Work! What do you mean work?


What to say to church folk who are not working or making money on purpose:
Gen 3:19 says "By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return."  Keyword: Sweat also known as perspiration which is formed due to the body releasing water as a self cooling mechanism. This usually happens as a result of working, making an effort, or taking action to achieve the desired result of making money to buy food, clothing, and shelter etc. You are supposed to work. Even Jesus worked. Jesus wasn't lazy! Jesus was a go getter! He was putting in work in sandals and had 12 followers with him and today he has millions of followers because he worked what God had already laid out for him to do. There is no way around work. You must work. You must take action. You must give effort. Sometimes work is painful. Oftentimes your grateful.

Yes! God is able to do anything and everything however, how are you going to get results without working when he said it was mandatory in the very first book of the  Bible. I guess he has already laid it out for us and that we have to trust him with every step we take and with every drop of sweat we can because we do it so he can get the glory.  That's it! We have to give him glory because we fell from glory in the beginning right? Psalm 34:2 "I will glory in the Lord, let the afflicted (those in pain or grief) hear and rejoice!" Hah! So, while I am giving God the glory with an attitude of gratitude and enthusiasm I will attract people and they want to know what type of drug I'm on.

I already work, so what! That may not be enough! Goals have to be accomplished. Maybe that's the problem. No Goals, No Action. Jesus had a goal to save humanity. You can see those results even to this day. Did Jesus save your world? He most certainly can. Setting a goal that you believe in and taking action to get results.
