The Fruits Of Physical Work        

Friday June 7th

Text: 2 Thessalonians 3: 7 - 12

Key verse: 2 Thessalonians 3: 10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

The fruit of physical work can be seen in a true and holy minister. Paul worked with his own hands to cater for his needs and others with him. He said, “We work with our hands as examples of righteousness to you; the food we eat, the things we purchase. A true and faithful minister engages in various profitable works. If he works in an office, he does not embezzle money, withhold the salary of his workers or under pay them because he wants more money for himself or else you go about preaching and making money through telling lies; testimony of lies. Some preachers tell all kinds of lies to build great cathedrals; the blocks of that building are waiting for you on the day of judgment because you brought it there without righteousness. The beams and pillars of that house are waiting for you in the day of Judgment because you brought them there by lies. You got the money by lies and treachery. You trade on the souls of men as you go about selling anointing oil, handkerchiefs, apron, holy water, deceiving them of miracles at the expense of eternal life.

The projects of a true and faithful minister are godly and commendable including even the clothes and shoes he wears, the house he builds and any other endeavor he undertakes. He gets money in righteousness and holiness. Every tree brings forth fruits after its kind. He does not entangle himself in fake or deceitful ventures for gain because he wants to build a church. Some ministers send people to the garage and filling stations for fund raising, asking people to contribute including the armed robbers who just finished from their duty and came to refill their vehicles; they should drop money to build a church of God. Corrupt work coming from these corrupt preachers. They do not know the holiness of God. Is God so poor that He is asking Satan to give Him money? Why do you go to people whose life you do not know? John said that they did not collect money from sinners for the cause of Christ.

Thought for the day: Physical fruits can be seen in a true and holy minister.

Song for the day: I have chosen the way …

Bible reading for the day: Psalms 9-17
