Praise News
We just returned from Indonesia on 23/5/2013 [Thursday] after ministering in Probolinggo, Kupang [Timur Island] and Surabaya. We thank God for His Truth that sets people free from lies. When God’s Word is spoken [without mixture] it always accomplishes His Purpose. On 18/5/2013 there were 15 young men and women who obeyed Jesus to follow him in water baptism. These believers were baptized when they were babies. Taking this step of obedience has its blessings and also consequences. Please pray for them.

In Malaysia on 5/5/2013 -13th General Election
For the first time I saw such a diligent crowd in my area [Penang] -very early in the morning lining up to cast their vote for CHANGE. It was such a looooooooooooong que. I can see Malaysians rising up and taking responsibility for their nation. We have come a long way. For a long time we have trusted the main party and has just given in. We were taken to be fools. BUT there was a small group of men and women who paid a heavy price and stood their ground and went against the current. They were persecuted and falsely accused and punished for standing up for the people of Malaysia. Today that movement has grown and matured to take over and over take. Change / Ubah / Matram. We love you Malaysia. We desire for you to come out clean; wiped out clean from corruption, immorality, violence, lawlessness, cronyism, and racialism; united as ONE PEOPLE, ONE NATION, and ONE FAMILY.
God Bless Malaysia.

The Purpose of the work


April 29, 2013 - Vol. 8, Issue 17          


Why do we work? Is work a curse from God and a consequence of our sin? How does work fit into God's overall plan for our lives? Let's explore this topic together in today's devotional.
 
We invite you to also view the list of scheduled activities listed on the left to see how you can get involved and keep us in your prayers.  In addition, we encourage you to visit our blog for more news and announcements.  As always, we would love to hear your comments and questions regarding the devotional.  
The Purpose of Work

 "Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to tend and keep it."- Genesis 2:15
  
Growing up in a family that had plenty but did not always steward it well, with a mother who worked very hard but did not demand the same of her children, my attitude towards work was a negative one. I viewed work as something that mean and unhappy adults used to punish children and take the joy out of their lives. I loved to play and have fun, and work always seemed to interfere with those objectives. Furthermore, in addition to seeing work as a punishment, I was also convinced it was a curse. I thought that no loving God could or would ever impose work on children that He loved. In fact, in my mind the one exciting aspect of becoming an adult was that I would be able to choose not to work and that no adult could force work upon me.
 
However, that was many years ago, before my family faced a financial crisis that forced me to reevaluate my life, my priorities, and my attitude, a crisis that caused me to finally reject the spirit of entitlement. Furthermore, that perspective was held long before I ever became a Christian and began to learn God's original plan for work and the true joy of work.
 
For the entrepreneur, work is essential to build a profitable business. But unfortunately, so many entrepreneurs see work solely as a tool that enables them to accomplish their business objectives and get the most out of their employees. For employees, work is essential to receive a salary, but so many employees work just enough to earn only the salary they need. This attitude of work hinders our ability to experience the redemptive power of labor and the joy that it can bring into our lives.
 
Work is not a curse and, in fact, existed prior to sin (Genesis 2:15.) The only impact that sin has had on work was that after sin work became a condition for our provision, while prior to sin work was purely an act of obedience to the Creator and a tool for worshiping Him (Genesis 3:17-19.) Therefore, when we use work solely as a tool for provision, we are operating within the bounds of the law and are under the curse. However, when we see it as an act of obedience and a tool for worship, we are able to experience God's original intention for work, which breaks the curse of the sin.   Work is an activity involving mental and physical efforts that is designed to serve others and express our gratitude to God. It is an act of worship to our God and an expression of our calling and gifting (Ephesians 2:10.) Also, work is one of the ways we can demonstrate our love for God and others. Work does bring provision, but when we limit work to being only a tool for provision we are living under the law. It is when we work beyond provision that it becomes an act of worship which brings us under the power of grace.
 
In their book "Why Work? Called to Make a Difference," Nancy and Howard Olsen state that "work is a gift God has given us. He has divinely appointed tasks for us - tasks which not only glorify Him but also satisfy our needs as well. God's plan for work is a win-win situation."
 
Here some of the benefits that work can bring to our lives:
  1. It allows us to express our purpose which is to worship our Creator
  2. It allows us to serve others
  3. It allows us to provide for our needs and the needs of others
  4. It builds our character
  5. It redeems us from the curse of the law
  6. It enables us to have so that we can give
  7. It is a source of fulfillment and a cure for depression
So, if work has so many benefits, why then do so many people not embrace it? They are either the way I was as a child, looking for a daddy who gives them everything and demanding nothing from them, which leads to the sin of entitlement, or they are not working as unto the Lord and are therefore unable to tap into the rest that Jesus promised.
 
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls." - Matthew 11:28-29
 
My prayer for you today is that God will give you the wisdom to align your work with His will so that you may experience the joy and satisfaction that work can bring.
