*LUNCH HOUR WITH ABBA FATHER*

*THURSDAY JULY 27*

*WORK WHILE IT IS DAY*

*John 9:1-5*

_Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. 2 And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” 3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him. 4 I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world._

Jesus must have been very busy during the three and a half years He engaged in active ministry. He knew His time on earth was short, so there was no waste of time and opportunity. This is the critical message in today’s passage.

When Jesus talked about the night coming when no man can work, He was talking about a time when He would leave the earth for eternity.
By this, He was telling His disciples that they too have limited time to do all that God would have them do in this life. If you have limited time, it means you must take advantage of every opportunity to do what you have to do.
We have several things we do that are valid and necessary for our continued existence and well-being in this life. In the midst of all these however, we must find time to serve God in whatever capacity He allows. In fact, the wise make God’s work priority and everything else falls in place. If you make God first, He makes your desire also first on His plan. What will happen if you are waiting for the most convenient time to serve God and it does not come, and one day you realize you have nothing to show to God for your life on earth?

*PRAYER*

1. Thank God for the opportunity He brings your way to serve Him.
2. Pray that you will not miss any of them but will be available to serve Him always.
3. Father, please help me busy myself with kingdom business every day of my life.

*DECLARATIONS*

I declare that my times and life are in God’s hands. As a custodian of time and every resource I have received from God, I use every one of them to serve God and the people of God. I declare that I will intentionally create opportunities to serve God with every breath that He has given me in the name of Jesus.

*AMEN*

*STRENGTH FOR THE RACE*

“The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace.” – Psalm 29:11.

Every automobile on a journey need refueling at some point to get to its destination. As believers on earth, we need the constant strength of God through the Holy Spirit to run our race. Isaiah 40:29 ~ “He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.” Ephesians 3:16 (NLT) ~ “I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.”

Spiritual strength overcomes weariness and discouragement. In 1 Kings 19, Elijah was discouraged and even wished to die, but after God fed him thrice in the wilderness such that he was strengthened and travelled for forty days. 1 Kings 19:8 (NLT) ~ “So he got up and ate and drank, and the food gave him enough strength to travel forty days and forty nights to Mount Sinai.”

Sometimes athletes must run against the wind. And running against the wind presents more resistance which might slow down their speed. We need spiritual stamina to resist any windy situation around us in order not to slow our pace in our spiritual journey. The strength of God enables us to overcome all forms of temptation.

Strength from God leads to spiritual buoyancy. Our inner man is strengthened when we wait on the Lord. Isaiah 40:31 ~ “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Prayer and fasting empower our spiritual vitality.

*PRAYER*

Father, strengthen my inner man with power by your Spirit in Jesus’ name

*AMEN*
