Expect “greater things”. Keep your hand to the plow

Did you know that we are empowered so that we can live as Jesus instructed – to obey all of His commandments – how to live as His witnesses to the world? We can accomplish the purpose for which He has called us. We are expected to be effective followers of Christ, to get results.

Jesus said, “‘I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you’” (John 16:7).

They would be more effective with the Spirit’s presence in their lives than when Jesus was physically present with them. It is still the same today. Greater Works

John 14:12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in ME, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.

Expect “greater things”. A vital key to walking in the pathway of God’s miracles is to stay available to the implications of Jesus’ words here. When blessing comes in your work, service, or ministry, it is tempting to accept that this is “all” God has for you – to find it easy to stop and rest, rather than keeping your hand to the plow (Luke 9:62). Instead, refuse to allow the blessings of God’s grace on your work to lead you to think that He may not be ready to do even more in your life. He does not call you to attempt to produce more, but to ask and believe Him for more – for greater works He has in store for us to receive and, by His grace, achieve for His kingdom’s purpose and glory. Keep your heart set and ready for the next advance for His kingdom.
