Work for the Lord
This is the last hour, and there is no time to
please yourself. You must please the Father
and be working in the Lord’s harvest field of
lost souls because the laborers are few. Then
saith he Jesus unto his disciples, The harvest
truly is plenteous, but the labourers are
few; Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest,
that he will send forth labourers into
his harvest (Matthew 9:37,38).
There is much work to do today in the
Lord’s vineyard, so you must give Him your
all. For whosoever will save his life shall
lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for
my sake shall find it (Matthew 16:25). Your
reward will be eternal life, and you must offer
that same reward to as many souls as possible.
Paul said, Even as I please all men in all
things, not seeking mine own profit, but
the profit of many, that they may be saved
(I Corinthians 10:33).
You will suffer in the flesh when you seek to
please the Father, but God will always be with
you; and He will show you how to arm yourself
as Christ did. Forasmuch then as Christ
hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves
likewise with the same mind: for he
that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased
from sin; That he no longer should live the
rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of
men, but to the will of God (I Peter 4:1,2).
You can’t let anything stop you from pleasing
God and doing His whole will. When you
submit yourself to the Lord as He wants you
to, the devil will have to run. Submit yourselves
therefore to God. Resist the devil,
and he will flee from you (James 4:7). The
Lord gives you the power to trample the devil
underfoot. Behold, I give unto you power to
tread on serpents and scorpions, and over
all the power of the enemy: and nothing
shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19).
Salvation Pleases the Lord
Surely, you now see the importance of
always pleasing the Father, and it all begins
with giving your heart to the Lord. You
will never be able to please God unless you
are cleansed of all your sins because the
Bible says, The soul that sinneth, it shall
die (Ezekiel 18:4). Jesus gave His life so we
could live with Him in Heaven for eternity, so
don’t let His great sacrifice go to waste.
If you need salvation, lift your hands and
pray this prayer with me right now: Oh, God,
save my soul! I know you paid for my salvation,
and I am giving my heart to you today.
You said that if I would confess my sins, you
would forgive me and cleanse me from all
unrighteousness. I believe your divine blood
washes away all of my sins. Come into my
heart, Jesus! Come on in, Jesus!
If you meant that prayer, Jesus is yours.
Now, you must pray, fast and live in the Word;
and if you will be obedient to the Lord in this
last hour, you can expect anything to happen.
The Bible says, Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth
all thine iniquities; who healeth all
thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from
destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness
and tender mercies; Who satisfieth
thy mouth with good things; so that
thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s (Psalm
103:2–5).
