He has come to manifest the victory that One wrought out on Calvary and bring it into life. I don’t know about you, but I can’t let myself off by saying, “I’ll sow and somebody else will reap in the next generation.
I prefer the outlook of Jesus when He dealt with an impossible woman who was an adulteress and everything else, the woman of Samaria, and found in her a fruitful harvest field. When those disciples came back to speak to Him, He said, “Lift up your eyes. You say it is four months till harvest. I say that harvest is here, right there if you lift up your eyes and see it . . . by faith.” It is there! Reap it! Reap it now! That evidently was the emphasis of His message there, wasn’t it? Maybe you will not all agree with me there, but I say God has put that into me all the years of my life. It isn’t enough just to scatter the seed. The Holy Ghost does more than that and there is more implied in Him being the Power for service within me as well as the Producer of holiness.

Norman Grubb (1895 - 1993)
Read freely text sermons and articles by the speaker Norman Grubb in text and pdf format.Was a British Christian missionary, writer, and theological teacher. Despite having a Christian upbringing it was only at the age of eighteen that Grubb seriously began to consider what it meant to be a Christian. It was a conversation with a family friend that challenged him to think more deeply about his faith, and from that point on he became committed to evangelistic work. While recovering from his bullet wound in 1917 Grubb was handed a tract about the Heart of Africa Mission and the work of C.T. Studd in the Belgian Congo. After reading this tract he felt a calling to join Studd in his missionary activities.After Studd’s death in 1931, it was learned that he had left a letter appointing Grubb as president of the ministry he had founded, World Evangelisation Crusade (W.E.C., WEC International), in place of himself. Grubb however thought it would be better to be called secretary instead. W.E.C. grew from one mission field with 35 workers to a worldwide mission operating in over 40 fields with thousands of workers from around the world, all living according to the principle that all needs will be supplied by God with no appeals to man. The mission continues to this day under the name of Worldwide Evangelization for Christ.
