God Calls for Fervent Workers with Him ㅡ

“For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.” (1 Corinthians 3:9)

”Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;” (Romans 12:11)

Success depends not so much on talent as on energy and willingness. It is not the possession of splendid talents that enables us to render acceptable service; but the conscientious performance of daily duties, the contented spirit, the unaffected, sincere interest in the welfare of others. In the humblest lot true excellence may be found. The commonest tasks, wrought with loving faithfulness, are beautiful in God’s sight.

Let no one think that he is at liberty to fold his hands and do nothing. That anyone can be saved in indolence and inactivity is an utter impossibility. Think of what Christ accomplished during His earthly ministry. How earnest, how untiring, were His efforts! He allowed nothing to turn Him aside from the work given Him. Are we following in His footsteps? He gave up all to carry out God’s plan of mercy for the fallen race. In the fulfillment of the purpose of heaven, He became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. He had had no communion with sin, had known nothing of it; but He came to this world, and took upon His sinless soul the guilt of sinful man, that sinners might stand justified before God. He grappled with temptation, overcoming in our behalf. The Son of God, pure and unsullied, bore the penalty of transgression, and received the stroke of death that brought deliverance to the race.

God’s servants are to be “not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord.”
God has no use for lazy men in His cause; He wants thoughtful, kind, affectionate, earnest workers.
(Colporteur Ministry 76,77)
