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 […]
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 […]
Building the Church With and Becoming Gold, Silver, and Precious Stones
In 1 Corinthians chapter 3 we can see a profound revelation and a deep experience of God’s building and how to build up the church. We are the temple of God, and we need to take heed with what we build, so that we would not destroy God’s temple (and thus bring in destruction to […]
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/mail.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 […]
Being Sober in Serving God and Doing Everything in Oneness with Him

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 […]
