INTRODUCTION:
In the last part of this series, we considered the price of leadership. Today, as we continue in our study, may the Holy Spirit Himself teach us and bless us in Jesus' name.
1. THE WORK IS GREAT
God's people must have a vision of the greatness of the work to which He calls them. Even though our task or contribution as individuals may seem small, corporately as people of God, we are doing "great work".
Neh. 6:1-3, I Chr. 29:1, Neh. 4:19, Ps. 111 :1-3, John 5:17, John 9:4, John 14:12, Mt.16:27, Rev. 2:23.
2. SATANISCUNNING
Satan uses his cunning devices to stop and distract the believer's vision and aspiration about the kingdom. When he has tried all means and failed, he can use false rumors. But by great determination and unwavering faith in God, we shall realize God's purpose for our lives and our generation in Jesus' name.
