"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters." Colossians 3:23.
A true story of taking up the duty that lies next to you is the story of the two British soldiers, Lance-Corporals Blake and Schofield, in the film 1917, who are tasked with delivering a message to stop 1,600 men from walking into a deadly trap. While fictional, the story was inspired by director Sam Mendes' grandfather, Alfred Mendez, a Trinidadian and Tobagonian who served in the British Army during the war. The soldiers' journey, facing numerous dangers, highlights the duty of individuals to serve others, even in the face of overwhelming odds.
Now is the time for God’s people to take up the duties that lie next them. The word of the LORD to all is, "Be faithful in the little things; for on the right performance of these hang great results.
Do not leave the work which needs to be done, because it appears to your judgment to be small and inconsiderable. Make up every waste place, and repair the breaches in the church as fast as they occur. Bring no shame to the course of God," one's actions should not dishonor Christ or lower the ideal of God in the minds of others.
Let no differences or dissensions exist
in the church. Let us all go to work to help those who need help. "We are not to speak one word or do one action that will lower in the minds of others the ideal they have of the One who died a death of shame on the cross that He might purchase the privilege of saving His enemies,"
There is a cause for the great weakness in the churches today, and that cause is self. Although it is hard to remove. It must be moved if we are going to be save. Our souls must be wholly sanctified to God. We all need to fall on the Rock, which is Jesus and be broken.
Self must be crucified in every one who shall enter the gates of the city of God. The fierce spirit which rises up in the hearts of many in the church and society when anything does not please them, is the spirit of Satan, and not the spirit of Christ. Do not entertain it, but stay focus to the work of sharing the everlasting gospel.
Hebrews 13:16 says, "Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God."
This is the time to fully return to our first love, and be at peace with God, our fellow men, and
among ourselves! We must show ourselves to be not only Bible reading Christians, but blood washed, Bible believing Christians.
Finally, if we are united to Christ, we shall be united to one another as Hebrews 10:24-25 says, "And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching".
“Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!” Isaiah 31:1.
"Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men." Acts 5:29.
“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.” Jeremiah 17:5.
As you go on your way today, may your faith be strengthen in God and not in the flesh. Have a geart day. Blessings, Blessings, Blessings.
