God's Divine Choice

2 Thessalonians 2:13-15 brings together what the Lord has done for us, our response, and what His expectation for us is as Kingdom Labourers.

(NKJV)

 ¹³ But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, ¹⁴ to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. ¹⁵ Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.

(TLB)

¹³ But we must forever give thanks to God for you, our brothers loved by the Lord, because God chose from the very first to give you salvation, cleansing you by the work of the Holy Spirit and by your trusting in the Truth. ¹⁴ Through us he told you the Good News. Through us he called you to share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. ¹⁵ With all these things in mind, dear brothers, stand firm and keep a strong grip on the truth that we taught you in our letters and during the time we were with you.

Prayer

As Kingdom Labourers, we need a revelation of being God's divine choice for salvation so that we would not be careless with what He wants to achieve through us.

• Thank God for making us His choice for salvation.

• Thank Him for loving us and for setting us apart for sanctification.

• Thank Him for the faithfulness to complete our sanctification – spirit, soul and body (1 Thessalonians 5:23).

His work of mercy brought the truth to us and caused us to believe. It is also His work of mercy that will establish us in it and help us to stand firm and keep a strong grip on the truth we have been taught.

• Thank him for His mercy that brought the truth of the gospel to us.

• Pray that what mercy has started, mercy will complete; that God will establish us in this truth and make us stand fast.

God has called us through the gospel for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Through us, He wants to do His work – which is to reconcile men to God, to bring many sons to glory.

• Pray that we would not miss the reason why He set us apart unto the truth of the gospel. Instead we will share in His glory.

• Ask Him to help us carry His life us as real Kingdom Labourers and to co-operate with His plan, because of the glory He has in store for us.

To be His divine choice is not a matter to be taking lightly. It’s ‘according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved’ ( Ephesians 1:5-6)  so we must not be careless with it. When the gospel came to Paul by revelation, this was his response:

Galatians 1:15-24 (NKJV)

¹⁵ But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through His grace, ¹⁶ to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately confer with flesh and blood, 

 … ²⁴ And they glorified God in me.

• Ask the Lord to Reveal His Son in us afresh and equip us with a scope for the revival labour He has called us into by mercy, so that we are not careless with the revelation of the truth.

• Ask for grace to be fruitful and to multiply the life of Christ in those in our field of labour and that God will be glorified in us.

God's Co-Labourers

Join this HeartCry Prayer - Every Friday 11:30am - 3:30pm (UK time)

As kingdom labourers/co-labourers with Christ Jesus, we are expected to seek the face of the LORD at all times. This is the expectation of our fore-runner and Commander-in-Chief in our various walk and work with Him.

2Chr 7:14 – If my people which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray, and purposely seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.  

What heaven recognises us to be through the Grace that has been made available for us:

·         1 Cor 3:9 (TLB) = GOD’s Co-workers

·         2 Cor 6:1 (TLB) = GOD’s Partners

·         Phil 4:3 (TLB) = Fellow-workers whose names as been written in the Book of Life

Ezekiel 37:1-10

 1. The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,

The hand of the LORD was upon Ezekiel. Who was Ezekiel? A watchman of GOD whose duty was to warn people of any impending danger and run for their lives.

As co-labourers in and with Christ Jesus, that the hand of the LORD or the power of the LORD or the spirit of the LORD has located us, necessity has being laid upon us concerning the issues that heaven wants us to see, to hear, to perceive in our hearts and to take action (perhaps in the place of prayer) about them.

 2. And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry.

The LORD caused Ezekiel to pass by (go round?) the valley of bones, and he himself could see and testify that the bones were very dry.

As GOD’s co-worker, and in the revelation HE has given unto us (in our seeing, in our hearing and in our “knowing”), what are our judgement over those dry situations? Is it in line with what heaven is saying? Or are we looking at it from the perspective of men/world?

 3. And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.

GOD – in all HIS infinite majesty, asking Ezekiel – mere dust, the works of HIS hands, the question “Can these bones live? See the response of Ezekiel.

As slaves of JESUS CHRIST – 1Cor 7:12 (NLT) who HE has decided and chosen to be co-labourer with, what are our responses to the LORD for those situations, those fallen nations, that lost and condemned sinner, those personal challenges of ours, those multitudes of dry bones circumstances all around us? Are we responding as Ezekiel did? Are we seeing the KING-SERVANT humbling HIMSELF to ask for our verdict on all cases? 

 4. Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord.

