25 Steps to transit from being barren to a millionaire of souls.
God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden to ‘work’ and to guard it. Significantly the Hebrew word Avodah for work can also be translated worship. Adam was to worship God through his work in the garden while guarding it from demonic attack. God took an accountability walk every evening to see how Adam was doing. Sadly, Adam disobeyed and climbed up the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil, fell down and fractured his relational equation with Father God. He died instantly but was buried 930 years later. Paul, Aquila and Pricilla, Cornelius, the Jailor, Lydia, Phoebe and many others while continuing to work in their professions and business, also transformed their workplaces. The Lord commanded us to pray for laborers until we become part of our prayer.
Persistent and ceaseless prayer will not work unless accompanied with persistent and ceaseless offering of lost sheep. The church needs to shift from the policy of containment to the practice of being aggressively interventionist. Setting up Bible study and prayer cells is a cop out (easy way out). In the Scripture cowards are in the same class as idolaters, murderers and fornicators. Focus on setting up a discipleship chain to qualify as a fruitful laborer in the kingdom. The Lord can use a characterless person like the Samaritan woman who bravely went and transformed the very people who despised her.
He is interested in obedience rather than in fulltime but fruitless ministries. The same infallible and Holy God, in His wisdom has placed you, a redeemed fallible sinner, among other sinners, to worship Him through your redemptive work. Stop minimizing Christ as your personal savior, but magnify Him wherever you are, as the liberator of those in bondage and the savior of the world. (Gen. 3:15; Luke 10:2; 4:18; 2Tim. 2:2; Acts 19: 8-12; Rev. 21:8)
