Philippians 2:30. “Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.” FOR THE WORK OF CHRIST. They left their high paying occupations – for the work of Christ. They left a favorable situation – for the work of Christ. Their families couldn’t understand why – for the work of Christ They would leave and go so far away – for the work of Christ A call from God is of highest priority – to the work of Christ To tell the wondrous Gospel story – of the work of Christ So never should we hesitate to tell – of the work of Christ People can be eternally saved from hell – by the work of Christ.
Some are called to other lands – for the work of Christ Others to work near at hand – for the work of Christ Some are to reach out to children – for the work of Christ Others to reach the wandering pilgrim – for the work of Christ Some work together united as one – for the work of Christ Some find they have to work alone – in the work of Christ Some are out in the field every day – doing the work of Christ Others are called to watch and pray – doing the work of Christ.
Some pay in their service the highest cost – for the work of Christ Some suffer for years, total loss – for the work of Christ Some labor daily in order to meet needs – of the work of Christ Others spend time doing good deeds – for the work of Christ Whatever the Holy Spirit calls you to do – for the work of Christ Do it heartily, others are watching you – in the work of Christ Whether at home or far abroad – for the work of Christ Do what you do as unto the Lord – in the work of Christ.
“Lord God of the harvest, I pray again this morning for laborers to go into the harvest. I have joy in seeing some we know, go gladly to work in Thy field. Is there another I should be asking to help in the work before Linda and me? I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
