A Time for All to Work

By A. Smith

A. SMITH

Of his remnant people God has said, “The abundance of the sea [people] shall be converted unto thee, the forces [wealth] of the Gentiles shall come unto thee.” Isa. 60:5. God’s church is his highest appointed authority upon earth. When, therefore, the church appoints a certain time in which to do a special work, such appointment is, indirectly, the call of God to his people. Such a call is that for the Harvest Ingathering campaign. At that time God will move upon the Gentiles to give of their wealth to his cause. If you are not ready then, brother, it may be that when your convenient time comes, the Holy Spirit will be flowing in some other channel, and you will be excused.

“It shall be when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee.” 1 Chron. 14:15. The time and place for us to work are in God’s appointed time and channel. “Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power.” Ps. 110:3.
