Be About His Work

Be About His Work

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome

…This same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen himgo into heaven (Acts 1:11).

More than ever, you must take your participationand involvement in the things of God veryseriously. Commit yourself to God’s vision. His vision is soulwinning; He wants the whole earth to be filled with theknowledge of His glory as the waters cover the sea. Hence,everything you do must be geared towards winning souls for Jesus Christ; it’s your calling. Stay focused and committed to it.

Make no mistakes, He’s coming back again, and Heneeds to find you busy, doing what He told you to do. Hesaid to His disciples, “If ye love me, keep my commandments”(John 14:15). If you truly love Him, do His will; live for Him.Don’t let your life be conditioned to this earth. Let Him comeand find you doing what He’s called you to do.You may ask, “How soon is He coming?” Very soon!

It doesn’t matter if it’s in a matter of days, weeks, months oryears; as long as you’re in fellowship with Him, walking inthe light as He is in the light (1 John 1:7), when He comes,you’ll be ready. You might just be winning souls on thatday, or distributing Rhapsody of Realities when that trumpetsounds, but you’ll hear it. The Bible says, “In a moment, in thetwinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shallsound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shallbe changed” (1 Corinthians 15:52).

Put away every distraction and be afire for the Lord,fulfilling the ministry of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18-19).Let God, and His work of kingdom expansion, be all that you live for. One day, you’re going to stand before the Judgment Seat of Christ, and give account for everything He instructedyou to do (2Corinthians 5:10). Let Him say to you at the end,“...Well done, thou good and faithful servant...” (Matthew 25:21).

FURTHER STUDY:Matthew 28:19-20:||Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. ||

Luke 21:25-27: || And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. ||
