The Mindset to Keep Working

Nehemiah 4:6 CSB

So we rebuilt the wall until the entire wall was joined together up to half its height, for the people had the will to keep working.

 

The Mindset to Keep Working

God wants you to have the will to Keep Working

 

God wants all his children to work, the enemy is against you working. 

WORK is a spiritual matter, before it is a economic matter. 

 

Anything that carry the purpose of God is subject to opposition from the enemy. Deciding to get back into employment or starting that business or to do well in your career, opposition becomes a constant. Nothing great has been achieved without opposition. You want to become significant, then embrace opposition. A life characterised by the absence of opposition is a life characterised by mediocrity.

 

How to be progressive despite opposition? 

 

Progress despite opposition is the resultant of the attitude to keep working no matter what. When the going gets tough, what makes the difference is the heart to work and not ability or talent. In a season of opposition ability or talent does not count.

 

What counts is the willingness to work despite the opposition.

In a season of opposition the grace of God is there to back you up as you grind. 

 

Opposition to work comes in two fold: VERBAL, and PHYSICAL. 

 

What people SAY or DO to you may have the potential to positively or negatively influence your progress. Many careers have come to end because of what was said or done. Similarly what was said has propelled some people to greater heights. 

 

Romans 8:31 (CEV)

What can we say about all this? If God is on our side, can anyone be against us?

 

1 Verbal opposition 

Nehemiah 4:3 CSB

Then Tobiah the Ammonite, who was beside him, said, “Indeed, even if a fox climbed up what they are building, he would break down their stone wall!”

 

Verbal opposition should not have a negative bearing on a believer. You can flip around negative words aimed at you. Seek to reframe every negative saying towards you with positivity. Aim to exceed every negative word, by consciously working hard to succeed no matter what. 

 

What everyone around has to say about you is not important, what God say about you is more important. The promise of God is everything. What they say about you does not negate what God has already said. God has given your the power to generate wealth. 

 

2 Physical opposition 

Every physical opposition in a believer is influenced by a spiritual force. Take up your spiritual amour. We restless not agains human opposition. The opposition might seem to come from humans, but it is Spiritual. Take-up you spiritual arms. You can never win a spiritual battle in the physical. Don’t fight the manifestation, fight the source.

 

Ephesians 6:12 CSB

We are not fighting against humans. We are fighting against forces and authorities and against rulers of darkness and powers in the spiritual world.

 

What they do to your or your work does not negate the purpose of GOD FOR YOUR LIFE. 

Romans 8:31 (CEV)

What can we say about all this? If God is on our side, can anyone be against us?

 

• Learn to be a person of excellence in tandem with being a spiritual fighter. 
• Win the battle through an excellent spirit, total dedication and spiritual warfare. 
• Never fight people at work or in business, vengeance is mine say the Lord
• In a good season stay in prayer and the word, building capacity for more grace.  

 

Conclusion

 

Nehemiah 4:15 CSB

When our enemies heard that we knew their scheme and that God had frustrated it, every one of us returned to his own work on the wall.

 

• Be in the know, understand the challenge you are facing
• God will always frustrate the plans of the enemy.
• Keep doing what you are supposed to be doing. Keep working in Jesus name.
