NB: There is a promise (of His rest) that God has made. This promise is linked to our patience in service to Him. As we serve Him, there are things that could discourage (trials and tribulations, people despising you, rejections, lack etc), but we need patience.
- Ask God to show you what your assignment is and the scope, so that at the end, you are able to say the words of Paul in 2 Timothy 4:7-8.
- Ask God for a persevering and patient heart to continue the good work – His work, doing good to mankind, whether in your place of work, in your complex, to the body of Christ etc. It doesn’t matter what discouragement that the enemy brings your way.
- We are not ignorant of the devices of the devil. Ask God for a discerning spirit to be able to identify which way the enemy is coming from and the way to deal with Him.
- Ask Him to anoint you with the same anointing Jesus had that made Him to be doing good – Acts 10:38
