Put People First

As soon as I awoke this morning, these thoughts from the Lord then came to me. Labour not for the things of this world, but the things of eternal value.

As soon as I awoke this morning, these thoughts from the Lord then came to me.

Labour not for the things of this world, but the things of eternal value. Where do you put your energies? Where do you put your trust?

The things that we deem most important at times, are not the most important.

Whatever He tells you to do, do it.

These were the instructions given by Mary to the servants at the wedding feast in Cana of Galilee, before Jesus turned the water into wine. — See John 2:5

This was His first miracle. — See John 2:11

What miracles are we negating (missing out on) because we have not listened to the voice of the Lord?

His challenge to us today, is to hear His commands; obey His instructions; put our efforts into those things that He values the most; for the works of His Kingdom are at hand.

Value people over profits and the joy of His Kingdom will remain.

Amen, amen, amen.

If you would like to have a relationship with God through accepting His Son Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, please pray the prayer below.

Dear Heavenly Father. Thank You for sending Your Son Jesus to die on the cross for my sins. I am sorry for the sins I have committed and I ask You to forgive me. I now turn away from all the things that I know to be wrong and I receive Your Holy Spirit and Your gift of eternal life. Thank You for this free gift of Salvation and eternal life. Help me to come to know and experience Your love for me more and more, and to now share the love You have given me with others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

You can send me an email by clicking 'Get in Touch' on the yellow bar at the bottom of the Home or Articles pages.

What next: Once we have started our relationship with Christ – it is important that we continue to grow in our understanding of Him, and experience His love for us on a regular basis. God does this for us as we read the Bible, which I encourage you to do on a regular basis, asking the Holy Spirit to help you understand it and make it “come alive” to you in a very personal way. May I encourage you to do this every day, and to actively pursue those things that God reveals to you. We also need to be spending time with other like-minded Christians on a regular basis, who are also growing in their relationship with God. We gain encouragement from being with other growing believers. Ask God to lead you to a Bible-believing church (or Bible-believing Christian group) that will encourage your relationship with Christ and help to meet your needs. Ask Him, and trust that He will guide you to the place of fellowship that is right for you.

May God both work in you and through you, those things that He desires, as you continue to submit your life to Him each day.
