“The Lord said to Moses, “When you return to Egypt, see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders I have given you the power to do…”” Exodus 4:21 NIV
Some believe that capitalists created work to enslave the larger portion of the world that can’t wield enough power to create their destinies. For that reason, work becomes a mundane activity – something to get rid of. It becomes a curse that we must bear for decades before we can retire and be free from its clutches. This is a wrong mindset.
God created work. According to the Bible, work was the only way the first man could manage the earthly resources given to him. Christ also came to do the work given to Him by His Father. So, it’s not mundane but an instrument.
The work we do creates an impact on the lives of others. It gives them testimonies that they’ve prayed for. The Engineer who builds cars is helping a family move easily across the country. The Doctor who prescribes medication is helping a wounded father of five live a little longer. The teacher who helps students understand complex concepts is moulding the next president.
When God wants to make a man extraordinary, He gives him two things; the first is Power. This power is simply an enablement. When you use it to do the work committed into your hands, it becomes Energy that materializes in diverse ways for different people. According to Physics, Energy is the power to do work.
In the focus scripture, Moses needed something to prove himself. The work he was sent to do was to liberate the children of Israel from Egypt. But to do that, he needed an added ability. He had a staff which he used to wield the power of God to get the work done. Without it, he would have been taken for granted in Egypt.
Yes, you have work to do, but every work requires power to make it fruitful. Therefore, people leverage either the positive or negative forces of the spiritual realm. Both come with a type of power and those who understand this use it to do wonders through their work. While they both lead to different consequences, the result is the same – exponential results that are unattainable with just the ability of the mortal man.
You also carry the power to do the work you’ve been sent to do. The power is to be used so don’t keep it dormant. Activate the power in you with the help of the Holy Spirit and do wonders through your work.
