Galatians 6:9-10 ‘And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.’

DAILY READING; Jude 1; Ezra 9-10; Psalm 95

Rev. John Geddie was a Presbyterian minister from Scotland who was used by God to bring the Gospel to the
natives of the South seas island on the Pacific ocean.
He became the first missionary to the New Hebrides island, which at the time was known for its cannibalism.
Despite the dangers, in 1848, John Geddie, his wife and their missionary team sailed to the island to preach the Gospel.
After the ship that brought them departed, the missionaries found themselves abandoned in a land full of barbarians.
On one of their first nights on the island, hideous shrieks and unearthly wails shattered the stillness of the night. They later learnt that it was the cries of a widow who was being strangled to accompany her dead husband to the next world. Such was the custom of the native people whose lives were steeped in barbarism, moral degradation and evil.

After learning the native language, John Geddie would visit their villages traveling through forests and over the mountains, preaching Christ to the people. Numerous attempts were made to kill him. Stones, clubs and spears were hurled at him, and several times he was injured, but somehow, miraculously, God always protected him.

Rev. John Geddie persistently preached to the people until the light of the Gospel eventually began to penetrate their hardened hearts. After years of patient seed-sowing, John Geddie finally began to see new converts.
Through years of spiritual labor, his ministry made such great impacts on the people that a time came when virtually every heathen on the island had become converted to Christianity..
Though there were no Christians when John Geddie and his wife first landed on the island in 1848, by the time they left in 1872, there were no more heathens. The evil customs had been abolished and the love of Christ now prevailed among the people.

Certainly when we are faithful, we will be fruitful.
If we don’t grow weary in well doing, in due season we will surely reap.
While obeying God’s call, we may sometimes pass through overwhelming attacks and challenges.
However, despite any opposition that may come against you, always be determined to maintain your position in Christ.
No matter what happens always remain faithful in your service to God, keep doing your best and trust God to take care of the rest.
If you keep going the extra mile, despite the many difficulties on your journey, you will eventually arrive at a glorious destination..

As you abide faithful and remain planted in God’s purpose for you, soon you will begin to experience growth.
You character will develop and your spiritual muscles will get stronger.
Sometimes, God will not change your circumstances, rather He will use your circumstances to change you.
As you abide faithful, you will begin to flourish and eventually see supernatural harvest of your efforts.

Understand that it is the enemy’s strategy to use weariness and discouragment to abort your harvest.
Oftentimes the oppositions that come against you are not random. Rather they’re strategic attacks aimed at shifting you from your position so as to miss the harvest coming to you.
This is why we must engage the Blood of Jesus against everything that tries to disconnect us from our harvest.
We must never allow fear, offences, temptations, disappointments or discouragment to cause us to compromise our stand in Christ.
Today, by the Blood of Jesus, let us receive the grace to always remain faithful in our service to God.
No matter the oppositions that may come against us, let us never grow weary in well doing. Certainly, as we remain spiritually persistent and fervent in seeking God’s Kingdom first, all other things will eventually be added unto us. As we refuse to faint or grow weary, in due season we shall surely reap the fruits of all our labors..

PRAYER;
Lord please help me to continue to stand in faith no matter the opposition I may sometimes face. Please grant me renewed appetite for Your Word so that I can draw the strength to always overcome. Certainly, through the Blood of Jesus I have continual victory in Jesus Name.
