to be fair, I think it is ok to believe God for Healing, for His Goodness and do things accordingly to what is good before the Lord and also for a great harvest. Just like Jesus Second Coming, are we also not to believe He can come any moment now ? even today ? If that is what you believe it, can you not take a look at what ourselves has been doing? The Outreach programmes must have been pleasing to the Lord. And I definitely must confess that there is a change in spiritual climate even from the people i encounter, including my pre-believing friends, who became more receptive, something which will make me remember 2001. You can also say it is because of the greater efforts by the churches that by God's Grace has brought about part of the climate. They did say, We are going to believe God for the nation. Some of us will sow, some will water but it is God who will give the increase. We cannot determine exactly the number of people who will receive the Gospel because God is the one who determines the increase. Therefore don't make it your responsibility to cause growth. This will give us a greater sense of freedom. All we need to do is to take the responsibility for sowing, for planting, and for watering. God will give us the increase. 1 Peter 4:7-11 The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
