Volume 4 Chapter 2 Page 12

Friday February 16, 2007       26 Shevat 5767 (Hebrew 5th Month)

"God's Full-Time Labor Force!"

 

"Reward Will Come AFTER Harvest!"

 

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>|||<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
John 4:31-38
(New International Version)

Meanwhile his disciples urged him, "Rabbi, eat something." But he said to them,
"I have food to eat that you know nothing about."
Then his disciples said to each other, "Could someone have brought him food?"
"My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work. Do you not say, 'Four months more and then the harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. Thus the saying 'One sows and another reaps' is true. I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor."

Could the Apostle John maybe, have confered with the Apostle Paul through God's 'Spiritual eMail System', Holy Spirit?

Because John was remembering and recording the WORDs of Christ with such accuracy and vivid detail, even to the point what Christ saw at The Harvest, due to the enormous impact which future Believers in Christ were to have for the Kingdom Increase, which God longed and desired for in HIS Grace and Mercy, throughout these 2000 years since John's writing of the Gospel.

HIS Disciples were asking among themselves, "Who brought HIM food, and when did they do this?"

Believers in Christ today, though can see what Christ' disciples could not see then, BECAUSE Holy Spirit gives us the 'Vision and the Understanding of the Vision', something that the majority of those first disciples had not received yet, but would later on the Day of Pentecost.

For it is through the obedient lips of the Apostle Paul which God spoke these WORDs in

1 Corinthians 14:29-33

Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said. And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged. The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.

To tell you the TRUTH, I initially could not put these two seemingly different scriptures together to bring the WORD from Holy Spirit into perspective.

Then it hit me exactly why God spoke through the Apostle Paul so sternly concerning the "Prophesy".

What I soon learned from Holy Spirit as saying,

God's Faithful and Obedient servants, Labor and Strive in the fields together in 'Unison'!
Where they Encourage and Inspire one another, 'In the Spirit and Bond of Love'!

But where those servants, named by Christ as 'wicked and slothful', they labor and work tirelessly, 'Reaping the 'FOOD' of "Understanding and revelation", and then are 'SELLING' the "Fruit" as it were 'THEIRS'.

Where these so called 'SIRvants', "Store UP, the Knowledge", then they PUBLISH that 'FRUIT' under the quise of such 'Revelation" in books they have written and sold, with such titles as, "I heard God Telling HIS Church", or, "Live Victoriously through Faith in God(as I am living)".

That may be why the Apostle Paul wrote in

1 Corinthians 9:18
What then is my reward? Just this:
that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge,
and so not make use of my rights in preaching it.

Let me see now, God's WORD tells us plainly how HE is going to "REWARD" those "SIRvants" on that Day which HE calls "The Settling of All Things".

I ain't no professor or doctor or nuthin', but I do seek to humbly submit myself to the WORD and the Voice of Holy Spirit, surely knowing and understanding this one thing,

God speaks "Consistently" throughout HIS WORD concerning the principle of

'Sowing and Reaping'

God desires Laborers that 'Do HIS WILL!', and not their own will,

which is explained as
'I WILL control my spirit, AND I will set my own place of honor at the banquet table, because
I have brought the 'GOODs' into the 'Storehouse'
and I have 'Kept Watch' over it in my bank account!

PLEASE, the last time I checked God's WORD,

There was NO "I" in servant!

No doubts here or in my mind, Christ WARNS in HIS WORD,

Apostasy IS COMING into the church! WOE! WOE! WOE!

IT MAY JUST BE CLOSER THAN MOST REALIZE!!!

 

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>|||<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

 

Father, the Good News has broken many hearts,
some who have turned away from serving YOU!
Not because the REWARD of their WAGES were short,
but because they sought to steal from the Master!!
May I be Obedient to encourage those who labor,
that together we may be busy in the fields of harvest!!!
Not my will, O'Lord,
but YOUR WILL be done!
All Glory, Honor and Power is YOURs,
it is in YOU, that I find my REWARD!
Amen and Forever!