GOD asked Ezekiel to prophesy… An instruction to be carried out on the part of Ezekiel.

As co-partners with CHRIST, what are our own part that we are suppose to play/take in the matter that heaven is laying before us or instructing us to do?

 5. Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

 6. And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

 7. So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

Ezekiel prophesied as instructed by GOD and there was a noise, then a shaken and bones began to get attached to bones. The miraculous act began to set in motion by the MIRACLE HIMSELF because Ezekiel adhered to command.

As labourers of GOD’S kingdom, are we obeying for there to be an effect in accordance to the instructions of the WORD of GOD? Are we seeing situation as being impossible or as JESUS is seeing or from HIS perspective? Are we beholding a deadly hopeless situation – in that man, woman, child (ren), home, marriage, bosses, workplace, leaders, and nations? Or are we seeing the restoration and the hope in these entire negative situations in the hands of the RESTORER HIMSELF?

 8. And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no breath in them.

 9. Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith the Lord God; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

 10. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

Again Ezekiel was given an instruction (his own part) to obey; he was to prophesy to the wind to come upon the skin, as the skin has covered the formed flesh and sinews. Why did he need to prophesy? Because breathe had to come upon them for them to become a living soul – Gen 2:7. The breathe needed was the Breathe of GOD, which only HIM can give, for that exceeding great army to rise upon their feet and to live.

As stewards in HIS service, are we seeing GOD as being the GIVER of LIFE, who has the final breathe to breathe over all that the HOLY SPIRIT is revealing unto us, concerning the matters of the LORD’s heart? As Ezekiel did to the end, are we going to follow as commanded and obey to the last instruction for the great army of revival to stand for HIS purpose?

PRAYERS – JN 20:21-22

Using the hymn below: let’s ask that the Holy Spirit to breathe on us again, Not for us on the platform as Labourers in His Vineyard, but for other Living Fellow- Workers whose names has been written in the Lord’s Book of Life.

.

·         Except GOD intervenes, there is no hope whatsoever for any man. GOD could have single-handedly brought the bones alive without getting Ezekiel involved, but HE desires or chooses to bring him in. His role was to prophesy as he was commanded. As co-labourer with Christ, GOD has his part to play and so do we. HE will give us the Grace which must be acted upon.

.

1. Breathe on me, breath of God,

    Fill me with life anew,

    That I may love what Thou dost love,

    And do what Thou wouldst do.

·        What GOD desires is a man with pure heart. Ezekiel’s heart was pure and was filled in the Spirit (verse 1), and so the LORD was able to in one accord with Ezekiel (acting his part), accomplish that which HE, GOD desire.

2. Breathe on me, breath of God,

    Until my heart is pure,

    Until with Thee I will one will,

    To do and to endure

·        GOD is not in the business of not completing whatever HE has started. HE is not known for that. As HIS co-labourers, are we always in the business of truncating the work of GOD? Thank GOD for the Spirit of GOD that came and lifted Ezekiel. Thank GOD that at no point in the instruction given did he truncate [abbreviate; abridge; curtail; cut-short] the work. Pray that the Spirit of GOD breathes on you, so that you will not be a truncater of the work of GOD.

3. Breathe on me, breath of God,

    Blend all my soul with Thine,

    Until this earthly part of me

    Glows with Thy fire divine.

4. Breathe on me, breath of God,

    So shall I never die,

    But live with Thee the perfect life

    Of Thine eternity

COME DRINK NEW WINE! 

THE PARABLE OF THE TARES - Matthew 13:24-30 / 36-43

WORKING AND IDLE LABOURERS - Matthew 20: 1-16

The major difference between a Kingdom labourer that is constantly working for God and a Kingdom labourer that is idle in God's Vineyard, is lack of understanding of the mysteries of the Kingdom of God.

The children of God that are truly labouring as Kingdom labourers must desire to engage God in all matters that pertain to His Kingdom. As Jesus' disciples did, we must desire to ask God on how not to waste the mercies we have received from Him; so as to labour aright in His Vineyard.

Prayer:

• Lord, show me the type of labourer that I am in Your Kingdom. Engage me fully so I can do diligent search of my labour.  Please show me where I am lagging behind so I can make amends.

• Lord, fill every area of my life that is not occupied with THE TRUTH that delivers completely. Make the mysteries of Your Kingdom clear to me, so I can preach the mystery of the Gospel correctly.

