This is the answer to the question you have been pondering on in your closet about your desire to work for God. But it is not what you had thought the answer will be. You may be near the altar as a Pastor, chorister, Sunday school teacher and a prominent worker in your local church.
Some people came to Jesus many years ago to know his mind about how to work for God. The answer he gave them is the way to go and the secret to spiritual power and a life devoid of crisis and uncertainty!
Who were these people? What were their real motive in seeking the answer? What was Christ's reply that turned full cycle from their expectation?
Let's find out in John chapter 6 from verse 28,
'Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
Jesus answered and said unto them, 'This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hat sent'.
These people had benefited form the free food earlier given and perhaps they thought by volunteering to do one thing or the other for Christ by getting close to him, their need for food will always be met!
If you have been holding a special office in the church for what you will gain then, it is better to have a complete turn around now and give attention to what Christ is saying here.
'Labor not for the meat with perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasitn life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed'(John 6: 27)
If you want to really do the work of God, you must believe in Christ! Faith in Christ is the vital foundation for working for God. If you miss it, you have missed out!
You will not labor in vain in Jesus name. Amen
