“We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.” 2 Corinthians 6:1

We are living in the most crucial time in human history. We live in a time where being just a day-to-day Christian is not enough. If you are living in this time of the world and you are comfortable living as a ‘normal’ Christian, you are making a very big mistake.

God never called us to be just Christians; He is not in search of Christians anymore. He is in search of kingdom carriers and purpose fulfillers.

All around the world there are lots of Christians but the kingdom carriers and purpose fulfillers are very few.

We have been made co-workers with God; engaged with Him in His work. There is no higher honor than for a man to be engaged in doing the same things which God does, and participating with him in accomplishing his glorious plans.

We are partners with God in this work of grace.

1 Corinthians 3:9 says,

“For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s husbandry, ye are God’s building.” 

As co-workers with God, the Father’s business is automatically our business. The Father’s business ought to top our scale of preference; it should be our utmost priority.

As co-workers with God, the expansion of God’s kingdom ought to come first in all we do.

In Matthew 9:37-38, Jesus communicated His heart to us,

“Then saith he 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.” 

The work needs labourers. This is why every Christian has got to take up the call of being co-workers with God.

The benefits of the kingdom would only be experienced by those who go about the Fathers’ business. Matthew 6:33 says,

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” 

The blessings of life are tied to the kingdom. Those who go after the kingdom would have the blessings go after them. There is a demand on you as a co-worker with God.

DECLARATION:
I recognize the demand on my life as a co-worker with God. I am fulfilling purpose.
