It Is Time For The Harvest!

United Christian Faith Ministries  From the office of Pastor Glynn Lovell

Greetings Fellow UCFM Members, This is one of my favorite times of the year when I see all the productive farms in my region gathering in their crops. What a marvelous sight to see the bountiful harvest in the fields. Many have been carefully nurtured and pruned to insure that the crop is as perfect as possible. Each fruit, meat product, vegetable must be perfect for it to have a market value. So it is very important that it is planted at the right time and that it is tilled and watered either by God's rainfall or by intervention of the farmer to provide life giving water. Without their care the harvest will be less than acceptable. Occasionally I will pass a field that has neglected animals or crops that are going to waste because the caretaker failed for one reason or the other.

That is just like God's Kingdom. If we fail to offer the Plan of Salvation to our fellow man they will not be selected to enter God's Everlasting Kingdom. If we fail to nurture and care for the flock of God's Select they will wither and die and never be productive in The Kingdom.

Stop and Count The Blessings

In this time of great harvest we sometimes rush to and fro and never take the time to stop and view all the beauty God has permitted us to enjoy. 

Here in my region farmers are gathering in the last of their crops. There are still a few that have fields of beautiful orange pumpkins in all sizes. All the burly tobacco is gathered and hanging in barns. As I pass these barns that are straining to support such heavy weigh, I can smell the pungent smell that tobacco users love.

As I pass apple orchards I smell the sweet aroma of apples that are still awaiting pickers to gather. There are still abundant fields of hay that is ripe for the harvest. The nut crop has been very good this year. The squirrels have worked overtime gathering walnuts, hickory nuts, hazel nuts and chestnuts in my yard. Stop and count your blessings, there are many even if you are having a bad time at this point in your life.

We miss you at UCFM

Many of you log into your Private Ministry Office on a daily basis. Others one or twice a week. Others less frequently. If you are not registered to visit our Public Message Board, you are missing out on one of the great uses of this ministry. On the Public Message Board you can post prayer requests, sermons, ask questions or present Biblical lessons, etc. But more importantly you can fellowship with other UCFM Members. Who knows, maybe there are several that live very close to you.
