Labouring with the Oil of Grace

Join This HeartCry Prayer - Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 11:30am -1:30pm (UK time)

Zechariah 4:7-10 (KJV)

“Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you.  For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth. 

The Effects of The Oil of Grace in Kingdom Labour: 

1. Difficulty paves way for labour – as long as one remains firmly rooted in Christ, no opposition against any service ordered by God unto Himself and for His glory will stand...(Isaiah 40:4 - 5) 

 2. Regular connection to The Throne of Grace – the Grace of The Spirit of God is poured out without measure and received at the Throne of Grace...(Hebrews 4:16) 

Prayer: 

  • Lord please affect my heart and the whole of my body in such a way that it will achieve greatly for You. 
  • Lord help me to walk daily in Faith that moves mountain, together with the Grace that levels mountain. 
  • Make me a captive at the Throne of Grace, where I will constantly labour without struggle or without human effort. 
  • Lord let me not frustrate Your Grace in every area of my life: keep me near Your Throne of Grace where I will always find mercy. 

3. Divine multiplication of every little effort or move – God chooses weak things to bring about great things by way of Grace. As a great mountain can become plain, so can a little stone out of a mountain makes a difference when God is in it...(Isaiah 60:22) 

4. Divine focus on every aspect of one's labour in God's Kingdom – much will be achieved with little when the watchful Eyes of God are upon the labour...(2nd Chronicles 16:9): to inspire the work, to direct it according to the counsel of heaven, to see to its precision and to submit it to the proposals from above. 

Prayer: 

  • Lord please help me not to leave out the place of Your Grace in my labour: maintain and sustain Your labour in my hands. 
  • Grant me the divine revelation of the difference that Your Greatness makes in my little. 
  • Lord please unite my heart and my hand in my walk with You: make both one in my labour for Your Kingdom. 
  • Inspire Your work in my hands: and cause it to meet the standard of the counsels of heaven.

Labouring by the Spirit of God

Join This HeartCry Prayer - Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 11:30am - 1:30pm (UK time)


Zechariah 4:1-6 (KJV)

 ”And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.  And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof: And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.  So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?  Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts. 

The fresh outpouring of The Spirit of God is readily made available to everyone to work for God without bringing any form of displeasure to Him. It is The Holy Spirit that qualifies all to walk with God, and work for Him as true Kingdom Labourers.

1st Corinthians 12:7 (KJV) 

 “But the manifestation of The Spirit is given to every man to profit withal” 

There are some spiritual necessities for my labour in the Kingdom of God: 

1. My body MUST keep pace with The Spirit in matters of The Divine. 
It is very important not to be carried away, but to take notice of all the instructions of God by all means (to be alert and willing to take instructions from Him daily – Isaiah 50:4

***To be fit for The Holy Spirit, I must be unfit for the flesh*** 

PRAYER: 

  • Lord please make me unfit for the flesh in every area 
  • Stir me up, and awaken me by Your Spirit until I measure up with the divine intention for my labour 
  • Let my body and my spirit agree with the purpose of Heaven for my life and labour 

  
2. I MUST run with GOD's sole ability to achieve His purpose without the help of man. 
Nothing can be / will be left undone as far as God is concerned. His proven ability for HIS WORK is evident in creation and nothing is impossible with God. Genesis 1 and Luke 1:37 


PRAYER: 

  • Lord please have mercy on me in whatever way that I have neglected Your Work 
  • Help me to labour actively in the same way You come to me, however demanding! 
  • Open my eyes afresh to my sufficiency in You for the labour You have committed into my hands 


3. I MUST know the MIND OF GOD for His Labour. 
To know the exact thing He wants done, respond to His Word concerning what to be done, and run with what needs to be done. 
*Jesus stayed in the temple for three days making enquiries from both God and men. – Luke 2:46-49* 

PRAYER: 

  • Lord in my walk with You, please unite my mind with Yours: help me not to run my labour race in assumption. 
  • Hasten my response to Your mind concerning Your Work, and help me to run with it without delay. 
  • Lord please increase my pace as I run with Your vision for my labour: Breathe on my pace in Your Kingdom Labour. 

  
4. I MUST labour in and from my Glorified Position (divine position to experience mysterious multiplication in my service unto God). 
By way of various divine encounters, God wants to reposition me and my labour for HIM. 
Through the Power of the Holy Spirit – my labour in God's Kingdom is taken care of by the great influence of The Oil of Grace.  - Ephesians 2:8-9. 


PRAYER:

  • Lord help me to know and accept the significance of Divine Order in my labour. 
  • Make me worthy of the key to multiplication (The Oil of Grace) You are pouring afresh on me: Lord please humble me for the great influence of the Oil of Grace on my labour. 
  • Let me be satisfied with Divine Guidance, and accept The Grace that accompanies it. 
  • Open my life and labour to all the illustrations You have put in place through Your Word and the human hands around me. 
  • HELP ME BEGIN TO SEE YOUR HANDWRITING ON EVERYTHING BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Kingdom Labourers on the Cyber World

Join this HeartCry Prayer- Every Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 11.30am-1.30pm (UK time)
 
1 Corinthians 9:15-23 (KJV, TLB, NIV)

If Jesus Christ has not dominated the virtual world and remains viral, it should  not be for lack of platform but for lack of correct kingdom labourers on the Cyber world field.
Reclaiming the virtual platform back for God’s purpose is a small thing; God’s lamentation is for lack of disciples indeed.

Vs. 16 For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for necessity is laid upon me {I am compelled to preach; I couldn’t keep from preaching if I wanted to} ; yes, woe is me if I do not preach the gospel!
  • Has it occurred to you that you are indebted to Christ forever?
  • What ever you are or have was received from the Lord. What are you boasting about? There is nothing to boast about- not self, not wisdom, not strength, not even talents.
  • Has it dawned on your heart that necessity is laid upon you?
  • Is your heart compelled to preach the Gospel?
  • Are you in a place in God where your heart is saying- “Woe is me if I do not preach the gospel”?

Is the Lord raising issues on your heart regarding any of the above…. ? pls pray into this now.
 
Vs. 17b …I am simply discharging the trust committed to me.
  • Can God trust you to discharge the Gospel?
  •  Can God commit lives to your care?
  • Will men keep troping into hell for lack of kingdom labourers even on the Cyberworld?

Please pray into this. Lord remove from me all that makes me not trustworthy.

Vs. 18 Are you sowing or selling the Gospel ?
  •  Are you abusing your authority in the Gospel? Remember! DO NOT TOUCH HIS GLORY!
  • What are you sowing or selling? Is it Self? promoting your ambition or propagating Christ and Him Crucified?
  • Why do you want to make the Cross of Christ of nil effect by advertising self?
Vs. 19 Are you reflecting this virtue of Christ inside Brother Paul?
  • Lord make me though free to be willing to become a servant to ALL that I might win the more.
  • Make me willing to freely and happily adapt in order that more SONS be added to glory.
  •  Phil. 2:6 Help me follow the example of JESUS who did not consider equality with God something to be used to His own advantage.
Vs. 20-22 
  • Help me be willing, whether a computer illiterate/literate/mogul to become all things in order to fish for men.
  • Willingly give up whatever everything I did to promote self, man or organisation on the virtual platforms so as to sow the Gospel to mankind.
Vs. 23
  • Help us be willing, adaptable and available to become partakers of the blessing of seeing men rooted inside Christ.
  • Cause my heart to see and know that there is no joy/reward greater than seeing mankind grounded and established in Christ. Let this labour and reward be sufficient for me.
