Matthew 9:37: Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few"

Why are laborers still few today when we have many worshippers?

Dear friend, a true worshipper of God will definitely end up a committed laborer for the advancement of God’s kingdom. One cannot truly encounter God in worship and do not contact the heartbeat of God. God has a passion for lost souls and God hates idleness and laziness. He wants the lost to get saved. He paid the ultimate price for the lost to be saved.

We cannot worship God for a certain period of time without catching His passion for service and salvation of the lost. But, how come today, we have more worshipers and less people committed to God’s service and particularly evangelism? My conclusion is that many people today worship God with their lips, but their hearts are still far away. Jesus Himself said that there are some people who worship Him with their lips but their hearts are far away. I believe that’s why they cannot catch His heartbeat. Let see some examples:

(5) Paul the Apostle said in 1 Corinthians 9:16:

“For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!” What necessity of the Gospel and of the Kingdom is put on you? You cannot be a true worshipper without being a committed laborer. Make up your mind to be and to remain a laborer of the Kingdom.