• Lord, help me to discern the Kingdom opportunities You are bringing my way, and grant me grace to improve on those opportunities. Let me not walk over the words that accompany Your AMAZING GRACE in my life.

WORKING KINGDOM LABOURERS - Keep the zeal and labour on!

God has made a lot of costly efforts in perfecting His purpose in our lives. He has sown so many good seeds into our lives through THE CROSS of Jesus by planting a lot of graces in our lives; so we can carry His divine nature that will enable us to measure up to the stature and fullness of Christ.

As God's Kingdom field, He has cultivated our lives in various ways that He is worthy to hire us by divine right; so we can bring forth the products of the good He has deposited in our lives. Heaven demands that we keep the zeal and labour on in Christ Jesus.

Prayer:

• Lord, help me to draw constantly from my divine graces so I can keep working for You. Keep perfecting Your labour in my life, and reap what You have deposited in every area of my life.

• Lord let nothing share Your right in my life. Please keep working on me until I start producing the good that You have deposited in me. Help me to bring forth fruits of honour for Your work here on earth.

• You have sown me unto Yourself, Lord reap Your harvest in me.

IDLE KINGDOM LABOURERS - Get to work and labour on! 

(Matthew 12: 43 - 45)

According to our text - Matthew 13:24-30 / 36-43, "the Tares" represent some of the labourers that are idle in God's labour for the true Gospel. They are unproductive and unprofitable in themselves, to others around them and even harmful to the labourers that are constantly labouring for the Kingdom of God. They enjoy all the benefits of the Kingdom alongside those that are working in the Vineyard of God but they are good for nothing. There are “the Tares among the Wheat!”

Prayer:

• Lord search my life and reveal any form of idleness in my labour in Your Vineyard to me.

•  Lord rid me of all vain and unprofitable things that want me to lose the benefits of heaven in my life. Please reveal to me anything representing idleness or sleep in my labour, and help me to overcome it.

• Lord block all the loopholes/doorways that are activating the power of hell in my Kingdom Labour.

KINGDOM LABOURERS-TO-BE: God is hiring today! 

(Matthew 20: 1 - 7)

The seasoning power in the AMAZING GRACE OF GOD is still very active. There is enough room in God's Vineyard for more labourers to take their positions and get to work immediately. God is hiring the army that He has prepared for the present and the future. Remember the devil is also hiring labourers through various means into his kingdom.

*For more details on becoming a Kingdom labourer, please contact the existing Kingdom labourers via email: heartcry@livingseeduk.org

Prayer:

• Lord, I surrender my life to Your Labour, so You can reap the harvest of what You have sown into my life.

• Rid me of all hindrances and distractions as I present myself to You and Your Labour afresh. Baptise me especially for this cause, O Lord!

• Lord raise a pleasing altar to Yourself in my life.

 ***Lord, make some lasting impressions of Your Kingdom upon my life, that will bind me to Your ALTAR OF TRUTH; be it through plain teachings or parables. Help me to keep coming to this Altar, O Lord!

Examining the Soil of Your Heart

Join this HeartCry Prayer- Every Friday 11.30am-6.30pm (UK time)

Matthew 13 (VOICE)

That same day, Jesus left the house and went to sit by the sea. ² Large crowds gathered around Him, and He got into a boat on the sea and sat there. The crowd stood on the shore waiting for His teaching.

This next sermon series, the third of Jesus’ five Mosaic-like sermons, is filled with parables or stories with a deeper meaning about the kingdom of heaven.

³ And so Jesus began to teach. On this day, He spoke in parables. Here is His first parable:

Jesus: Once there was a sower who scattered seeds. ⁴ One day he walked in a field scattering seeds as he went. Some seeds fell beside a road, and a flock of birds came and ate all those seeds. ⁵ So the sower scattered seeds in a field, one with shallow soil and strewn with rocks. But the seeds grew quickly amid all the rocks, ⁶ without rooting themselves in the shallow soil. Their roots got tangled up in all the stones. The sun scorched these seeds, and they died. ⁷ And so the sower scattered seeds near a path, this one covered with thorny vines. The seeds fared no better there—the thorns choked them, and they died. ⁸ And so finally the sower scattered his seeds in a patch of good earth. At home in the good earth, the seeds grew and grew. Eventually the seeds bore fruit, and the fruit grew ripe and was harvested. The harvest was immense—30, 60, 100 times what was sown.

⁹ He who has ears to hear let him hear.

QUESTION AND ANSWER TIME

Disciples: ¹⁰ Why do You speak to the people in parables?

