Harvest day celebration was a feast that people had to enjoy the ample amount of food with a day off from work. It was usually celebrated after the last crop gathering. Celebrating the prosperity which the Lord provided was harvest day. God has been good to us by providing for us each day. All the work of the fields could not have been done by one person it took one and more people. We have a need for one another. People were not put in this planet to be on their own. Each one person plays a major role in another’s life; two’s. In the creation God said it is not good for man to be alone, and, so we need each other.
Genesis 7
7 And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me in this generation.2 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female
Companionship is a blessing but many have also turned it into a curse, because the damage that two can produce is greater then that of one. Man began to do very evil things after the creation. For many years evil deeds was on the up rise until God had enough that he decided to destroy and rebuild the earth. God sought a man and found Noah to save the good, so he instructed him to build an ark where two of every unclean beast and seven of the clean would come (Gen. 7:7). The ark was a symbol of the church and it was to host the two’s which was the symbol of the unclean man and turn them into seven the symbol of the clean. The beasts were to come in by two’s and in order for they to come in two there needed to be some sort of agreement. Amos said that in order for two to walk together there needed to be mutual agreement (Am. 3:3-6). Agreement is a reaction between two. When there are two of any a reaction takes place; whether it is a lion meeting a prey, roar or God speaking to man a response.
In two’s there are some tremendous benefits acquired. Solomon said that when two work together the rewards are greater (Ecc. 4:9-12). When two are together there is security, comfort and fellowship. If one falls or fails the other is there to pick him/her up. Jesus sent his disciples by two’s and he equipped them with power, now, just imagine some one with the power of God along side another person with the power of God, it would be a double portion manifest. Jesus understood the importance of two’s, because he selected two ponies to ride on when he went down to Jerusalem (Mk. 11:4). To do the Lord’s purpose if a second is available the blessing is greater; this is not to say that God will not bless one if he/she is alone.
