This program will help you undo financial bondage.
Work is much more tedious to our decaying bodies because Adam forsook the abundance of God's favor and everlasting life in his physical body by eating of the forbidden fruit. Yet, God still looks upon work as an integral part man fulfilling the purpose for which he is created and designed to have dominion in the earth.
Work should be engaged to please Father God, to allow the Holy Spirit to guide and train us to use our gifts and build skill in our endeavors, and to be Jesus’ hands, feet, and mouthpiece in the earth. Through this attitude, we build treasures in heaven and when work flows from our faith in God, we'll find pleasure even in the toil and the things it allows us to obtain will be a blessing to us and others.
Solomon and the Apostle Paul confirmed the natural and spiritual repercussions of laziness and irresponsibility toward work. They identified that the diligent person shall live in a wealthy place and that a person who doesn't work will not have enough food and sustenance to properly care for his or her responsibilities. Proverbs 31 shows that a spiritual woman is one that works whether at home or outside the home doing things that are godly and which benefit her husband and children. Men should also be engaged in worthwhile, godly endeavors in and outside the home. In fact, they should set the example for others in the home to follow.
Abstaining from all forms of work is not healthy for your body or good in God's sight, yet that does not mean you cannot move to different stages of work life where you flow from working a great number of hours in one career field to reducing work hours and spreading your time in other fields such as ministry, consulting, entrepreneurial, and charitable non-profit efforts.
You are free to retire from your present line of work granted you understand that the Holy Spirit has already called you to another field of work where you will overtly and covertly build God’s kingdom through your communication, interaction, and resources. That’s right, when you retire from your present line of work; you still have much work to do as a member of and co-laborer in the body of Christ.
Even after retiring from your career path, God’s love in you and your love for Him should motivate you to work as unto the Lord inside and outside your local church to evangelize unbelievers and make disciples of men.
Please email any questions and pray for this ministry. May God bless you richly as you follow His plan!!!