Jesus: ¹¹ The knowledge of the secrets of heaven has been given to you, but it has not been given to them. ¹² Those who have something will be given more—and they will have abundance. Those who have nothing will lose what they have—they will be destitute. ¹³ I teach in parables so the people may look but not see, listen but not hear or understand. ¹⁴ They are fulfilling Isaiah’s prophecy:

You will listen, but you will not understand;
you will look, but you will not see.
¹⁵ The people’s hearts have turned to flab;
their ears are clogged;
their eyes are shut.
They will try to see, but they will not see;
they will try to hear, but they will not hear;
they will try to understand, but they will not comprehend.
If they, with their blindness and deafness, so choose, then I will heal them.


WAYSIDE

This is like the seeds sown beside the road, people who hear the word of God and receive it joyfully—but then, somehow, the word fails to take root in their hearts. 

What is the condition of your heart? Please examine it now in order to receive help from Him (JESUS).

ROCKY SOIL

It is temporary. As soon as there is trouble for these people, they trip. 

²² And you know people who hear the word, but it is choked inside them because they constantly worry and prefer the wealth and pleasures of the world: they prefer drunken dinner parties to prayer, power to piety, and riches to righteousness. Those people are like the seeds sown among thorns. 

Have you tended your heart's soil as you should? Or have you allowed something else to compete with the seed?

GOOD SOIL

²³ The people who hear the word and receive it and grow in it—those are like the seeds sown on good soil. They produce a bumper crop, 30 or 60 or 100 times what was sown.

Jesus is still sowing His Word (seed) in ALL hearts thereby giving ALL the opportunity. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God - John 3:18 NKJV.

Those outside the group are not meant to understand the complete Word of God. Thus, one must already be committed to following Jesus to fully understand His message. Without that commitment, one will never fully understand Him or be helped.

I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me for they are Yours John 17:9 NKJV.

PRAYER

Let us pray for God to deliver our hearts from growing dull.

Let us pray for open eyes to see.

Lord, please take away heavy and difficult hearing from us.

Open my understanding and bring about a change of heart, life and relocation from darkness to light.
We present people on the Calvary ABC1 platform to You for healing and relocation in Jesus' name.
Deliver me from superficial faith of a stony heart that glorifies God in good times but withers under trials.

Help me to examine my heart and fully surrender it to Christ for healing and for taking on His own heart in Jesus' name.

Pray that God will give you a heart of flesh that is tender to receive the Word, instructions and rebuke from God.

Pray for God to root out all the thorns sharing the nutrients meant for God’s Words in our life.

O God, please come as Gardener and root out every form of thorns that are in competition with your words in my life.

Luke 9: 10-17, John 21: 15-17

• God’s promise to father Abraham, ‘I will bless you and you shall be a blessing’ is our portion since we came into the full gospel. You cannot be a blessing to others unless you have been blessed.

• Let us take stock of our blessedness in CHRIST JESUS and give thanks to our heavenly Father ‘who has blessed us with every spiritual blessings in HIM.’

• We are blessed so that we can be a blessing to others.

• As Kingdom Labourers, we are like the five small loaves and two small fishes (few and feeble as we are) and the Lord is content to use us to feed the multitudes out there! A thing that is most impossible except they (we) are in HIS hands.

• The first stage in this breaking process is our unconditional surrender to the Lord for discipleship – they brought the five loaves and two fish to Him and He took them. How did you come to discipleship?

• After we are blessed we must be broken, if we will be sufficient to feed the multitude – Luke 9:16, John 12: 24-25. It is in dying that we produce much grain! Hallelujah!!

• After breaking, He distributes us to “set before the multitude” – vs 16.

• The five small, insignificant loaves fed thousands, after they had passed through the hand of the LORD through divine concentration and incubation; like a refiner’s fire and launderer’s soap – Malachi 3:2-4.

• Our relevance is not in what we are or have, but in what we can become when we allow Him to “make” us.

        The instrument and process of Him making us is discipleship.

We are His Workmanship

Ephesians 2:10

“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.” NKJV

“For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live].” AMP

---

There is a work that God has done, which must be activated in each of our lives in order for us to be able to enter into the Kingdom Labour that He prepared for us long ago.

Workmanship means ‘handiwork’ – a work that God Himself did. 

We are God’s masterpiece – Eph. 2:10 NLT.

A masterpiece is an outstanding piece of work; a workmanship that is exceptional.

