Your Labour is Never in Vain in The Lord: Gospel Today Devotional - 27th September, 2022

In our walk with God, we must bear in mind, that it is never a mistake to know him and to live for him. Yes, there may be times we would be faced with challenges, there may be difficulties along the way, it may not be easy, and sometimes we may have to stand alone if that happens to be the only option. Even then, we are to note that he who has called us to himself is faithful to see us through each step of the way.
 
Your Labour is Never in Vain in The Lord: Gospel Today Devotional - 27th September, 2022

The apostle Paul in one of his letters, to the Corinthian Church, particularly in his first epistle, made this truth known and gave an exhortation to the Church at Corinth. This means that the apostle Paul knew for sure that the Christian walk may be one with challenges, but that's not the point. The point is the one who has called us can see us through.

If we know that he who has called us can see us through, what then are we expected to do? What should be our responsibility? How do we walk consistently with the Lord without getting weary or ever thinking to go back? The answer is seen in the exhortation below,

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. (1 Corinthians 15:58).

Though there may be challenges, it may not be easy, and even though we may have to stand alone, as we walk through this path, the apostle Paul gives us this exhortation which we shall consider in the following paragraphs.

Speaking to us as believers (therefore my beloved brethren), meaning those who are of the same faith as I, 

be ye steadfast, unmoveable (do not relent in your commitment, do not lose heart, do not be tired nor weary, do not consider despising the faith, do not compromise your stand, look ever to the one who can keep you, do not move), *always abounding in the work of the Lord*(keep doing your work for him, keep loving him, keep proclaiming his name, keep reaching out to people; caring for them, and showing them love unfeigned all to the glory of God), *forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord*( do this because you know he rewards those who stay with him, he will not forget your labor of love).

Dear believer, do you feel tired of following after the Lord that you think you have had enough, and you can't take it anymore? Do you think God has forgotten your labor of love? I bring to you the word of God today, and I exhort you dear believer in the name of the Lord Jesus to be steadfast, immovable, continuing still in his work because your labor is never in vain in the Lord. The Lord help us all. Amen.

Daily Nugget: The Lord is too faithful to forget your labor of love, hence, do not let anything stop you from following after him.

Prayer: Help me Lord to be steadfast indeed, immovable, and ever abounding in your work in Jesus' name. Amen.
