NEW WORLD / HARVEST TIME

Pr. James Victor Lubwama

Isaiah 60:17-18 (NKJV) 

“Instead of bronze I will bring gold, Instead of iron I will bring silver, Instead of wood, bronze, and instead of stones, iron. I will also make your officers peace, and your magistrates righteousness. 18 Violence shall no longer be heard in your land, neither wasting nor destruction within your borders; but you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.”

1- New World

God is going to create a New World this year. A new world signifies your complete everyday life cycle from home to work or school, church, shopping spree and back to the starting point, your life concerns and the surrounding. 

When God creates a New World, He completely transforms the way you live from; shopping in kiosks to departmental stores, taking your children from struggling schools to better schools and others. He is going to change your friends, income, location, financial status, clients, and business connections and give you a whole New World. God is not going to create a new planet, you will remain where you are but all things will be new.

In Isaiah 60, God created a New World for this man because he had good but not honourable things as God desired, so he exchanged wood for Iron and silver for gold which are valuable. In creating the New World, God is going to exchange your situations. Why is God exchanging? In everything God does, he is seeking out a soul. If you still resemble your fellow struggling mates, they won’t admire you and if they can’t admire you, they can’t follow you. People follow people they admire, and that’s why God is going to elevate you – to bring the lost back to him.

God appears in us. When he heals you, you become the exhibit to testify that he heals. People won’t believe that God heals until someone is healed. The gospel is confirmed by Miracles. Jesus said in John 15:24; “If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin.........”

The world will have no excuse if God transforms you.  You will be on top because a person on top is clearly identifiable than the one below. You will be a reference point – an exhibit and the gospel will spread. God is going to do everything to see that people are saved in these later days. During your transformation, people will draw close to you wanting to know how it happened and in the process; they will accept Jesus as their personal Saviour.

2- Harvest Time

This is a year of harvesting what we have sown the previous years. Harvesting is not only going to be in 2015 but this year marks the start of the harvesting era. Prepare for the harvest, ready your granary. During harvest time there is; ripe food for consumption, dry food for preservation and seed reserve for next season. Don’t play around during Harvest time because the abundance of money may usher you into poverty that will affect three generations to come.

In the villages, during a mango season, you come across partially eaten mangoes littered everywhere but that wasteful abundance lasts a small time. If God says we are going to Harvest, keep it in mind that out of the Harvest there is what to consume, store and sow. Don’t just accumulate money on your account, invest it; start businesses, invest in real estate – this equates to a granary. When you get money in this drought period, use the opportunity when the stream is open and flowing, and invest wisely before it dries up.

A wise person can never see hunger again during and after Harvest time. For example if one has a banana garden, He can maximise it by feeding on some, selling the surplus, feeding his animals the peels and using the prunes to mulch the plantation. You need wisdom so that you don’t make losses during your harvest. Some people will play around during harvest time and spend money recklessly. 

When you get money, it attracts a bunch of useless sham friends around you who will praise and honour you so as to siphon your account. People eulogise those who are well off. Don’t give out money anyhow because when you run bankrupt none of them will remember or come to your rescue. Show me a bankrupt person who was once wealthy and I will show you a sorrowful person full of hatred. Not everyone you do good will reciprocate.

Don’t get excited by the fruitfulness, do the needful. Some people make it a priority to spend every cent to the dot; they don’t have a culture of saving. The small amounts of money that we always undermine if collected can yield huge amounts. Jesus taught us to gather the crumbs in John 6:12-13 – “When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. Therefore they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets…….”

The things you see in our church and the structures we have erected are not from millions of shillings starched somewhere but that little money you and I contribute as inspired by the spirit. Aunt hills are not built with a lot of soil, a fleck of soil is carried on the mandible of ants until a gigantic ant-hill is elevated. Your diligence in doing small things will yield big things   

Your job or opportunities can die during harvest. Those who sing praises about you will kill your harvest. David’s harvest almost hit a dead end when people started favouring him over Saul. 1 Samuel 18:7-9 “And the women sang to one another as they played, and said, Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. 8 And Saul was very angry, and the saying displeased him; and he said, they have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom? 9 And Saul eyed David from that day forward”

If you fail to recognise your visitation, you will depart this world without seeing any good thing. Know your visitation and be cautious in whatever you do. Watch out for vision snatchers; don’t divulge your secrets anyhow like King Hezekiah (2 Kings 20:12-18) lest what happened to him happens to you. When you get money minus a plan you become excited and spend recklessly. Don’t be lured by pride to invest in liabilities instead of assets or commodities that appreciate in value over time. 

May God give you wisdom to become insightful during this Harvest period.
