Perseverance, Longsuffering and Endurance – an important element of our life...

We are supposed to be constant in particular activities. What are they?

1) Acts 1/14: They all joined together constantly in prayer... (NIV)

2) Acts 2:42: And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.(NKJV)

3) Acts 20/2: Now when he had gone over that region and encouraged them with many words, he came to Greece (NKJV)

4) Eph. 6/18: praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints (NKJV)

5) Psalm 71/14: But I will hope continually, And will praise You yet more and more. (NKJV)

 Hebrew 10/36-37: For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise: “ For yet a little while, And He  who is coming will come and will not tarry.(NKJV)

 God has a plan for each one of us. He has prepared future for us. I want to fulfil God’s will in my life and I want to reach the best in my life, that which He has prepared – what has been promised. This is connected with timing. There isn’t much time left before our Lord Jesus Christ comes back. How do you spend this short time? Meaningfully? We do not know the exact time of the coming of Jesus, but for sure you don’t want Jesus to come and see you playing computer games or doing something else typical for this present world. How would you feel when He would look at you? Would you tell Him that He came at a wrong time? That you haven’t won the game yet?

Even our schoolmates are interested in the way how we spend our time. They observe whether or not we do the same things as they do or if we are different. Don’t forget that you bear testimony around you even by the way you behave. Of course you know that not everything you do is beneficial. (1^st Corinthians 10/23). Think about that. Whom do you spend your free time with? Which company are you usually in? Bad company corrupts good character (1^st Cor. 15/33). People around you influence you and you influence them as well. You should influence them in good things and don’t be conformed to them. (Romans 12:2) It is very important not to grow weary in well doing. (Revelation 2:3) Because if we fall asleep for a little while, stop and grow weary then we may miss the will of God. You won’t go to hell because you didn’t pray one time, but maybe at that time someone needed your prayer and much more you lost wonderful time with God. Caution – this may become tradition and you may loose your time with God completely. The opposite of being weary is to reap the fruit. If you don’t fall asleep, you will bear fruits. And as you will grow in the Lord the fruit will multiply!!! (Revelation 2/19)

Colossians 1/10: That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; ¹¹ strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; (NKJV)

If you work for the Lord, you will be filled with joy and desce to do more for God.

Finally read this:

2^nd Corinthians 6: 4-10: Rather, as servants of God we commend  ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses;5in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger;6in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;7in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;8through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors;9known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed;10sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.

Therefore have great endurance in all things, do not waste your free time and don't grow weary because the time is short…

God bless You.

Highway Builders

„Go through, go through the gates! Prepare the way for the people; build up, build up the highway! Take out the stones, lift up a banner for the peoples!“ Iz 62/10 (NKJV)

 We are highway builders. So, take your spiritual shovel :-) and start digging. The job is hard but the goal is the greatest reward - the kingdom of God. As you probably know, highways and roads are not built just for the builders themselves. We prepare the way even for others.  And if you are not familiar with the shovel take a different instrument but go ahead and build the highway! One person can't build it alone. And as well we can't build it together if everyone is engaged in the same activity. It wouldn't make sense. All of us should implement each other, be of one mind. We should be connected to Christ to find out how we can prosper in this building work.

Precious Reward

„You shall also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. “ Iz 62/3(NKJV)

Is God calling you somewhere else?

Maybe you know what you are supposed to do, however there are still not enough  people to help you. Therefore God sends you to do a different building activity. Simply, no one else will do it, so it's up to you. You don't have to be afraid because the Lord doesn't guide you into things you won't manage. He will prepare you and equip you.

So, hurry up, start working :-)  

Worker

There will never be enough workers. The Lord needs you because you are dear and precious.  You have a unique task here on the Earth. We all do. Believe that there are powerful things happening in the spiritual realm when you pray and when you do a will of our Father in heaven. God loves His faithful ones and He will reward them openly.

Last Days

„Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the LORD’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it. “ Iz 2/2 (NKJV)
