Final Words
You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you
should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, and that
whatever you ask the Father in My Name He may give you.
For we are God’s fellow workers; you are God’s field, you are God’s
building
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellence of the
power may be of God and not of us
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own
understanding
In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your path
…And which of you having a servant ploughing or tending sheep, will say
to him when he has come from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to
eat’? But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for my supper,
and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and
afterward you will eat and drink’?
Does he thank the servant because he did the things that were
commanded him? I think not
So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are
commanded to do, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done
what is our duty to do.
(John 15:16; I Cor 3:9; 2Cor. 4:7; Proverbs 3:5-7; Luke 17:7-10)
