Daily Devotions

John 4: 34-35"My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work."

We learn from the revelation from Jesus that His nourishment and strength comes from doing the will of God. Obedience to the word of God brings about excitement and vitality. When we are up and about and doing the work of God, we will be so charged up that we would not feel the demands and fatigue of ministry.

This is a mystery but we can continue for long hours and even into the wee hours of the night and we will still not be tired but with the strength and energy to move on. I remember when I was in the mission fields and my host lined up a series of meetings which were back to back and the last one was a midnight prayer from 11.00pm to around 4 am.

There was such a powerful presence of the Holy Spirit that everyone was energized and no one was sleepy or tired. This is also the same when we attend all night prayers and we would be able to pass through the night effortlessly and with full alertness.

This tells us that when we are dedicated to the work of God, not only is He with us, He is also enabling us to operate in strength and power.

Jesus showed us the example as a man so that we too can follow His steps and do what He has done.

The way that Jesus taught His disciples is through show and tell. He taught and he demonstrated so that in the same way the disciples can imitate and practise to be perfected. This is also our calling that we too must continue to be hands on and practise so that we may achieve experience and perfection.
