He further highlighted things to know before harvest can happen, saying that; "seed must be planted before it could be harvested, one must plant on the right and a good land so as to attain the right growth (Mathew 13:3-9), if you plant anything without considering the land you may not reap anything and the amount sowed is the amount harvested" (Galatians 6:7 ; 2 corinthians 9:6).
Talking about growth, the Clergyman said any people in the church today are just counting the number of years spent in the church, meanwhile they are not growing.
According to him, there are partial growth and also total growth, saying that no one grows without the grace of God.
