-Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo at Morning Glow, KICC on ‘THE SEASON OF HARVEST’ (Part 8)
Praise the Lord!
This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. It is a day of power, a day of grace, a day of testimony, a day of healing, a day of blessing. He is God all by Himself. Yes, He deserves all our praise and worship this morning.
Jesus, we magnify You, we bless You. You never need any man to make You. You already are God by Yourself. Awesome God, powerful God, glorious God, we thank You. Your Word says, ‘not many wise, not many noble’. Church Gist. You called us, You saved us, You gave us what nobles cannot buy, what the wisest cannot find. For their wisdom became folly since they didn’t find salvation in You.
Thank You for washing us with the washing of the blood. Thank You for writing our names in the book of life. Bless Your people this morning. Let this day be a day to be remembered as You stretch Your hand to touch, to heal, to deliver, to set free. Give someone a remarkable testimony. Give us a revelation, a word in season to the glory of Your name in Jesus name.
Amen!
Welcome to another time in the presence of the Lord. I bless the Lord for you and I trust the Lord to touch you, to minister to you, to give you testimony, to prove Himself as a mighty God. Our God is good!
We are in the season of harvest and you must learn to speak your own season into existence and learn how to really operate in that harvest. For a person to experience the harvest of God, there are certain steps you’ve got to learn to take. Church Gist.Because the Bible made us to understand in Genesis 26:1-5, there was a famine, Isaac wanted to pack his bag and move along with everyone else and run away but God told him not to move. You don’t move with crowd, you move with principles of the Word of God, because you see, the crowd, sometimes will just follow emotions.
Genesis 26:12-18
When you obey God, you will see the blessing follows. When you want a harvest, there are steps you take.
- Recognise your appointed place. God told him, do not leave. Don’t go to that other place, dwell in this place. God told him specifically, stay here, dwell in this place (Genesis 26:3).
- I pray for you today, you will not miss where your harvest is. No one will push you out of purpose, push you out of God, push you out of blessing. No one will push you out of the program of God for your life.
When you want your harvest, you’ve got to recognise your appointed place, don’t forget this. There is an appointed place where you prosper, where you increase. Don’t follow mass movement. God told Elijah to go to the brook Cherith, He didn’t tell him another brook, He didn’t say at that time, river Jordan, He didn’t say river so and so, He said go to the brook. A brook is a small stream, you could practically see the bottom of the brook, some people can see rock inside.
Let me tell you this, there is a kind of place from where they fetched water when I lived one and half years in the village. They had a brook, they will just fetch from it and pour it inside this Africa cooler pot, made of clay and it’s amazing. By the time you will go to the bottom of the pot, the water will be cool, it didn’t have electricity but the water will be cool.
God told Elijah, go to the brook Cherith, there is a place for you this morning and you will not miss that place.
So He told him again, move again from Cherith, go to Zarephath because that is where I have ordained a person to bless you, to feed you. Church Gist. Now imagine, God said Zarephath, it sounds like Sidon and if Elijah was to go to Sidon, he will be out of order, out of point.
I cannot forget the experience I had in the country of Nigeria one time, I don’t know the person I was talking to and I wanted to see the person. I said, ‘I am in Sheraton’ and they began to travel to Sheraton, unknown to them that I am in Sheraton, Lagos, Nigeria. They thought it was Sheraton, Abuja, Nigeria. Two cities with same name but wrong location.
- You will not miss your location in the name of Jesus.
Where you are determined what grows inside you. Where you are determined who sees you. For you harvest, you must be in the right location with the right people.
- I am praying for somebody this morning, God is ordering your steps in this season, to walk into your harvest, to come into your harvest, to rejoice for your harvest, to be blessed in your harvest in the name of Jesus.
If you stay too long where God have said bye-bye, you will miss the next season. That’s another thing. Recognising your appointed place, sometimes, a place is a place of blessing, but then the time may be up and you need to move on. Not only the time, not only the place, some people’s time is up in your life and you could just hold on, hugging and holding onto the good times of yesterday, when God has a better plan.
