When a person has received from the Lord what the Lord wants him to do, he should not just rush into doing it. He should receive details from the Lord. The Lord does not say: “Go and evangelize this place,” and then leave it to man to decide the when, the how, the with whom, the extent, etc. God wants to give specific orders about these details, for His work must be done in the centre of His will with regards to timing, extent, sources of finances, etc.

Food is necessary for bodily growth. If a child who is born does not feed on the right food and in the right quantities, he will not grow healthily. The Lord Jesus said,

"Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4).

You must labour with a great sense of urgency. Decide that you will build the kingdom of God with a great sense of urgency. Time is against us.

It is sad that people want authority over others. They want to exert their influence. They want to be treated as lords. This is their way of seeking greatness. The Lord Jesus had another formula.

God is not responsible for your condition. You are responsible for it. The Lord Jesus said to the disciples …To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For to him who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not even what he has will be taken away.

It is God's will that all who have been made into new creatures through union with the Lord Jesus in His death, resurrection and exaltation should know for certain that they have eternal life and, therefore, will never perish. This assurance that they have permanently passed from death unto life in Christ, that the Lord will surely keep them to the end, that because they are in Christ they will be in heaven, is the right of the true believer, and he ought to enter into his full inheritance.

In the world the leaders run away from the most difficult tasks.  They run away from risky work.  They send the others to war and hide in the security and comforts of home.  This is not acceptable.  May it not be found in the church.

Until a person sees there can be no action - no action that is right.  For this reason the apostle Paul cried out to God that He may grant sight to the Church. 

One danger that a person faces in the course of working hard for the Lord and pressing on to accomplish the call of God in his life, is that he could easily turn his eyes off the Lord as he concentrates on the work.

The person who wants to accomplish his goal in the shortest possible time and as efficiently as possible, needs to be trained. Training enables the person to work hard. 

We believe that the relationship between the disciple and the disciple-maker should be clarified. If we look at the relationship that existed between the Lord of glory and His disciples, and that which existed between the apostle Paul and Timothy, etc, we can say the following:
