991. Workers’ Equipment

If we keep along God’s lines, we shall obtain His power.

1. One Authority. The Authority for the worker is the Word of God. The Spirit’s mandate is “Preach the Word” (2Ti_4:2), then we are sure of the Spirit’s application—Act_10:44.

2. One Resource. The Spirit is our Source and Supply. When we are “endued with power from on high” (Luk_24:49; Act_2:4), then we are effective, because He is—1Pe_1:12.

3. One Inspiration. “Love of Christ constraineth” (2Co_5:14). When we are melted and moved by this love, we move and melt others.

4. One Aim. To be “well-pleasing unto the Lord” (2Co_5:9, R.V.). When the attitude of our heart is right with the Lord, we shall aim to please Him.

5. One Principle. “Serving the Lord” (Rom_12:11); and acting “in” Him, then service can never be “in vain” (1Co_15:58).

6. One Condition. “Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men” (Mat_4:19). Follow to fish, and be made to catch.

7. One End. “The glory of God.” “All in Christ, by the Holy Spirit, for the glory of God, all else is nothing.”
