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, there’s the ministry of personal
evangelism, the one-on-one relentless pursuit of
souls until they’re fully won and established in the Faith.
But there’s 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. That’s what happens
through our mass evangelism efforts, our crusades,
campaigns, and outreach programs where we reach out
and haul sinners en masse into the Kingdom.
That’s 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.” That’s salvation, calling people to
Christ, bringing them into the Church. That’s 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? It’s good to
encourage individual witnessing, people going out daily to
tell others about the Lord Jesus. But there are 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.
It’s 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. It’s His work,
and we’re partners with Him. He’ll give you the strategies
to succeed. Anything born of Him prevails, multiplies and
blossoms. That’s the mindset you should have. He said
the harvest is plenty, and we’re His labourers for the large-
scale catch. Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for showing me the power of both
personal and collective evangelism. I’m 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.