When you stay too long in a place where God said bye-bye, you miss your season. So God told the children of Israel (Deuteronomy 2:3), Ye have compassed this mountain long enough: turn you northward. Church Gist. God told them, you’ve stayed here for long, yeah, ‘I did miracles here. I spoke loud, you heard my voice here, you saw fire here but I am taking you into new things.’
Jesus recognised the importance of been at the right place at the right time. The Bible puts it very powerful (John 4:4), ‘He must need go through Samaria’. Firstly, maybe you didn’t even realise, Jewish people don’t like going through Samaria because Samaritans were kind of mixed, they treated them badly, the Jews treated them badly. Jesus must go through Samaria.
You cannot receive the favour scheduled for a geographical place if you are not there.
- I pray for you this morning, you will not miss your connection in the name of Jesus of Nazareth.
1982, when we were just a year old in marriage, myself and Pastor Yemisi, we traveled to Italy, from one town to a small village. I used to sell musical instruments and we were going to buy the musical instruments from the factory and then the train we took, apparently, we’ve been told that at a point, the train will be separated. One part will go one way, one part will go the next and then it just happened that, just before the separation, we asked somebody in the train, we are going to so, so and so place, they said, get down here or else, you will go that way and it will take you hours if not days. We could have missed our turning.
- I pray for you that this day, you are going in the right direction, you are coming into the right purpose.
The daughter of Pharaoh was by the riverside at the appointed time to find the basket that carried Moses.
- I pray for you again this day, you are coming into your harvest in the name of Jesus.
Ruth stood before Boaz at the right time in the right place. Imagine if she had stayed in her village, we never even know what happened to Orpah again.
- May you not miss your place of harvest. You will not miss your connection to harvest.
- A good job will not stop you from destiny job. May God connect you to destiny.
God gave Abraham specific instruction to go to a land He has chosen. ‘Get out of your father’s house, out of your kindred (Genesis 12:1-3) to a land that I will show thee’. If he was somewhere else, he would have missed his scheduled blessing.
Ruth did not stay in Moab but moved down to Bethlehem, the place of her scheduled blessing.
- I pray for you, you will get into that place, you will enjoy that place in the name of Jesus.
Jesus instructed five hundred people to go to the Upper room the day He was ascending to heaven. The Bible says, there were five hundred people who saw Him. He told them, go to the Upper room and wait for me. Church Gist. Just over 20% obeyed, 120 people went to the Upper room and on the tenth day, the blessings came, the fire fell, the Heavens opened. Where were the 380 who did not go?
God’s favour and blessing are not anywhere blessings, they are specific. There is a general blessing but there is a generational changing blessing. There is a destiny turning round blessing, receive it from this morning.
- You will not miss your appointed place.
Psalm 66:12
There is a place for your harvest because if you don’t go where God wanted you to go, there is a place of no blessing, you will not stay there in Jesus name.
- The place of no blessing, dried, arid desert land, you will not stay there.
- You will not stay in the place where people plant and nothing grows in the name of Jesus.
Some people have adapted to that kind of place, that is not your calling. You are called to the place of harvest, receive in the name of Jesus.
Then there is a place of some blessing, that is not your calling also, God has called you into fullness. Then there is a land of much, which is good but it is not the best. There is the land of more than enough; there is a place of harvest which is a wealthy place, a place of flourishing and favour. A place of testimony and freshness. Church Gist. A place of healing and glory. A place of the hand of God, a place of the power of God. A place of the testimony of Jesus Christ, a place where the hand of the Lord will manifest in your life and your life will never be the same.
So child of God, there is a place for your harvest. You will not waste your life, you will not waste your season.
There is a person very close to me and then he won the America green card and I felt in his own case, he was not suppose to leave his geographical location. Only trouble came out of that green card. The person who helped them to apply say, sorry, you can’t stay, I only helped you. Then they went and stayed, he has three children, he went and stayed with a family that only have 1 or 2 bedroom, they also have their own children. They ended up fighting, cousins that have been very close before. Family went through trouble, everything was in a mess.
