![Lord, how do YOU want me to work for You and with You? Lord, what does it mean that we are plants in God's farm and precious materials in God's building? Unveil us to see the intrinsic significance of these things and how they are practically related to us. [in the picture: 1 Cor. 3:12, taking heed on how we build!]](https://i0.wp.com/agodman.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/1cor3-12-build-upon-foundation-gold-silver-precious-stones.jpg?fit=300%2C168&ssl=1)
All the believers in Christ have the privilege to be God’s fellow workers, those who work the work of the Lord (see 1 Cor. 16:10) and even abound in the work of the Lord (1 Cor. 15:58). The way to do this is not by seeing the need to do something for God and going […]

In working for God and in doing anything for God’s interest on earth we need to allow God to be the initiator, we need to work by His power, and all the glory needs to be His. Even when God initiates something and we join in to work together with Him, our work and the […]

In working for God and with God we should not initiate anything – we should seek God’s will and simply do His will. We are not here to be God’s counselor giving Him advice and lending Him a hand to help Him in what He’s doing today. No, we are here to be one with God […]

This week in our morning revival we come to a sobering word, something that we see in picture in Numbers 16-18 and then in teaching and practice in 2 Cor. 3. It is, The Iniquity of the Sanctuary, a particular sin committed by the ones serving God and working for God, something that is against […]

All believers in Christ need to be the ministers of the new covenant – it is our privilege, our right, and our responsibility to not only enjoy the Lord but also minister Him as life to others for the building up of the church. We need to come up to God’s standard and become ministers […]

The ambassadors of Christ are those who don’t live by their human life but by the divine immortal life in their spirit, and they have the ambition to please God by living to Him and no longer to themselves. Another qualification of an ambassador of Christ is that he no longer knows people according to […]

In 2 Corinthians we see a particular aspect of the ones who work for God – they are ambassadors of Christ with the ministry of reconciliation (2 Cor. 5:20). To be an ambassador is not a small thing – it is the greatest honor to be the ambassador of the King of Kings, to represent […]
