Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:58"
The New International Version translates the opening scripture as "Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain." When you are born again, you have a newfound desire to do God's work.
Take advantage of this desire, and work for Him; you can work in the church or in your community for God. In the church, you can work as a counselor, usher, choir member, teacher, etc.
In your community, you can work as a helper, politician, evangelist, etc. There are times when, for some reason or other, you may feel like giving up on the work that God has assigned to you.
Such a feeling is not from God but from the evil one to discourage you to stop the good work you are doing for the Lord. Stand firm in the Word of God, and let nothing move you, because the moment you stop doing the work of God, you lose the reward that God has prepared for you.
Therefore, abound the more in His work, and daily encourage yourself with the Word of God. One day your reward will come; your work for the Lord will never be in vain.
Praise the Lord!
