Resource Persons in the United Kingdom Revival Labour

 
Luke 15: 11-32 (NLT) – The Story of the Lost Son - “ To illustrate the point further, Jesus told them this story: “A man had two sons. The younger son told his father, ‘I want my share of your estate now before you die.’ So his father agreed to divide his wealth between his sons. A few days later this younger son packed all his belongings and moved to a distant land, and there he wasted all his money in wild living. About the time his money ran out, a great famine swept over the land, and he began to starve. He persuaded a local farmer to hire him, and the man sent him into his fields to feed the pigs. The young man became so hungry that even the pods he was feeding the pigs looked good to him. But no one gave him anything. When he finally came to his senses, he said to himself, ‘At home even the hired servants have food enough to spare, and here I am dying of hunger! I will go home to my father and say, “Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. Please take me on as a hired servant. So he returned home to his father. And while he was still a long way off, his father saw him coming.
Filled with love and compassion, he ran to his son, embraced him, and kissed him. His son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against both heaven and you, and I am no longer worthy of being called your son. But his father said to the servants, ‘Quick! Bring the finest robe in the house and put it on him. Get a ring for his finger and sandals for his feet. And kill the calf we have been fattening. We must celebrate with a feast, for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found.’ So the party began.
Meanwhile, the older son was in the fields working. When he returned home, he heard music and dancing in the house, and he asked one of the servants what was going on. Your brother is back,’ he was told, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf. We are celebrating because of his safe return. The older brother was angry and wouldn’t go in. His father came out and begged him, but he replied, ‘All these years I’ve slaved for you and never once refused to do a single thing you told me to. And in all that time you never gave me even one young goat for a feast with my friends. Yet when this son of yours comes back after squandering your money on prostitutes, you celebrate by killing the fattened calf!’ His father said to him, ‘Look, dear son, you have always stayed by me, and everything I have is yours. We had to celebrate this happy day. For your brother was dead and has come back to life! He was lost, but now he is found!’”
John 4: 31-38 (Message) - It’s Harvest Time – “ In the meantime, the disciples pressed him, “Rabbi, eat. Aren’t you going to eat? He told them, “I have food to eat you know nothing about. The disciples were puzzled. “Who could have brought him food?” Jesus said, “The food that keeps me going is that I do the will of the One who sent me, finishing the work he started. As you look around right now, wouldn’t you say that in about four months it will be time to harvest? Well, I’m telling you to open your eyes and take a good look at what’s right in front of you. These Samaritan fields are ripe. It’s harvest time! “The Harvester isn’t waiting. He’s taking his pay, gathering in this grain that’s ripe for eternal life.”
Matthew 9:36-38 (KJV) – “But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. 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.
The Lord is the owner of the souls of men. He is the landowner.
The workers He is sending into His vineyard represent all who have been saved (Matthew 1:21), chosen (John 16:16) and commissioned by Himself (Matthew 20: 18-20).
The field of service is vast, which the Lord has called us into. There is a great need for people who seek the correct Gospel of God.
What an encouragement to know that we are part of the workmen in the Lord’s vineyard. It’s a great privilege and with responsibility.
There is a cry in the lands for men and women who are seeking for men and women who will bring them the true Gospel, knowledge of the love of God and the way of salvation.
Matthew 20: 1-7 (NIV) - The Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard - “For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard. He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard. About nine in the morning he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing. He told them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right. So they went. He went out again about noon and about three in the afternoon and did the same thing. About five in the afternoon he went out and found still others standing around. He asked them, ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing? Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. He said to them, ‘You also go and work in my vineyard.”
Prayer
 
Give Us O Lord Thine Unction.
 
·       Give us o Lord thine unction, anoint us for thine work
Arise and set us in motion O Lord the Man of war.
 
·        Baptize us Lord with thy fire, and set our Souls aflame
To burn and shine for thy cause, revive your zeal in us.
 
·        Refine us Lord and cleanse us, clothe us in holiness;
Transform our thoughts and nature, till we your glory show.
 
·       New Hearts, more love, more passion
For Souls in Satan’s train, with hook or net use us still
Make us fishers of men.
 
·       Not gold, not power, not knowledge
Will thy Heavens unlock but prayer and faith and unity
Will bring the latter Rain.
 
·         With tears and groans and fasting, O Lord, help us to pray
Travailing as in birth for Souls, till you revive the Church.
 
·         Lord anoint us again, so we do not see men as tress. Give us ears to hear the cry of Europe and the rest of rest of the world.
 
·         Give us the compassion and love of the Father.
 
 
·         Make me available for the various platforms. Find me Lord.
