Let Us Abound In the Work of the Lord
The ministry is God-ordained, yet it is people-oriented
What matters most is our response as spiritually prompted.
We must be divinely-led, not foolishly blinded
Let’s abound in God’s work* as to Him we’re fully yielded!
The ministry demands for complete trust, yet it tests total obedience
What matters most is our faith, coupled with patience and resilience.
We must seek His presence, not just stirred in our own confidence
Let’s abound in God’s work with whole-hearted dependence.
The ministry is hardship-stricken, yet it is blessing-laden
What matters most is our willingness to carry the burden.
We must be a help to the needy, not a hindrance as a leaven
Let’s abound in God’s work, leading others to go to heaven.
The ministry asks for emptiness, yet it promises fullness
What matters most is our genuine humility and meekness.
We must be submissive to God’s will, not upheld by self-righteousness
Let’s abound in God’s work, surrendered to His life-building business.
The ministry is challenging, yet it is rewarding
What matters most is our attitude in toiling and giving.
We must thank God for our calling, not complaining and regretting
Let’s abound in God’s work, counting the cost while faithfully laboring.
The ministry offers privileges, yet it requires sacrifices
What matters most is how we go through the right process.
We must grow in faith, not waste opportunities in our servant’s experiences
Let’s abound in God’s work, being eternally enriched midst temporal losses.
The ministry is filled with commitments, yet it brings satisfaction
What matters most is our pure heart and honest intention
We must be motivated by God’s love, not by personal ambition
Let’s abound in God’s work, pleasing Him with our earnest dedication.
*2Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.
