Topic: The Clarion Call for Prayer Warriors and Evangelists

"Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest." — Matthew 9:37–38 (KJV)

Bishop Samson Amajene emphasized the urgent need for prayer warriors and evangelists as illustrated in the Gospel of Matthew. Reflecting on Matthew 9:37–38 — where Jesus highlighted the abundant harvest waiting to be reaped but the scarcity of laborers — Bishop Amajene urged the audience to consider the significance of this message in the context of contemporary Christian duty.

He posed a thought-provoking question: What is the harvest Jesus speaks of, and how can we embody His call in our present time? The harvest symbolizes souls yearning to be embraced by the Kingdom of God, underscoring our responsibility to spread the Gospel and nurture disciples worldwide.

Acknowledging the alarming shortage of workers in God's vineyard, Bishop Amajene explored the possible reasons behind this scarcity — whether rooted in distractions, fear, or a lack of awareness regarding the pressing nature of the assignment.

Responding to this challenge, Bishop Amajene echoed Jesus's directive to fervently seek the Lord of the harvest through prayer. By interceding for those unaware of the good news and petitioning for the dispatch of additional laborers, believers are not only requesting divine intervention but also committing themselves to serving as vessels for the Lord's work.

He emphasized the imperative of unwavering dedication to God's service and the call to actively engage in ushering souls into His Kingdom. Encouraging a spirit of unity and faith, Bishop Amajene prompted the community to rise collectively as ambassadors of God's love and grace — embodying the teachings of Jesus Christ.
