The Large-Scale Catch

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind (Matthew 13:47).

In soul winning, theres the ministry of personal evangelism, the one-on-one relentless pursuit of souls until theyre fully won and established in the Faith. But theres also the large-scale catch. The Lord Jesus, in our theme verse, likened the Kingdom of heaven to a net cast into the sea that gathered fish of every kind.

Picture a net thrown into the sea of humanity, drawing in people from every walk of life. Thats what happens through our mass evangelism efforts, our crusades, campaigns, outreach programs where we reach out and haul sinners en masse into the Kingdom.

Thats what the Master describes in Matthew 13:47-48; our deliberate, organized effort to reach and bring in multitudes. It says, Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away (Matthew 13:48). Thats salvation, calling people to Christ, bringing them into the Church. Thats the drawing in of the harvest.

So, as a cell or fellowship group, as a church, zone or ministry, when are you casting the net? Its good to encourage individual witnessing, people going out daily to tell others about the Lord Jesus. But therere times we must plan and act together to reach whole communities, cities, towns, and nations with a clear, strategic mission to bring them into the kingdom.

Its time to organize and reach many en-masse. Set a target where you plan to reach a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, or a hundred thousand people at once and go for it. Perhaps your target is to reach a million people or more; go for it. The Lord will bring it to fruition. Its His work, and were partners with Him. Hell give you the strategies to succeed. Anything born of Him prevails, multiplies and blossoms. Thats the mindset you should have. He said the harvest is plenty, and were His labourers for the large-scale catch. Hallelujah!

Prayer

Dear Father, thank you for showing me the power of both personal and collective evangelism. Im committed to the end-time, large-scale harvest to gather multitudes into the Kingdom. All around the world, the collective soul winning efforts of your children are producing results mightily in the nations, in Jesus Name. Amen.