There is a place of harvest for you this morning, you are coming fully into it. There is a place of harvest for your family and destiny, you are coming fully into it and every evil harvests, we are cancelling them this morning. We take authority over every evil harvest.
- Every negativity concerning your harvest, we cancel this morning. Harvest of disappointment, we cancel by the blood of Jesus.
Isaiah 17:11
- This morning, we will not harvest sickness, incurable pain. Every negative harvest, that a man harvests and he brings it home and it is just a heap of nothing, we cancel that.
- Anyone on this altar this morning, you’ve been bringing in negative harvest, today, we reverse it in the name of Jesus.
- Every negative harvest, every bad harvest; harvest of sickness; enough is enough! You will live long, you will live strong. Today, the devil is a liar. All negative harvest, we bring a cancellation to them.
- From this day, you will not harvest and it turns to a heap of nothing.
Jeremiah 50:16
- Everything that want to cut you off from your harvest, we come against it by the blood of the Lamb.
- Anything that will hinder your harvest, today we bring the blood of Jesus against them in the name of Jesus.
- We declare and decree this morning, negative harvests are not your portion.
Psalm 129:7
- I declare and decree, poor harvest is not your portion.
- Every attack on your seed, on your harvest time, we come against them this morning in the name of Jesus. We change your story. The seasons of poor intake, poor results, people you went to school with have exceeded you, everybody you know have exceeded you, today we declare and decree a change of your story in the mighty name of Jesus.
Amos 4:7
There is an attack when it rains on one person’s field and it does not rain on the other.
- This day I declare, something is changing for you.
- As you have come to this altar, the rain you need for your harvest, the wetting of your harvest, the rain you need for your seed to grow, the hand of God that you need for your seed to grow; we call in the rain, let it rain, let change follow you in the name of Jesus.
- Father, do not withhold Your rain from our seed.
- The rain will not be withheld on your life.
- This day, every harvest rain you need shall come upon your land, you will not sow and you didn’t get anything. Bumper harvest in Jesus name.
- Only the blessed can bless. May the Lord bless your hand. May the Lord increase your hand.
Joel 1:11
Where there is harvest failure, there is grief and shame.
- Father in the name of Jesus, everyone on this altar, who have destroyed seed, destroyed harvest, we repent today of whatever has been destroying their harvests. We cry to You this morning for a reverse, a change of circumstance.
- We cry to the Lord this morning, everyone on this altar, I speak into your life today, every of your destroyed harvest, there will be restoration. Church Gist. Lost year will be restored, lost money will restored, lost favours will be restored, lost blessings will be restored, lost testimonies will restored. You will not be ashamed. You will not be put to shame.
- Somebody who is on this altar today, I speak into your life and I declare that God of second chance will give you a second chance.
- Your harvest of field shall not be destroyed in the name of Jesus.
This prophetic word was reversed in the next chapter, Joel 2:25, God said I will restore!
- Every caterpillar, cankerworm, palmerworm, locust attacking your harvest and field, unnecessary spending, unnecessary expenses, things you did not plan for that are consuming your finances, today, we reverse it. Harvest is coming, favour, blessing is coming in the name of Jesus.
Isaiah 16:9
- Father, today we cry before You, we declare and decree, we turn these things around. We declare today that our harvest field is here. Every negative harvest that results in the tears of the Prophet and the tears of the Lord, we reverse it. All that we may have done that may have brought this, we repent, we ask for Your cleansing in the name of Jesus.
- We recover our money, peace, joy, testimony, glory in the name of Jesus.
- Father, we repent today, we take back what belongs to us in the name of Jesus.
- We cancel every negative harvest. We receive a positive harvest.
- I pray for you, the kind of harvest that will overwhelm your life; harvest of joy, testimony, glory, power, breakthrough is coming to your life in Jesus name.
