READ: John 4:34-42
“He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.“ – Proverbs 10:5
You must have a megachurch because your harvest field is the world. God sent us to the whole world. If we had a small field to harvest from, then we could not expect a large quantity of harvested fruits.
The fact that the entire world is to be reached implies that the harvest of souls that we will bring in must be very large. It will definitely be a major portion of the world’s population. If a major section of the world’s population is to be saved through the preaching of the gospel, then every church should be bursting at the seams for lack of space. Remember that there are over six billion souls out there waiting for us to reach them with the gospel.
You must have a megachurch because the biblical example of churches had thousands of members. Is the early church not the best example for us to follow? If the early church had three thousand and five thousand people, should these numbers not serve as a guiding post for us? Indeed, these numbers are recorded in the Bible so that we may know what to aim for.
You must have a megachurch because having a large church means that more souls have been won to the kingdom. In a large church there will be more services, more altar calls and more opportunities to be saved than in a small church. Is it not the aim of every minister of the gospel to win souls to the Lord? Is it not an extra added blessing that a megachurch leads to the salvation of many people who join it?
