PHYSICAL LABOUR

PHYSICAL LABOUR

Proverbs 14:20-27

Devotional:- “In all labour there is profit but idle talk leads only to poverty” (v.23) AMP

    

    As important as the first two types of labour are, much more important is the importance of physical labour. As New Testament believers, we must understand the importance of physical labour. God’s word says, “…this we commanded you that if any would not work, neither should he eat” (2 Thessalonians 3:10). The Bible strongly condemns idleness. But far beyond this is the wisdom of getting involved in physical labour

Physical labour is physically getting involved in the pursuit of your assignment. May I let you know that labour is only highly profitable when you are doing it in the area of your calling or the area of your natural ability? There are two reasons why many people’s labour leads to no profit. The first is that many only labour physically and neglect both spiritual and mental labour. Others are specialists in spiritual labour but will not physically or mentally labour. Why a greater number of people will not use their minds? The second reason is when people just labour for income's sake. Until you find your area of natural strength, labour will be equal to struggling in pain (Ecclesiastes 10:15).

With the understanding you are receiving now, I believe you will be able to put your labour rightly. Labour should always be to find fulfilment and then, to gather profit. That is why all of us must have a profit mindset. Be careful of not misplacing this priority (Proverbs 23:4-5). Most people who are making it today are people who work between 60 and 80 hours per week. As a child of God, no one should make it more than you. Arise to discover your part on the earth and labour to reach your destination. Soon people will be serving under you in Jesus name.

PRAYER: LORD, GIVE ME A DILIGENT HAND.

“IF A MAN WILL NOT WORK NOTHING GOOD MAY WORK OUT FOR HIM”
