MAN’S ROLE IN GOD’S WORKS

     In the above discussion, we have seen the advancement of the Lord’s work from the era of Noah to the end of the world. We have also seen the current work the Lord is doing in our era; that is, the building of the church and the preparation of the bride for His second coming.

     In every one of God’s works throughout all the eras we have seen above, man plays a vital role. Man is in the centre of God and His work, yes, he is in the middle of the purpose of God and its accomplishment. Man’s role in the work is to cooperate with the purposeful God and willingly offer himself [and all that he has] to Him as a channel through which God can accomplish His purpose.

     Man’s cooperation with God is to be in tune with God by diligently seeking Him and spending ample time in His presence. Of course, when man gets in tune with God, he has constant fellowship with Him. Thus, the Lord will communicate His heart to man, and man will know His up-to-date plans. After receiving revelation of God’s agenda, man’s final role in the accomplishment of the work is to offer himself thoroughly for the mighty use of God.

     Behold, in every era that God had accomplished something significant, He got a few people who stayed in tune with Him to know the desires of His heart and willingly offered themselves to Him for His use. If man is not in the position to work with the Lord, the Lord’s work suffers a delay.

     Dear saints, in this era that the Lord is building the church and preparing His bride for His second coming, His eyes are searching for those who will cooperate with Him and surrender their all for working with Him. The Lord had worked with the early apostles, and continued this work with a few other servants who were willing to cooperate with Him after their departure. Since He is not yet back, He is still in the business of building the church and preparing His bride. Therefore, He is looking for a few more saints to recruit for His kingdom work. On every day, His eyes are searching, and on every occasion, He is sounding the trumpet, calling for new workers. Till the Lord comes, the recruitment of new workers shall not cease. Till the world comes to an end, the Lord will not stop working with His workers for the building up of the church (Matthew 9:37 to 38). Oh, that the Lord will find a few more workers for His mighty use in our generation!
