DON'T WORK YOURSELF OUT OF WORK!

"Jesus got into one of the boats,..that belong to [Peter], and asked him to push off a little from the land". Luke 5:3. My friend the secret of achievement is to NOT Let what you are doing get to you before you get to it. Some people are good at "WORKING OUT OF WORK" with excuses after excuses. In this context, Christ didn't fill out an application or asked permission; He simply boarded and began to preach. Hey hey, your boat is where you spend your day, your office, your taxi, your clinic, your ministry assignments. Jesus says to us "Your work is my work". He is watching you drinking coffee, sleeping, surfing the internet whole day where you suppose to do His work. God doesn't offer or owe you an explanation or reason for everything he asks you to do. Understanding can wait, but .. but obedience CAN'T. Instant obedience and the motivation to perform what is your present assignment will teach you more about God and His purpose in your life. God demands "integrity of faith" in our life, the kind of faith that perseveres in persecution, resists temptation, responds obediently to God's Word, overcomes prejudice, produces good works, controls the tongue, avoid impulsive talk, considers God and His presence in all its plans, depends on God rather than wealth and prayer is your spiritual resource. Brother, I know it's a mouthful. But it's true! DON'T WORK OUT OF YOUR WORK! GOD CAN REPLACE YOU AND ME!! TADA!