As Kingdom Labourers:

1.  God wants us to know that the work He did on the cross is exceptional, and He wants our lives to reflect the masterpiece He created, that is, the NEW MAN – Eph. 4:22-23.

2.  God wants us to know that in order to have knowledge of His will concerning those good works He has prepared for us, we must present our bodies a living sacrifice (demonstrate that we died), be not conformed to the world, be transformed – Rom. 12:1-2.

3.  God wants us to walk worthy in the paths to which He has called us – Eph. 4:1.

4.  God wants us to know that He Himself has given us apostles, prophet, evangelists, pastors and teachers to help us grow into the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ – Eph. 4:11-13.

---

  

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus…

ü  Lord, thank You for cross – a work that made me into Your masterpiece.

ü  Help me to know that I cannot be a Kingdom Labourer if I do not allow the cross to have effect in me.

ü  Reveal the cross to me afresh.

ü  Grant me spiritual understanding of the full Gospel.

ü  Let my life reflect Your outstanding workmanship – bring me into the reality of ‘old things passed away and all things have become new’ – 2 Cor. 5:17.

ü  De-clutter me from every dead work that distorts Your masterpiece.

ü  You will see the fruit of Your workmanship in my life and be satisfied – Isaiah 53:11.

  

For good works, which God prepared beforehand…

ü  Open my ears and cause me to hear Your voice calling me to the paths leading to the good works You have prepared for me. Please silence every voice calling me to another path.

ü  Prevail over my heart and make me faithful to your instruction.

ü  Expose anything hidden in me that does not align to Your purpose for my life.

ü  Confirm my death with you on the cross and let Your life have full expression in me – Rom. 12:1-2.

ü  Strengthen me in Your grace to stand apart from the expectations of the world.

ü  Instead, grant that I will conform to the image of Christ.

ü  Renew my mind and cause me to that learn from Your personal dealings in my life, what Your will for me is.

  

That we should walk in them.

ü  Help me to yield totally to You so that I can walk worthy of my calling.

ü  Help me to pay attention to all the help You have provided for me to come to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.

ü  Help me to walk as I have learned of Christ and allow the new man to be the kingdom labourer – Eph.4:20, Col. 3:12-17.

Help me to walk as I have learned of Christ and allow the new man to be the Kingdom Labourer.

A Kingdom Labourer's Heart

Listen to this HeartCry Message

Join this HeartCry Prayer- Every Friday 11.30am-6.30pm (UK time)

The Lord is simple but human beings have a way of complicating Him. Some are too smart and intelligent for God. God tries various means of breaking us but often times, we slip away.

Thank God, for He has not come unto us in parables, but in accents clear and still.

If there is anything a Kingdom Labour should be entitled to, it is the secrets and mysteries of the kingdom they belong to -  Matt 13: 10 -11. Kingdom Labourers are not better than other Christians who have not come to the knowledge of the way of the cross and complete gospel;  but God by His mercy, hand-picks them that His truth might be revealed to them.

…Knowledge of the truth is not enough - a Kingdom Labourer must seek revelation.

Matthew 13: 12 - 

The parable of the sower was meant for disciples, not unbelievers, to enable them learn and apply their hearts unto what have they had received from the Lord.  The Lord did this by showing them the various ways whereby the enemy comes in to devour!

Looking closely into this passage, we will discover that the Lord was focusing on the HEART of man. The different kinds of ground represented different kinds of hearts.

God knows that it is the heart that has been worked upon and prepared that can receive and put into use what He gives to it.

The state of our heart matters so much to God because it determines how far He can really work with us. This is because He wants to deposit a lot of treasures into our lives - truth from His Word that will bring about our daily sanctification and complete transformations - if we allow it to have free course in our lives.

John 10:10 – “The thief cometh not, but only to steal, kill and destroy.”

In essence, our lives will not be attractive to the devil if there is no treasure in it.

The Bible makes us understand that even the very elect themselves will be deceived. If the Word of God is casual to us, we will become casualties and part of the deceived!

What kind of heart do you have?

Matt 13: 4-8		Matthew 13: 19-23	Prayer Points	John 10:10
Hard Ground	A ground (heart) that is not yet dug up. Untouched ground.	Lacks understanding Evil one comes to snatch the Word away.		The thief comes only to Steal

I (Jesus) have come that you may have life and have it more abundantly.

         

Enlarge our hearts, O Lord, that we may rightly perceive. 

Help us to understand the true burden of the Lord, that we may labour correctly.
