God's Own Labourers

For the kingdom of heaven is like a land owner who went out early in the morning to hire men to work in his vine yard. Matthew 20:1

What an awesome thing to know that  as Christians, we are God' own labourers. We all may not have been called to labour under the fivefold ministries of the body, but certainly are co labourers in Christ.

As doctors, lawyers mechanics, business men and women, road side vendors we have all been called to labour with Christ for the advancement of the kingdom of God here on earth.
it’s of great importance we begin to start seeking God in regards to this truth.

As someone running a small business who is a Christian you need to learn how to join yourself with God's scheme of things. Get into His vine yard. Do not wait to be called into the fivefold ministry before you start labouring with God.

Ephesians 2:10 said we are His workmanship. Note that this scripture didn't say they are (the preachers, Apostles, Prophets, Evangelist and Pastors). It said we are, which is inclusive of you working at that law firm, government or private hospital, you running that crèche or business. It’s time to get into a partnership with God in labour. This is His will for us all as His children.

As you go through this, this morning make up your mind to labour with God.


Prayer: Lord Jesus, I come to you today as a (Mention the name of your occupation) and I ask that You show me specifically how to join with You in labouring for the advancement of God' kingdom here on earth. This I ask for in Jesus mighty name. Amen!

The Stronghold of Pride

Psalms  73:6  Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.

Friends nothing causes a man to rebel against God's word like pride does.

The average man has a picture of self sufficiency in his / her heart, I want to do this all by myself. Relying on someone to get something done is a no, no.

Most of us as redeemed as we may appear to be, struggle with the strong hold of pride. We cannot afford to have someone say they were part of our success journey. We want all the credit.

This reality is one reason we tend to always want to do something even after God must have asked us to stand still.

This same pride is what causes us to often refuse to take our issues to God even after He asked us to bring our burdens to Him. We have indirectly bought into the idea that God help those who help themselves".

Pride won't allow us to take seriously God' instruction for obtaining rest in a particular area of life we’ve been trying to obtain for years.

Due to the nature of our present society many of us are not comfortable going with God's plans for achieving our set desire simply because the process eliminates our own effort.

God does not need your help in getting you to the destiny He had arranged for you before He called you to be on earth.

The delay most of us experience while expecting some things from God could be linked to our own pride of wanting to help God out.

Often times God wants His work in our live to speak for itself and not us trying to explain it.
While it’s good to always have a plan on how to get something done let’s not forget to give room for the purpose of God concerning that thing

For many are the plans in a man' heart, but the counsel of the LORD shall stand"
