In his slot during the 20th night of the Fasting Praise and prayer Crusade, brother Theodore led the community to pray to the Lord of the harvest to send workers to His harvest field. To this end he provided some biblical background by making clear that might is manifested on the battle field.
In the Old Testament it is the battle field, but in the New Testament it is the Harvest field, it is the world. It is the World. From Bible passages like Mat. 13:38b Rev. 5:9, 7:9, 11:9, 14:6, Ephesians 3:15, Acts 5:42, 20:20, Colossians 1:23, brother Theodore revealed that the harvest field of God consists of at least 12 dimensions. These include:
- Every individual
- Every family
- Every house
- Every footpath
- Every street
- Every road
- Every village
- Every town
- Every tribe
- Every language
- Every people
- Every nation
God wants to raise mighty men and send them to these different dimensions, so that they bring a harvest, for they must all appear before the Lamb, brother Theodore added. He explained that the value the believer gives to the blood of Jesus is measured in terms of the people he leads to Christ. He then disclosed that every believer of CMFI can be a missionary and go to one of these dimensions.
Brother Theodore pursued by outlining some domains were we can accomplish mighty deeds from the example of the Lord Jesus in Matthew 4: 23-25. Mat. 9:35. He disclosed that the Master went from place to place and in three years He covered 498 localities. First reach to the religious by preaching in the synagogues before reaching the lost by preaching the Gospel. On this, he commented that any missionary that refuses to use the literature to reach first to the religious will not make it. The Master also healed the sick and cast out demons with a 100% success. Brother Theodore further highlighted that the Peter, like Jesus, had 100% success in healing the sick because they all prayed. Prayer magnifies your gift, while prayerlessness reduces it, brother Theodore underscored. The Master’s ministry spread to many territories, He mobilised crowds to preach the Gospel, He called disciples, He made disciples. Brother Theodore then highlighted the following domains to accomplish mighty deeds:
- Itineration
- Preaching, reaching to the religious
- Preaching of the Gospel to the lost
- Healing the sick
- Casting out demons
- Mobilising crowds to preach the Gospel
- Making disciples
- Church planting
- Following of young converts
He urged the saints to beat the Master in these domains, for indeed, we have been given the power to do even greater things. Plan mighty deeds and accomplish them to catch the eye of Heaven, brother Theodore said.
