Work While it is Day & Canada

ree

When you're a child, you don't much consider the perspective of your parents.


You think about how annoying it is to be nagged about schoolwork, but aren't aware of the heart of the parent who simply wants to see you succeed.


The child is aware of their own annoyance, but can't quite comprehend the love & frustration (even anger at times) the parent feels as they urge them to do their homework again and again.


"What's their problem?" the child might think. "What's the big deal?" they wonder as they plop down to finally face their work.


But the parent knows the importance and is aware of the urgency the child isn't. The parent can see a timeline for a day and a life whereas the child can only see the moment.


The child wants to play their game or relax while the parent knows night is coming.


In this time, every child of God has a project to do. God has given everyone something to build for Him: a family, a child in need of discipleship, a Bible study, a church, a ministry, a business: God has given everyone something.


Last week as I was embarking on a huge holiday meal, He started to unfold the things coming up against people and the work He has given them. He also told me how to defeat those obstacles and finish the work successfully.


Yes, you can do it. Yes, He's with you and empowering you as you work. Sometimes we can hear a verse so often it can start to sound like a cliche. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13


You really only realize the power of this verse when Jesus helps you do something you could have never done in your own strength. I share how He did that for me this week.


The second part of this message is about the church of Canada. Many are talking about persecution. Persecution and the consequences of spiritual negligence are not the same. He’s asking for one specific thing that will shift the entire spiritual atmosphere of the nation. Who will do it?

How Staying Focused Keeps You Afloat

In the last post I wrote about how in the story of Nehemiah, two men called Sanballat and Tobiah were instantly disturbed by Nehemiah's plan to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. 

 

Then they laughed and accused Nehemiah of doing wrong. Nehemiah didn't fight them or go on a tirade defending himself. His answer to his newly formed panel of agitators was to state his unmoving faith in God. Even as they spread falsehoods against Nehemiah, he prevailed. How? He kept his eyes on the One who had given him his project. Focus will keep you on track and even in joy as you work. Keep reading.

Rejecting Every False Prophecy/Curse & Choosing God's Vision

When Sanballat and his buddies realized he could not attack Nehemiah's body, they tried to attack his mind with accusations. When they realized the attacks on the mind did not work, they tried to attack his spirit by having him come into physical agreement with false prophecy of imminent attack and death ("they will come and kill you").

​

What has been falsely prophesied over your work? That it's not a good time to start? That the economy isn't good enough? That no one will like your work? That it will fail? That you're not the one to do it? The enemy cannot physically make you stop but he will try to discourage and discredit you. Come out of agreement with any false prophetic word and come into agreement God's sight for your project. Keep reading.
