Title: Be Steadfast in Labour of Love.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.1 Corinthians 15:58 KJV

Devotion: If you want to succeed in life you must be steadfast in whatever you do. In secondary school I was not a genius but I was hardworking because my dad would not have me sit around without reading daily. So it became an habit and I became one of the best in my class. I know other good students too were hardworking.

 A sloppy artisan will suffer hunger while a hardworking one will flourish. As a follower of Christ we are called to evangelise (Matt 28:20) and there's no room for relaxation if we actually want to achieve the crown.

  This is the crux of the counsel given above by Apostle Paul(1 Cor.15:58). We cannot afford to be sloppy in the work of God, we must be steadfast and diligent with the work because our labour is not in vain. 

 Dearly beloved, it is another weekend you can use it wisely visiting the hospital, prison, the neighborhood and telling people about Jesus Christ, assist that elderly person in the neighborhood. Do not forget to give generously to the needy, don't wait till someone will ask before you give. All of these are your labour of love in the vineyard and great reward awaits you. Hallelujah.
