It's Time To Labor More Abundantly!

1 Corinthians 15:1-10; Joshua 1:8; Matthew 26:41

We are walking in today:  It's Time To Labor More Abundantly!

1 Corinthians 15:1-10 1) Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2) By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4) And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: 5)And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6) After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.  7) After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. 8) And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. 9) For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10)But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.  The Greek defines--more abundantly as, exceeding some number or measure or rank or need; over and above, more than is necessary, superadded; exceeding abundantly, supremely;  something further, more, much more than all, more plainly; superior, extraordinary, surpassing, uncommon;  pre-eminence, superiority, advantage, more eminent, more remarkable, more excellent.  I labored, in the Greek is defined: to grow weary, tired, exhausted (with toil or burdens or grief)  to labour with wearisome effort, to toil; of bodily labour.  Fiveamprayer are we really laboring in His word?  Exhausted from searching and studying to draw closer and closer to Him? Feeling the grief of God for those that are lost in the world that He is trying to draw to Him, by His love?  Applying much effort in reading and meditating on His word--shutting out the worldly distractions and focused on Him and His voice alone?  I know that we have been walking in tests, trials, and tribulations but guess what, it is time for you to labor more abundantly!  Similar to a woman giving birth, she may be no doubt tired and needing to rest but there are times for rest and times for work.  There is not stopping in the middle of labor and not continue--so we can not, stop in the middle of meditating on His word, of seeking more and more of Him in His word.  God is calling for us to labor over His word.  God is calling us to labor over prayer.  He wants us to labor over our children--to labor over the things that we have been believing and trusting God for.  It is gonna come by your work, your toil.  The things that you are walking and moving in--trusting in God for.  The things that you gotta believe God for.  God is telling you this morning--it is because of His grace, that we have not been consumed in the first place.  Thank You God!  Because His grace is sufficient.  His mercy changes not!  Amen!  God comes on a Monday morning, with a word--that you will need to labor more abundantly.  Some things are gonna come through our prayers, some are through fasting, some by us just trusting and believing--what the word of God says.  Cause the enemy is pressing us like never before!  I don't know about you, but this time and season has been a press in 2012.  I know this is our year of authority and that all things are under our feet.  But you are gonna have to labor more abundantly.  If you wanna see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  You are gonna really have to fight this devil in this time of spiritual warfare.  It is a time for us to pick up our swords and start swinging like never before!  You are gonna have to get some skill with your weapon, to be able to strike blows on target.  We are gonna have to labor more abundantly.  To go beyond what we think is enough--the flesh may be tired but we must still press on, press in and labor more abundantly!  God is saying this morning, get up with a new mind set!  Get up with a new way of fighting!  Get up with some new ideas, some of us need to write the vision and make it plain.  Some of us need to go back to the old landmarks, to pray like never before!  To pray like we used to pray!  I'm talking about getting up early in the morning--seeking God like never before.  It is time to labor more abundantly.  It is time to fight like never before!  We keep forgetting that we are in a fight.  We keep forgetting that we are this is spiritual warfare time!  We keep forgetting that the battle is not ours, it is the Lord's. This is a fixed fight!  He knows the end from the very beginning!  We win anyway!  But faith, without works is dead.  Where is your labor?  What are you doing?  Are you really walking in what God told you to do?  Are you really getting up early every morning to swing your sword?  His grace is sufficient.  We have to keep laboring more abundantly.  Labor more abundantly in our marriages, with our children, and in our finances.  Do you even understand when the word says, that we have to labor more abundantly?!  You are gonna have to come on and drop down on your face and pray--like never before!  Give God abundantly blessings, in your praise!  Some of us, are laying down on our praise!  Praise Him abundantly, fiveamprayer, He has blessed us abundantly!  With His word, wrapped in flesh to redeem us back into Him!  Thank You Lord!  That He would bankrupt heaven to restore us back to Him.  That is the greatest gift of abundance ever!  Thank You Lord!  Bless Your name!  That we can have life and that more abundantly!  This life more abundantly, and laboring more abundantly does that mean that we must--dig and mine the abundance?  That it is only available to us when we are working the word?  Or walking out the word?  Trusting in the word?  Standing on the word?  Speaking the word only?  Eyes locked in on the word?  That this is our year of authority and that the abundance we are seeking must be labored for?  Is is possible that it is all right before us, but without the labor we will not see it nor be able to take possession of it?  God has all that we need, ask, or think, already prepared for us--He is not making a mad dash to the the store to go pick up what we are requesting.  He is often just waiting on us, so that He can bless us.  Labor more abundantly, fiveamprayer!
Get up this morning and tell Him no matter what, I am going through I will labor in Your word Lord.  We have to labor to give birth to what God placed on the inside of us, in this season.  He died and got up on the third day, we are to labor like never before--we are to pray always and not to faint.  We are directed to watch and pray.  This is revelation time, we are to labor more abundantly.  He is more than able!  With man things are impossible, with God all things are possible.  The enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy.  We must get up early seeking Him in His word!  We come to You this morning, lifting up fiveamprayer to labor more abundantly in Your word, Lord.  It is in His word that we find the overflow blessings.  We bless Your name, for who You are!  Forgive us for not wanting to labor in Your word.  We are to meditate on His word.  Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.  We are to watch and pray--Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.  This scripture shows up again in Mark 14:38, so we know that this is not something we can do on our own.  We can seek out other believers to stand in agreement with you.  Seek out godly wisdom and spend time reading His word.  Pray for understanding of what you have read.  Ask God to show and tell you what He it teaching you in this situation.  Thank You Lord for forgiving us with no condemnation, because we are covered in the perfect, precious blood of Jesus.  We lift this prayer up to you, Lord.

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  We will labor more abundantly!  Because Your grace has not changed!  You are the same yesterday, today and forever more!

Welcome to the overflow...
 We are to have a relationship with God, because of how much we love Him, that He first loved us!  While we were yet sinners, He sent His only Son to die, to restore us!  He is coming back again.  The time and the seasons are showing that He is on His way, back again.  Be on watch, when you wake up at 10pm and don't know why, go into prayer!  Fiveamprayer be on watch, get in His word.  We need to be on watch!  There are different set times for watch, the first watch is at 10 pm, then second watch is at midnight, then third watch 3am.  Are you on watch and really laboring more abundantly before the Lord?  We are to watch and to pray!  Be on God.  Be ready in season and out of season!  Labor in His word!  Know who He is!  Know what He has done!   He is true to His word.  He watches over His word to perform it.  Get in and stay in His word!  Take some time out to read the scriptures for yourself.  Take your Bible with you to work and read it on your lunch break.  He is such a good friend--He laid His life down for you.  A friend that you can call day or night!  Hallelujah!  Take some time and labor more abundantly, fiveamprayer!  Thank You for Your grace--unmerited favor!  Have a supernatural Monday!  Visit us on facebook, it will encourage you!  Yea and Amen!
