Message

The account of some of Joshua 's great exploits can be found in Joshua 12. The chapter highlights all the kings he conquered and the lands he possessed. It was indeed a long list of victories, and any fellow who achieved the things Joshua did would be proud of such exploits. However, in the next chapter, which is today 's Bible reading, God told him that even though he was now old, there remained much land to be possessed. God then went ahead to list all the lands that remained unconquered, making him know that there was still so much to do.

Beloved, there is a set time when you must do the works of Him who sent you. In John 9:4, Jesus said,"I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work!" For every human, there is a daytime and a nighttime. The daytime is the portion of a fellow 's life when he or she is young and agile. In the daytime, a fellow has the strength to go around preaching the gospel of Christ and can fast and pray as long as he or she wants to. However, by nighttime, the fellow 's strength would have abated. Also, when some people 's nighttime comes, they become sick and are unable to continue working. Therefore, if you have the opportunity to do God 's work now, do it with all your strength and focus. Even if you are well advanced in years, the fact that you are alive means that there is still so much you can do for God, just as He showed Joshua in today 's Bible reading.

There are 24 hours in a day. Approximately half of those hours are characterised by the presence of sunlight, and during those hours, most people work on their goals, After those hours of light, darkness descends.

Jesus said in John 11:10 that if a man walks in the night, he stumbles. This means that NOW is the time to serve God and carry out any assignments He might have committed into your hands. You must get to work now because when the night comes, no one, including you will be able to work. Therefore, work while it is still day. Don 't procrastinate God 's work. Heal the sick, preach the gospel, cast out demons, mentor the next generation, and let your light so shine before men that they may glorify your Father in heaven.

RCCG Hymn

To the work! to the work! we are servants of God

To the work! to the work! we are servants of God,
Let us follow the path that our Master has trod;
With the balm of His counsel our strength to renew.
Let us do with our might what our hands find to do.

Toiling on, toiling on.
Toiling on, toiling on.
Let us hope, let us watch,
And labour till the Master comes.

To the work! to the work! let the hungry be fed,
To the fountain of life let the weary be led!
In the cross and its banner our glory shall be.
While we herald the tidings, "Salvation is free!"
To the work! to the work! there is labour for all.
For the kingdom of darkness, and error shall fall;
And the name of Jehovah exalted shall be.
In the loud-swelling chorus, "Salvation is free!"
To the work! to the work! in the strength of the Lord,
And a robe and a crown shall our labour reward.
When the home of the faithful our dwelling shall be.
And we shout with the ransomed, "Salvation is free!
