1 Corinthians 16:9, A Great Door and Effectual Is Opened

1 Corinthians 16:9 For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.

The great ripe harvest field for souls is emphasized here. There is much work to be done or there is much work yet undone requiring prayer, haste, sowing, and reaping.

Jesus said to His disciples, John 4:34-37 … Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. 

And there many enemies that sought to thwart the gospel work, obstacles, and stumbling blocks in the way. God’s servants are to be vigilant, watchful, on guard that the adversaries, the enemies do not succeed.  May the Lord prosper His work and protect His servants. Amen.
