 There
are times that ministers and gospel workers can become
discouraged or disheartened in doing the work of God.
At
these times, there is a need for reconsecration and a
reviving of vision. The Lord wants to help us during these
periods of life that we might overcome discouraging feelings
and circumstances.
The devil is working hard to hinder those who are giving
their lives for the gospel. The harvest is great and there
are already too few laborers in the vineyard. Let us not let
down or give up, but
let all do as Paul exhorted and "Be not weary in well
doing..."
There is a need for more laborers in the field. It is not
the place of a man or a group of ministers to dictate your
gift or where you are to work for God. The responsibility is
yours to listen to the voice of the Spirit and to respond to
the call.
God is looking for people to work for Him, but He is also
selective. There is a need for QUALIFIED laborers who are
living a life above reproach.
Recently I listened to a message, 'The Laborers are Few,'
that my grandfather, Bro. Willie C. Murphey, preached in 1968
at Pacoima, CA. It proved to be a real blessing and
challenge to me.
If
you are a minister or gospel worker, or if you interested in
the work of God, I encourage you to listen to this message
(linked below).
