Steadfastness- A requirement for bountiful harvest

Steadfastness- meaning steady, firmly loyal, constant is a major attribute required for soul winning.

Let us look at the lives of the early apostles in the book of acts.

Acts 2:42 “And they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine and fellowship in the breaking of bread and in prayers.”

Acts 2:46 “So continuing daily with one accord in the temple………..

Result- Acts 2:47(b) “and the Lord added to the church daily, those who were being saved.”

After being empowered by the Holy Spirit, the early apostles were steadfast (constant) in prayers and in evangelism and the Lord added unto them daily.

Our Lord Jesus Christ in Luke 22:39 was steadfast in prayers and in doing the will of the father and the result is what we are enjoying today.

Steadfastness is therefore a major key to a bountiful harvest. Making our calling and election sure requires steadfastness.

What has God called you to do? That little step that you have taken towards it has not been overlooked by Him but He requires you to be steadfast. Not discouraged or put off by lack of physical results.

The early church leaders were steadfast in praying for miracles (Acts 4:30), seeing them not as random, occasional events but as worthy evidences of God’s anointing continually glorifying Christ through the church.

In conclusion, let us not grow weary in well doing for we shall reap in due season if we faint not. (Gal 6:9)
