HAPPINESS IS A KEY IN KINGDOM ASSIGNMENT
Jesus in the sermon on the mount spelt out the characteristics qualities of team players in the kingdom of grace. Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew
5:3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
HARVEST IS PLENTEOUS
The team leader Jesus declared to primary team players during is discipleship ministry
Matthew
9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
He did not end there he added pray ye therefore the lord of harvest that he will send forth labourers into the harvest. If the harvest was plenteous (ripe) 2017 years ago, how ripe is it now? Every team player is being addressed about the ripe harvest.
In Mark, Jesus said what I shall say unto you the (twelve disciples) I say unto all (you and I) watch! Jesus also stressed the fact that soul winning is like a relay race in its execution.
HEARERS AND DOERS OF THE WORD ARE BLESSED
Jesus is saying to every team player right here, now (because the world is alive), Therefore whosoever (amongst us team players) hears this sayings and do them, > He likens unto a wise person (labourers) who built his house upon the rock.. The rain descended and the floods came and the winds blow and beat upon the house, and it fell not for it was founded upon the rock Matthew 24:25. Trials, temptations persecutions and test will come against the faith of every team player.
HELP IS DIVINE AND GUARANTEED
Every team player should borrow a leaf from king David, the man after God's own heart in his divine appointment to serve God's people. Hear David's testimony or confession,
God is our refuge and strength a very present help in trouble psalm 46:1.
Trouble? Yes, that's why Jesus guaranteed us that any course of doing our assignment in the world, we shall experience tribulation (John 16:30b). He didn't stop there he added or assured or guaranteed us, "Be of good cheer I have overcome the world" divine help is in all its ramification will be on hand.
Apart from the fact that the holy spirit is our major helper, search the scriptures and you will be amazed at the source of divine help. The psalmist says I will lift up my eyes unto the hills from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the lord, which made the heaven and the earth.
CONCLUSION
Every team player is blessed and happiness is his or her middle name. The harvest of souls is ripe. We are to be continuous hearers and doers of the word for effectiveness and efficiency in service. The team later is handy and He is the source of our help to succeed.
Be a knight in your various team.