1 Samuel 12:17-18
- Father, every thunder, every phenomenal that will scare us away from our harvest, we repent of whatever wants to bring it. Every threat, every lie, every attack that will scare a people from their harvest, we pray today, we receive our victory over it. We will walk in our harvest.
Isaiah 17:10-11
- I lay hands on people this morning who have harvested incurable pain and sickness, they are coming out of it. It is no longer their harvest. They are bonafide citizens of heaven. They are children of God, we break the power of negative harvest. Receive your healing and deliverance in the name of Jesus.
- Anyone who is going through a dry season that is disturbing your harvest, I prophesy in the name of Jesus, that dry season is over!
There is a harvest that is destroyed by locust. The worst kind of grasshopper, green looking, when they enter a farm, they come like a million. Most times the farmer just takes his shirt and leave because it is over. But this day, every satanic locust, every swarming locust, every attacking, demonic locust, every army that was sent to destroy your harvest field, today, we are reversing it.
Joel 1:4
Four kinds of attackers. One attacks the fruit, the second attacks the leaves, the third attacks the stem, the fourth attacks the root. Attackers of the fruits to destroy the produce, attackers of the leaves to destroy what makes the fruit possible because the leaves photosynthesis, like cooking the food and sending it to the stem, the middle where the tree stores the food before distribution and then the root.
- Every business, everything your hand have been laid on, I come against all the locusts, the palmerworms, the cankerworms, the caterpillars, I come against every destroyer destroying what belongs to you. I cancel them with the blood of Jesus. Somebody is rejoicing sitting someone that things have not gone well for you, we reverse it this morning.
- We declare that your fruit will stay, your harvest, blessing will stay.
- From today, you will go out with joy, you will be led forth with peace. The mountains and the hills will break forth with singing before you in the name of Jesus.
Hosea 8:7
There is another negative harvest where people sow and when they got there, the thing is standing, trees without fruit, beauty without prosperity, packaging without results.
- Father, everything we sow will come to fruition, we will long enjoy our harvest.
PROPHETIC DECLARATIONS:
Jeremiah 12:13
- You will not be ashamed at your harvest, rather you will rejoice because there will be a harvest.
- I stretch hand to somebody and I declare that there will be a harvest, a good harvest, a harvest of restoration; lost year restored, lost blessing restored.
- There will be a harvest of protection because no weapon formed against you will prosper.
- A harvest of victory because they fight you but they will not overcome you and they that be for you shall be against them that are against you, they are more than them. Chariots of fire will rise for your sake, warrior angels will rise for your sake.
- I prophesy a harvest of mental life; ideas, creativity in the name of Jesus. Divine ideas, creative ideas, insights, books, songs, visions.
- I prophesy into your life this day, mental harvest. A harvest of good things.
- I prophesy into your life today, emotional harvest; peace, joy, happiness, long-suffering, goodness of God, gladness, receive in the name of Jesus.

Anyone on this platform who have been harvesting sickness and pains, I lay hands on your body right now and I release health and healing. I command sickness to leave you. Come out of that bed of languishing!
- I speak to your spirit man today, may you harvest joy, peace in the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Harvest sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, harvest the voice of God, the leading of God, the direction of God. Harvest clarity, harvest Romans 8:14, as many as led by the Holy Spirit, they are the sons of God. May that be your harvest. Every step you take, you will hear God leading you.
- Harvest today, financially, finances to flow to you. The river of finance to open up to you and flood your life with abundance, with testimony and glory.
- I speak into your life today, there will be such flooding of your finances in the name of Jesus.
- I see a couple of people who are trying to tie up property matters, I declare and decree, it is agreed, it is settled.
A good harvest is coming to your house. We’ve cancelled this bad harvest, we’ve taken authority today. Testimony follows you, glory follows you, breakthrough follows you.
Let me close with this powerful positive Scripture, Galatians 6:9 – Don’t loose heart, a good harvest is coming, the one that will gladdens your heart in Jesus name.
