TIMELY DIVINE HARVEST

Introduction
We are still cling to the God of Satisfying Harvests as contained in His words for us this month of August-Ezekiel 47:12
Today , we are examining the “Timely Divine Harvests”; to see what God has in stock for us even in time like this. Let’s look first at:

THE UNCHANGING COVENANT OF THE LORD FOR ALL TIMES -JOEL 2:23,27
The message of the Lord to us as His children this morning is that of Hope, Confidence and Assurance in Him and what He can do.
God’s message is relevant for us even this time, for in Him, there is no seasonal variation or affectation by change in time- Psalm 102:27; Malachi.3:6; Heb.13:8“But You are the same, And Your years will not come to an end-Psalm 102:27
What else can keep us going in this world full of uncertainties, hopelessness and failures here and there?
The answer is only found in God’s word “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away- Mark 13:31”
God in His words is saying to us this day 11th August 2024;
Joel 2:23 –“Be glad, people of Zion, rejoice in the Lord your God, for he has given you the autumn rains because he is faithful. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.
 We are commanded to jump for joy and Be Glad- Psalm 30:5

 We are asked to rejoice in the Lord your God( Yes! YOUR GOD)- Hab.318

Why?:
 Because we have a God who is faithful -Psalm 100:5

 Because we have a God who have done it for us He is ahead of us “…..for he has given you the autumn rains….. He sends you abundant showers…”Joel 2 vs 23b

 Because we have God who can do wonders over and over again “….because he is faithful. He sends you abundant showers, both autumn and spring rains, as before.
These are the reasons we are not bothered for our God is involved, He doesn’t forsake His own people (Hebrews 13:5b).
For this we know as His children” Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture- Psalm 103:2”
