In the year of the Lord, 1998 in Oudtshoorn, I, Joseph, had a dream…this dream was about  “God seeking a man…” I was stunned and amazed at this request and enquired in prayer about the meaning to this. While studying the meaning of this, I was led into a vision and “I saw myself standing in the form or shape of a ‘Moses’ and a hand with a scroll appears from heaven. This scroll was presented to me with a loud voice, saying ‘Run with this scroll’! I questioned how can I run, if there is no platform to run on. I was then filled with fear that I might fall because of no platform to run on. Due to my reluctance to run, for a second time the voice but this time more demanding said: ‘RUN WITH THIS SCROLL!!!’ I then obeyed the voice cautiously by putting out my one foot. Miraculously a tile appeared under my foot. This led me to place my next foot before my other foot and similarly a tile appeared. Then the voice from heaven said: ‘DO NOT FEAR, BUT RUN WITH THIS SCROLL’.

This cry by God to this generation has provided the impetus for the greater revelations concerning the end of time. As a result of this more revelations followed by latter saints that we share in months and years to come. Operation Harvest that follows is one of the accounts that followed after this revelation.

 An end-time vision was received by Bro Joseph Ruiters September 15, 2001. On this date prophet Joseph had a visitation and encounter with God he heard that the Lord told him it is “Harvest time”, which was followed by words “you’ll reap where you have sown and you’ll harvest where you have never sown before.” Two years later he joined the conference in the USA where Paul Keith Davis shared his vision about the angels that gather and the corporation between heaven and earth to harvest.A review of this has brought us to that place to understand that Operation Harvest is an end-time cause with the emphasis on the Final Harvest. The harvest is designated as the closure or consummation of the ages in which reapers or angels will be released to labour in the fields for the ingathering – this is according to Matthew 13 & 24. Matthew 13 refers to this end-time cause, as “…the harvest is the end of the age.” This is a season of harvest; a harvest of souls and a harvest of promises.

This resulted in an operation named the Harvest – if you are putting the two words together, it spells Operation Harvest. However, he is fully persuaded that God is the giver of this ordained revelation and shall also execute His end-time vision, where we are only co-workers in establishing His purpose for this generation we shall serve. Through this platforms we are only laying the groundwork for a wave of harvest (the next revival). We believe there will be a harvest of harvesters.
