forms of false teaching and doctrines that are being introduced today! The capital of Israel is Jerusalem and when the Lord returns there will be a New Jerusalem for the believers by faith!
