Kingdom Labourers in the Marketplace



Acts 10:38
Psalm 24:1
Colossians 3:17
Colossians 3:22-25/Ephesians 6:5-8

Ø We must desire God to anoint us with the Holy Spirit for our work. Acts 10:38.
Ø Every workplace belongs to the Almighty God, our Father. Psalms 24:1.
Ø We are to obey our employers, not offering eye service as men-pleasers.
Ø Do all in sincerity of heart, fearing God.
Ø Do all as to God and not to men.
Ø Reward of inheritance is from God because we serve the Lord Jesus Christ.
Ø Those who do wrong will be repaid for what they have done; there is no partiality with God.

PRAYER POINTS
As kingdom labourers located “Inside Christ”, we carry Christ to our workplaces.

Ø Father, knowing You are with me, anoint me with the Holy Spirit and power to go about this labour of doing good, healing all who are oppressed by the devil.  Let the light of Jesus shine through me in my workplace.

Ø Let it only be You, O Lord, I resolve to know in all I think or speak or do.

Ø Help me to cheerfully fulfil the task Your wisdom has assigned for me.

Ø Let me find Your presence in all my work and prove Thy good and perfect will.

Ø Preserve me from my calling’s snare. Hide my simple heart above, above the thorns of choking care, the baits of worldly  love.

Ø May I set you at my right hand and let my inmost substance see your eyes, help me to  labour on at Thy command and offer all my works to Thee.

Ø Give me to bear Thy easy Yoke, watching and praying every moment, looking at eternal things.

Ø Lord, help me to run my course with even joy and closely walk with Thee to Heaven.

ACTION
Ø Psalm 68:11 – “The Lord gave the Word; Great was the company of those who proclaimed it.”

To fulfil this instruction, we can trust God to use us in setting up Christian Workplace Groups in our places of work in the United Kingdom.

The smooth stones (organisations such as Transform Work UK and Christians At Work) and “the sling” (our prayers)  are God’s provision for us as He did for David in slaying Goliath.

Transform Work UK
Inspiring Christians to  transform their workplace and the nation.
TWUK encourages Christians to grow Christian Workplace Groups which seek to bring real benefits to their organisation and its staff.

Christians At Work
A national organisation helping to mobilise Christians to live out their faith both in the world of work and the world at large

May the Lord continue to breathe upon these organisations as they carry out this great mission in our workplaces.
