Word of wisdom: They then said what are we to do, that we may be working the works of God? John6:28
Life point
So many times, I have said to the Lord, Father, what do You want me to do? If You will just show me what to do, I will gladly do it.
I was a doer.
All anybody had to do was show me what needed to be done, and I did it. And I did my best to do it right.
But what frustrated and confused me was when I did something right, and it still did not work.
I had not yet learned that unless the Lord builds the house, they labour in vain who build it. Psalm 127:1
The people in John 6:28 wanted to know what they needed to do to please God. They wanted to know what to do in order to work the work of God.
What was Jesus’ answer to these people? This is the work (service) that God asks of you, that you believe in the One whom He has sent John 6:29.
When the Lord first revealed this passage to me, I thought He was going to show me how to finally be successful in doing His works. And in a sense, He did. He told me “Believe “
You and I think we are supposed to be achievers, and we are. But the way we achieve is to first believe. That frees us from worry and reasoning and enables us to live victorious blessed lives.
God has work for us to do, but faith must come first, and works will follow.
When done in faith, works are easy, and God gets the credit instead of us.
We are called believers not achievers. Our first and foremost work is always to believe! And you must believe to achieve! Hallelujah to the Lamb of God!
Prayer
Lord help me to believe to work Your works to achieve Your purpose for my life and generation in Jesus mighty name!
