Rotten Tomatoes 🍅

Uncategorized

My church children’s ministry leader met with me to ask if I can help her organize regular prayers for the bible camp week coming up in August. We are in January currently. I was blown away by her heart for more power and impact for the children. Praise God!

My heart immediately wanted to say yes but I told her I need to check with God and pray about it. I already have a women’s small group and another prayer group that I’m leading. We ended our meeting with prayer and my heart was greatly moved during our prayer. I sensed that there are many divine appointments coming up with the children during that week in August.

The next morning when I was praying about this matter, I was given these bible verses and a vision:

John 4:35-37
35 Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest. 36 Already the one who reaps is receiving wages and gathering fruit for eternal life, so that sower and reaper may rejoice together. 37 For here the saying holds true, ‘One sows and another reaps.’
In my vision, I looked up high but I saw nothing but clear skies. Then I heard a voice to look down. Lol, I was looking up too high! On the ground all around me as far as I can see I saw tomato plants growing and ripening well. We must get ready now for to reap abundantly and successfully at harvest time. So I’m taking this as a sign that I’m to get involved in the harvest as a sower. Perhaps I will be a reaper too but with a family European trip coming up this summer, I’m not sure if I’ll be around that week. We haven’t finalized our dates yet.

I’m thinking that I’ll be organizing prayers so that the tomato plants are being protected while growing and that during harvest time there are many workers and God’s angels helping with the harvesting of souls. And we’ll be praying that we follow closely with the Holy Spirit for these important divine appointments with Jesus Christ.

As I was thinking to myself what happens to the tomatoes that we don’t get to harvest and bring in; the very first webpage that I opened when I clicked on the Internet on my phone was the Rotten Tomatoes website for movie reviews. Hmm…so these children will grow to become rotten tomatoes.

In our area, these children usually grow up to be successful professionals – future doctors, scientists, academics, teachers, lawyers, business executives, social activists and climbers, political leaders, etc. This realization is hitting me deeply. I better work hard on this prayer assignment.

Jesus, let the little children come to you and I pray that no one hinders them from coming to you! Please help me to get the word out to the prayer warriors with urgency and persuasion. 🙏

6/7/2019 – Praise the Lord! I have finished the assignment and regularly led our groups to pray together for our children’s summer bible camp in our church and community area. Thank you Jesus. Now we wait for you to do what you want. We are raising our expectations!
