Work!!!

We live in a society where everyone wants a hand out, everyone is looking to be given something for nothing.  We have been conditioned to have this idea of self entitlement, that's its all about us and that everyone owes us something. Ummmm, excuse me, since when did the earth begin to revolve around you? On what planet do you live where you can get something for nothing? This is not Burger King and you can have it your way. Jesus is the center and in His Kingdom you are to work. People have lost the notion of what working really is and it's time that we all learn.

When you begin to speak on working people shrink back; people don't want to hear that they have to work for something, that they aren't entitled to something for nothing. We have way too many able bodied and able minded people waiting on a government check or running around to play the lottery to get something for absolutely nothing at all.

The even sadder thing is that people even expect this from God. Since when did God's Kingdom start revolving around you? Since when did God center everything He did around you? Yes, He died for you, that's true, but don't get too arrogant, because though it was for you, it was ultimately for the Kingdom's sake and for the Father so God Almighty could receive back that which is lost. He didn't save you for you, He saved you for Him and for His name's sake. Stop coming before God like He owes you something. We in God's Kingdom are the owners of nothing but the stewards of everything and God expects you to work. God does not want nor desire any lazy children in the Body of Christ and those who fall into this category better get it right or else they will be discarded like dross. Since when did a lazy warrior accomplish anything for God?

A blessing is not about to fall out of Heaven and hit you on top of the head, like an apple falling out of a tree, there are things that God requires from you and one of them is to work. The Holy Bible still says in 2 Thessalonians 3: 10"If a man will not work, he shall not eat." So what are you doing sitting down and laying around all day long, everyday. No one owes you a dime and God for sure doesn't. You want to something? Work for it. It's as simple as that.

And don't get confused, just because you have a job, does not mean that you are working; if you show up late and leave early, that's not working. If you stand around and wait to be told what to do instead of taking it up upon yourself to go the extra mile, that's not working, if you do the bare minimum, if that, then that's not working. Get down on your knees and ask God to give you a spirit of servant hood and to teach you how to work. Get rid of that secular thinking, that you're entitled to something, you're not! You're not entitled to anything. Everything belongs to God and He gives it to whom He pleases. If you want to be the one who receives what God has in His hand, then work, it's that simple.

God Bless!!!
