2 Thessalonians 3:10(ESV)
For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.
One of the Christian’s responsibilities in following Christ is to have a new attitude toward work. So many young ministers want Christ without responsibility. Serving the Lord comes with responsibilities. The Bible never entertain laziness, for you to become a great leader, you must be willing to set the standard for others to follow.
Jesus was not a drop-out. As a carpenter, He worked hard with His hands. The Apostle Paul made tents for a living while he carried on the work that God assigned him. Whatever work a Christian does is done unto the Lord. He should do his best at whatever his trade or vocation. He should be faithful, clean, and honest.
Brethren in Christ, the Bible write in Genesis 3:19: By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return. No matter what you do as a Christian, it is very important to set a standard through your labour that is wealthy of praise in society. It is my prayer that the Lord will direct your heart into the love of God and endurance as you labour for the body of Christ. Praise the Lord!!!
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you for making me fruitful in the kingdom. Help me to use my work to benefit the work of the ministry in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
