All Things Work Together for Good
“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” — Romans 8:28 KJV
Do the Work of an Evangelist
Timothy was a pastor and not an evangelist. Nevertheless, Paul told him to do the work of an evangelist. Why? Because he knew that without evangelism, people would not encounter Jesus and be saved. What about you?
Bearing Fruit with God’s Word
Everything earthly is temporary, including money, although some are useful. Get divine wisdom, get wealth and other possessions. However, use all of them for God’s glory and not to set your heart on them.
You Shall Reap What You Sow
“Where are you sowing now?” This question isn’t about who sees or doesn’t see your work. It’s personal. Are you sowing in the Spirit by engaging in spiritual activities that’ll build you up in Christ — such as prayer, Word study, Christian book reading and fasting? Or are you sowing in the flesh by using your body as an instrument of unrighteousness?
Do Everything Without Complaining
When you don’t understand why God tells you to do something, it’s not the time to complain to Him. You only have to do it as you trust Him. See, God isn’t only your heavenly Father. He’s also your leader. That means there are things He knows that you don’t know, and just because you don’t know something doesn’t give you the audacity to disobey Him.
Your Work Will Be Revealed by Fire
Your work will be revealed by fire on the second coming of Christ. Whether you build it on the foundation of Christ or with gold, silver, hay, wood or straw, God’s fire will reveal it. So if you do God’s work shabbily, men will not see it, but God will see it. There’s nothing hidden before God. Even the motives of your heart are plain before Him.
Without Jesus, You Can Do Nothing
We all know that there are some people in this world doing marvellous things, and yet they aren’t born again. So does it mean Jesus is lying? No. What Jesus meant when he said, “Without him, we can do nothing,” is that when God weighs people’s works, those that are relevant before Him are those Jesus is involved in. This is why effective kingdom productivity heavily depends on your intimate fellowship with Jesus, and ministers can attest to this truth.
Unnoticed Lazy Attitude
Watch your life closely. Check your attitude. What are you doing that’s creating an atmosphere of laziness in any area of your life? It could be excessive sleeping, overworking, or lack of prayer. Check it and solve it by applying God’s wisdom from the Word.
Don’t Stay Relaxed With Your Past Successes
God knows all that you have. He knows what you can do with what you have now that you may never believe it, even if He tells you. Don’t belittle yourself. Don’t stay relaxed with your past successes, as little or enormous as they are. They are gone and are in your life archives. It’s time to forget what’s behind you and reach forward to what’s ahead of you.
Faith Without Works Is Dead
Express your faith by accomplishing acts of God’s love with intentionality. For God is pleased by such deeds and will reward and give you more provisions to do it abundantly. Don’t make your faith dormant. Put it to work.
The Pride of Life
When a believer brags about the things he has and built without giving credit to grace, he takes God’s glory unto himself, and that’s terrible wrongdoing which can attract severe punishment from heaven.
The Heat of Living a Visionary Life
If you don’t know why God brought you onto this earth, it’s time to go back to Him to reveal your purpose to you; so that you’ll not live a haphazard life, even as a Christian. But if you know yours and are doing it, I guess you oftentimes encounter the heat of living a visionary life in your days. That is to tell you that the battle isn’t physically easy but divinely effortless.
