23 Aug FROM THE BEGINNING
God Worked
And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which He had made (Genesis 2:2)
God Works
But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work (John 5:17)
Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. (Psalm 121:4-5)
Jesus Christ Worked
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made (John 1:1-3)
I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work (John 9:4)
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him (Acts 10:38)
Jesus Christ Works
Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us (Romans 8:34)
And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God (Acts 7:56)
Jesus Christ standing is the work of encouragement of a believer, strengthening of a believer in time of need for it is written that if you faint in the day of adversity your strength is small (Proverbs 24:10) and just as Paul the Apostle said , But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead (2 Corinthians 1:9) and in another place For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me. And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me (2 Corinthians 12:8-9) for as it is written I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me (Philippians 4:13). Each one of us needs Jesus Christ to strengthen us in the time of need for it is written that Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16). Beloved Christ you need Jesus Christ for it is written For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ (John 1:17)
The Holy Spirit Worked
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light (Genesis 1:1-3)
The Holy Spirit is the Investigator of every circumstance and situation.
The Holy Spirit Works
Then He answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts (Zechariah 4:6)
The Holy Spirit is the power of the Highest
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when He is come, He will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when He, the Spirit of truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth: for He shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you (John 16:7-15)
He is the Representative of the Godhead now on planet earth
Why You Must Work
So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them (Genesis 1:27)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him (John 13:16)
If God our Creator worked and is still working, who are you or who am I not to work?
And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it (Genesis 2:25)
God can only bless the works of your hands (Deuteronomy 28:12). Therefore, find something legitimate, legal and morally good to do Don’t ever complain that there is no work for as it is written Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest (Ecclesiastes 9:10)
Don’t complain about your small beginning for Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase (Job 8:7) therefore do not despise the day of small things (Zechariah 4:10)
For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat (2 Corinthians 3:10)
There is something for everyone to do – Mathew 25: 35-40) When last did you visit the sick?
Are you a student? Then study, study and study for as it is written for every student of the Bible, every Christian and every believer Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15) so equally as a student study, study and study so that you can be better than the best.
Labour and Profit
In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury (Proverbs 14:23)
Work For Everyone
Then said they unto Him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent (John 6:28-29)
Believe on Jesus Christ
For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved (John 3:17)
Why You Must Believe
He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? (Romans 8:32)
You must believe and equally show your faith through your works for as it is written For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also (James 2:26)
Your Works Are Not In Vain
And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them (Revelation 14:13)
This is the only thing that will follow us the day we die for as it is written Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward (1 Corinthians 3:13-14)
Timely and Important Warning
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:12-15)
Conclusion
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven (Mathew 5:16)
