Today I found out a good friend of mine got promoted to run a big company. I have told her that I pray for her often but now I feel an even greater urgency to pray for her because her life is about to change. When God puts us in high places of visibility we must realize the great responsibility that goes with those assignments. Therefore, we need to gather the entire armor of God and put it on before we go out in the open. In addition, we need the prayers of all the people who love us.
I want to encourage you to pray for your friends that are in the business world running companies and working in Corporate America. They need our prayers to sustain them as they do God’s work in the field of business. Corporate America is crying for laborers and those of us called to work that field must be ready to harvest those souls for God’s Kingdom. Today, I would like to share this devotional that asks us the question: Are you one of God’s workers? Enjoy!
Are You One of God’s Workers?
#210
Matthew 9:37-38 (NLT)
He said to his disciples, “The harvest is so great, but the workers are so few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send out more workers for his fields.”
Jesus said those words after being with multitudes of people who went to Him with their problems. He was only one and He saw the great need of having more of Him on earth. As we become born again, when we ask Jesus to come into our lives, we become God’s laborers and workers of His field. The harvest is God’s, but He needs us to work it for Him.
Most of us consider ourselves good workers. In fact, we welcome and look for opportunities for promotion. As workers of the Kingdom of God, our attitude toward new opportunities should be the same, and we should ask ourselves some questions. Are we doing a good job for God? Are we bringing in the harvest? Are we looking to be promoted in the Kingdom of God? With God our jobs are not just a title. In His Kingdom, the higher the position, the more responsibility we have with people’s lives. Jesus said, “And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all” (Mark 10:44 KJV). The higher we go in God’s positions, the more we have to serve others.
Therefore, let’s ask God for more workers to help us with the great task we have ahead. But also, let’s ask Him to help us be the best workers we can be for His Kingdom.
