We are going to meditate on a particular portion of the ENHF Vision (Eshcol National Harvest Festival 2007-2020).
Gen 47:23-24 And Joseph said to the people, Behold, I have bought you this day, and your land, for Pharaoh. Lo, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land. And it shall be, as you gather you shall give the fifth part to Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for those of your household, and for food for your little ones.
The ENHF was based on Genesis 41-47 chapters. The Lord visited our nation India in 14 years (2007-2020). This had a great impact on the Church in India.
Before 2006, the Indian Church was so self centred, shrunk within itself like a snail, making none or little progress in missionary activities. The Lord’s visitation created an upside down change in its mission and vision.
Covid 2020 which was the culmination of the Lord’s visitation in India, proved that believers can very well exist and survive in this world without a building Church, without a Pastor with “Ordination” & without a cemetery to bury their dead.
Believers themselves conducted the dedication ceremony of their children, baptism ceremonies, buried their dead, conducted worship services at homes and served Lord’s Supper.
Even though Covid 19 got over in 2021, due to the persecution that is continuing in many States in India, the institutional Churches are still in crisis.
The Lord is teaching the global Church a lesson through the example of Joseph in Egypt.
All the land came under the authority of Pharaoh. Now using this opportunity Joseph reshuffled all the civil and agricultural laws existed in Egypt.
This is the time when the Indian Church has to create the rules for the global Church.
Lo, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land. And it shall be, as you gather you shall give the fifth part to Pharaoh, and four parts shall be your own, for seed of the field, and for your food, and for those of your household, and for food for your little ones. (Gen 47:23-24)
In Egypt all the previous system was gone. The land was vacant . Seeds were not available in the market. The only place where seed was available was Joseph’s storehouses.
He was willing to distribute the seed with conditions. Hereafter 20% should go to Pharaoh’s treasury.
Out of the 80 percent which is left is for the Farmer.
1/4 – For seed of the field
1/4- For your food
¼- For your household
¼- For your little ones.
Genesis 47:23-24 – Application to the Church
The Institutionalized Church system became corrupt and had gone beyond correction. So the Lord had to abolish it completely and bring back the original Church pattern . (Acts 2:42). For the present generation it looks like a new system.
Luk 5:37-39 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. Else the new wine will burst the wineskins and be spilled, and the wineskin will perish. But new wine must be put into new wineskins, and both are preserved together.
Also no one having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, The old is better.
The new system which the Lord has introduced into His Church should be kept intact in the Troop Churches.
Rules to be followed by the Troop Church Coordinator
20% from every Troop Church should be given to the owner . (Pharaoh)
Jesus Christ is the owner of the Church.
20% should be set apart for the OTP (Missionaries to be sent out to other countries as per the command of the Lord Mat 28:19,20)
Mat 28:19,20 Therefore go and teach all Nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things, whatever I commanded you.
Balance – 80% will remain with the Troop Church Coordinator.
It is his responsibility to divide the other soldiers of the Troop Church in the following way.
1/4 – For seed of the field – For starting new Troop Churches
1/4- For your food- Will be helpers in Morning worship, BFF, conducting Gift Schools. And other operations of AOJ
1/4 – For your household – For using as Teachers, Coordinators, Volunteers for all the AOJ operations to be conducted inside the nation.
1/4- For your little ones. Youngsters should be set apart to teach in CBS, They should be given special training to handle the CBS lessons, to conduct Children Troop Churches, Competitions for children, Annual Day Celebrations etc.

| 1/5 | fifth part to Pharaoh Gen 47:24. | To be sent as Missionaries to other Countries | Mat 28:19,20 … go and teach all Nations, baptizing them ….teaching them to observe all things, whatever I commanded you. |
| 1/5 | For seed of the field | Make Troop Church promoters for multiplication of Troop Churches | Acts 2:42 |
| 1/5 | for your food (Gen 47:24) | Keep with you for the new Troop Church which you are going to start (Those who need time to grow & mature) They will be helpers in Morning worship, BFF, conducting Gift Schools. And other operations of AOJ | Mat 6:11 Give us this day our daily bread; |
| 1/5 | and for those of your household, (Gen 47:24) | 1/5 of Troop Churchers should be set apart as Teachers, Coordinators, ( who will mature into leaders like Core Team Members for all the operations to be conducted inside the nation. | 2 Tim 2:2 |
| 1/5 | Food for your little ones. (Gen 47:24) | Youngsters in all the Troop Churches should be set apart to teach in CBS, They should be given special training to handle the CBS lessons, to conduct Children Troop Churches etc. Competitions for children, Annual Day Celebrations etc. | Job 39:19-25 |
If the Church grows in the above proportion it will multiply at a high rate, evangelize nations at a high speed, and will accelerate Jesus Christ’s Second Coming.
The strategy given above is the proportion of utilizing the soldiers for various Ministries. Keeping the Troop Church Soldiers in the same Constituency or in the same place without sending them as missionaries to other places inside the country will make it stagnant.
The seed of the Troop Church only should be sown in the land.
New Wine should be poured into new wineskins. The former method of conducting Churches should be discarded.
Also no one having drunk old wine immediately desires new, for he says, The old is better. Luk 8:39
Old wine drinkers (Institutional Church believers ) will not immediately desire this new wine. They will say. “Old is better”. But in the course of time, (The Lord showed 40 years ) their thinking and attitude will change.
