God’s Vision for You and the World

WINNERS WORK! WORK IS ONE OF THE MAIN KEYS FOR A BETTER LIFE FOR ALL!

WORK OPENS THE DOOR to a bright new H.O.P.E. future of true freedom, peace and prosperity for all.

WORK DONE TO MEET A NEED and to create wealth and jobs without neglecting to honour our parents, marriage partners and children is rewarding, therapeutic and uplifting.

WORK DONE WITHOUT PAY will be remunerated by God out of His unlimited treasure store house.

WORK IS NOBLE and GOOD MEDICINE – work is part of our worship of a God Who Himself to this day still works. creates, conserves and cultivates six days a week.

LIFE IS ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS. Whether we work or play is irrelevant. What makes us happy is good relationships. Being with people whom we like and love at work or on the playing field is what makes getting up in the morning a joy and not a drag.

Personally I am happier working on a project that is already benefitting people or will eventually bless people in future with people I like and trust than being on the playing field or golf course with the same people.

I enjoy a good game but I get more joy and satisfaction from a job well done than on from a sport well played.

Relationships in a family, at work or on the playing field only work when all involved know, understand and subscribe to the facts:
    1. that the goal = that everyone (members of the team or managers & workers) on the field (sport or work) and the fans on the stand (supporters, beneficiaries or shareholders) will enjoy the game and will share in their fair piece of the cake or price money or profits
    1. that the rules, the boundaries, the line of communication and command are of paramount importance to ensure that everyone enjoys the game everyone
    1. that submission to the rules, the common good and to the referees including must and will be upheld by using the yellow and red cards.
ENJOYING WORK (paid or unpaid) = SIX HAPPY DAYS A WEEK instead of six drag days!

Lev 23:3 ‘Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.

 

Please note that God makes no mention of working 6 days for pay! The command is to work. The pay is not the issue, because God promises He will take care of you.

WORK SIX DAYS A WEEK whether paid or unpaid.
The days in the week you do not have to report for paid work, start by getting up early in the morning to meet with God and then start to work: i.e adopt the “clean as you go” way of life i.e. make up your bed, tidy up your room clean your draws, cupboards, room, house, yard and the pavement and street in front of the place where you live. Grow vegetables and plant fruit trees in your yard or garden and even at work if you are permitted. In Holland you will see open land in industrial areas used to grow crops. Then help your grandparents parents or some elderly person who needs help. Knock on the door of some one with character and capacity who is working in an organisation (business, governmental  or non profit) where you would also one day like to work and offer your labour or services free of charge in exchange for an opportunity to learn and be a blessing in the organisation. As you add value and profits to the organisation run by good people I can assure you that God will ensure that you will be paid out of the extra income you helped to generate.

John 5:17 (NKJV)

17 But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.”

 

Jesus was a builder in his earthly step father Joseph’s business from the age of 12 until 30. For eighteen years Jesus worked before His three years of ministry. 18 years of working in the family business equipped and qualified Him to minister to other people!

Paul, one of the most educated men of his time worked as a tent maker and was a burden to no-one in his ministry.

 

NO FOOD FOR PEOPLE WHO CAN WORK AND WILL NOT WORK.

We are commanded by God not to feed people who can work and do not work.

We are denying people who can work the dignity and a sense of worth and purpose by making it possible for them to eat and live without working.

Social grants for people who can work is Satan’s ear cushion and the breeding ground for a loss of dignity, discontent, conflict and crime in our families and communities. Buying votes with social grants should not be tolerated.

BE WARNED against idleness and busybodies and promoting a culture of idleness and busybodies!.

If we want to see the creation of wealth and jobs and a just distribution of wealth we need to repent of our idleness and our pointing of fingers and blaming other people.

If we want peace and prosperity we need:

    1. to return to God, His Good N.E.W.S. of H.O.P.E. and HIs ways of Networking and Empowering Winners who Work to supply for their own needs and to Sow into the lives of other people

    1. to use a just basket of weights (including gold, silver, oil, electricity, water & food) as a measure for work done in our communities

    1. to Network and Empower good people to become Winners who work and who in turn Sow their i’s and t’s of the HOPE-IT-Exchange logo into the three groups of people who are required to create wealth and jobs:
      a. INVESTORS (capital and savings both big and small) to have character,
      capacity and comprehension of the H.O.P.E. Big Picture
      b. MANAGERS to have character, capacity and comprehension of the
      H.O.P.E.Big Picture
      c. WORKERS to have character, capacity and comprehension of the H.O.P.E.
      Big Picture

 

Yes, WORK IS NOBLE and GOOD MEDICINE for BAD NEWS and DEPRESSION. Work is part of our worship of a God Who Himself still works. creates, conserves and cultivates.

Word Study: (AVODAH)—Work/Worship –

Avodah is the transliteration of the Hebrew word for worship and work. … words derived from the root give us insight into the nature of both worship and work

 

2 Thessalonians 3:6-15 (NKJV)

6 But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which he received from us. 7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you; 8 nor did we eat anyone’s bread free of charge, but worked with labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, 9 not because we do not have authority, but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us.

10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. 11 For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. 12 Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.

13 But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good. 14 And if anyone does not obey our word in this epistle, note that person and do not keep company with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 Yet do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

 

LET US TRUST GOD AND BE EXCITED ABOUT THE FUTURE and worship and work with God and His Dream teams of investors, managers and workers who are determined to create wealth and jobs for those who want to work and worship God by primarily producing products and services that people need and secondarily products that they want.
 
LET US BE EXCITED AND EXPECTANT TO SEE HOW GOD WILL “PAY” US OUT OF HIS ABUNDANT TREASURE HOUSE WHEN WE ARE PREPARED TO WORK WITHOUT PAY!!
 
LET US move with excitement and expectation from an attitude of “I am entitled and I have human rights” to an attitude of “I have opportunities and I have human responsibilities and privileges”.

Psalm 34:8 (NKJV)

 

8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him
