Working Hard, Or Not?

Working Hard, Or Not?

It really is senseless to work so hard from early morning till late at night, toiling to make a living for fear of not having enough. God can provide for His devoted lovers even while they sleep! - Psalm 127:2 (TPT)

There is nothing wrong to work hard. The Bible teaches us to be diligent. But the motivation is MORE important than the action.

The fear of not having enough causes one to worry. Worrying means division and distraction. When we worry, our attention and desire for God will be divided and distracted.

In fact, worrying is self-centred. Resting, on the other hand, is God-centred. When we rest, our attention and desire for God will be directed and focused.

Worrying causes us to provide for ourselves as we live in the absence of the Father. This is why you toil from early morning till late at night for fear of not having enough.

Resting causes us to trust God to provide for us as we live in the presence of the Father. This is why a child is always at rest when it comes to finances, because he knows that his father will always provide.

God provides for us while we sleep. Resting releases God's providence, because Grace is received through Faith. You either worry and hinder the grace of God in your life, or you rest and accept the grace of God in your life.

Worrying is self-centred as you depend on yourself.

Resting is God-centred as you depend on Him.

Before your child, be a father.

Before your Father (God), be a child.

A Generation Transformed By Fathering

Nobody expects to sit at a spiritual reading booth hearing about their relationship with their father.

But today's central theme is on that.

A generation is not transformed by signs and wonders, though I love these. A generation is transformed by fathering.

This is why tremendous miracles often take place in Indonesia but there isn't much transformation. Because we are focusing on the wrong area.

Fathering is the key to a transformed life. I believe this is why the enemy focuses on distracting the fathers from their highest call, which is fathering.

To learn fathering, we must first learn to be sons. Sonship is the most important aspect of a Christian.

You can perform miracles, signs and wonders. You can give to the poor and needy. You can move strongly in the prophetic. But the moment you don't comprehend sonship, your actions might appear right but your motivations will always be wrong.

Without sonship, one cannot be a good representation of the Father. Only fathered fathers father.

You can share tons of testimonies to me about the works of God and I will not be moved by you unless you are a father who walks in sonship identity.

The works of God do not prove that you are a man of God. Anyone can be a miracle worker. But only sons can father like Him.

The day you lose communication with your kid is the day you need to re-evaluate your understanding of sonship.

As a father, today is a reminder that I must stay in communion with the Father so that I can stay in communion with my son.
