Many Christians say, It is the Apostles, the Prophets, the Evangelists, the Shepherds, and the Teachers spoken of in Eph. 4:11 that build up the Body of Christ. I am not qualified, and I don’t know how to do it – that’s why they are special gifts, and they build up the Body, and we […]
Coming to Christ to Find Rest for Our Soul and Taking His Yoke Upon Us
The Lord’s call in Matt. 11:28-30 resounds throughout the ages, Come to Me all who toil and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy […]
Coming to Christ with Our Burdens and Learning from This Meek and Lowly One
This week we have been enjoying the Lord’s speaking concerning keeping the principle of the Sabbath, which doesn’t mean that you don’t work for God but rather you first enjoy God, are filled with God, and are one with God, and then you work together with God. How can we bear this sign of the […]
Being Filled with The Enjoyment of God and then Working Together with God
![At the end of the 10 days of prayer in the upper room (Acts 2:1-4) they were filled with the Holy Spirit as the power, and they were filled with the heavenly wine, the heavenly power. In this power and by this power coming from their enjoyment of God they worked as one, one with God and one with one another.

Before God created man He made sure the earth was a pleasant place for man to be – He created the atmosphere, the plants, the animals, and everything needed for man to live. Then, when man was created, all he needed to do is to rest with God and enjoy God, and then to dress […]
Keeping the Principle of the Sabbath by Enjoying the Lord and Resting with Him
When it comes to working with God to build His house, we have a good pattern in Exodus, where we see God’s speaking concerning how the tabernacle should be prepared and built up. In Exodus 31:12-17 though, after the Lord speaks concerning the building up of God’s dwelling place, after He gives Moses the two […]
We Become God’s Fellow Workers by Growing in Life and by Being Transformed
![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/www.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 […]
Doing God’s Work by His Power (not our power) and For His Glory (not our glory)

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 […]
