Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Gordon B. Hinckley
ITS NOT A JOB I HAVE ITS A LIFE I LIVE
John 5:16
But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I, too, am working.”
LUKE 10:2
Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
Proverbs 14:23
In all toil ( HARD WORK) there is profit, but mere talk tends only to poverty.
1 Corinthians 10:31
So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
When man cannot accomplish something it doesn’t mean that God is incapable of accomplishing something.
GOD KNOWS NO IMPOSSIBILITIES.
Whenever man’s inability becomes merged with God’s divine ability, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE!
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.
KINGDOM PARADOX ON THIS LABOR DAY
YOU HAVE TO WORK HARD TO ENTER REST
HEBREWS 4:11
Matthew 11:28-30 (NKJV)
28 Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am [a]gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”
The role we have is not fight for peace in Jesus because Jesus gives us that. The role is to not be pulled out of it.
You have to Humble yourself
AN UNYIELDING HEART KEEPS YOU FROM REST
You have to know Gods presence in your life
IN HEBREWS FOUR WE LEARN THAT REST IS NOT INACTIVITY
Hebrews 4
Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear ( examine and take serious ) lest any of you seem to have come short of it.
2 For indeed ( IT’S REAL ) the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.
3 For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:
“So I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest,’”
although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
4 For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”; 5 and again in this place: “They shall not enter My rest.”
WHEN GOD RESTED
He entered into the wonderful thing He has worked so hard to create
REST IS WHERE THE SUPER MEETS THE NATURAL
AND WHERE YOU HAVE KINGDOM DOMINION
AND NATURAL MASTERY
ITS WHERE YOU ENJOY IT AND LIVE IT
6 Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience, 7 again He designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said:
“Today, if you will hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts.”
8 For if Joshua had given them rest, then He would not afterward have spoken of another day.
9 There remains therefore a rest for the people of God. 10 For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from his works as God did from His.
11 Let us therefore be diligent ( labor ) to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience
HEBREWS 4:11 (PTV)
LETS WORK HARD TO ENTER INTO THAT REST
