The WORK I do

 

2 Timothy 3:15-17

King James Version

15 And that from a child 

thou hast known the holy scriptures, 

which are able to make thee wise unto salvation 

through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, 

and is profitable for doctrine, 

for reproof, 

for correction, 

for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, 

thoroughly furnished unto all good works.


SCRIPTURE -- the WORD of GOD -- is all I care to know.

It is my go-to for everything.

GOD made me born again 28 months ago, and He is my devotion.

I write this post to share with you (as well as remind myself) of the PATH I took, in sharing Scripture with you each day.

SPIRIT gave me this particular instruction on 26 July 2021, which became the basis for our main blog:

"That all men may know the BIBLE, 

and live by it."


And now, the verses that guide me in my work for GOD, as writer:

Psalm 73:25-26

King James Version

25 Whom have I in heaven but thee

and there is none upon earth that I desire 

beside thee.

26 My flesh and my heart faileth

but God is the strength of my heart, 

and my portion for ever.


Psalm 119:97

King James Version

97 O how love I thy law! 

it is my meditation all the day.


Isaiah 14:27

King James Version

27 For the Lord of hosts hath purposed, 

and who shall disannul it? 

and his hand is stretched out, 

and who shall turn it back?


Isaiah 40:8

King James Version

8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth

but the word of our God shall stand for ever.


Ezekiel 33:6

King James Version

6 But if the watchman see the sword come, 

and blow not the trumpet, 

and the people be not warned; 

if the sword come, 

and take any person from among them, 

he is taken away in his iniquity; 

but his blood will I require 

at the watchman's hand.


John 3:30

King James Version

30 He must increase, 

but I must decrease.


John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, 

ye are the branches

He that abideth in me, 

and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit

for without me ye can do nothing.


1 Corinthians 2:2

King James Version

2 For I determined not to know any thing among you

save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.


Colossians 3:17

King James Version

17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, 

do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, 

giving thanks to God 

and the Father by him.


2 Timothy 2:15

King James Version

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, 

a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, 

rightly dividing the word of truth.

A Writing Ministry

Habakkuk 2:2
King James Version
2 And the Lord answered me, and said, 
Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, 
that he may run that readeth it.


I had no idea I had a "writing" ministry, but apparently, a Bible teacher, thought so.

He told me this, over two weeks ago.

All I know is that when "prompted" by the HOLY SPIRIT, I'd find myself writing, and writing, and writing.

So much so, that SPIRIT and I wrote 22 books on spiritual warfare in 36 days, on 24 November 2019 until 29 December 2019, as China was having the virus problem.

Spirit and I also wrote two more books on Jesus (non-fiction this time) after New Year.

Strangely enough, these books revealed the dreams and visions I'd been having for decades, which eerily echoed what the world was about to go through before the end of 2019 -- and what it was going through, all along.

It was surely God's perfect timing that I become a baby Christian on 6 September 2019, as proper preparation for those books.

In those 22 books, I had created a 26-year-old character, SCRIBU, the dream warrior, and scribe to Spirit.

SCRIBU stands for "Scripture-based understanding".

In between, Spirit and I wrote many posts on prophecy, and Bible passages often ignored.

I never knew when the "prompt" to write would come, but when it did, I had to pay attention to it right away, for it was just proper I'd pay attention to the Holy Spirit, and the Scripture verses that needed to be shared in my articles.

And because I was a writer, and internet marketer, I had the compulsion to share those prophecy posts, too.

Whether other marketers and readers cared, bought my books on Amazon, or paid attention, was of no immediate concern to me.

I was tasked to write, and I wrote.

They say you know if you really love your work, if you would do it, whether anyone cared to listen to you, or to "buy" your idea, product, or service.

And if no one did, you'd keep doing your work anyway.

The work had to stand on its own merits.

Well, I was in the service of the LORD.

I loved everything I was doing for Him.

It was the most enjoyable, unpaid work of my life!

The world wasn't paying me for my services.

All I do was free, as inspired, as prompted to write, and to share.

My Bible coach may just be right.

I may have a writing ministry.

Still, the Lord Jesus must be the focus:

John 3:30
King James Version
30 He must increase, 
but I must decrease.
