2 Thessalonians 3: 10
10: For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not
work, neither should he eat.
What does this mean? Many have a misconception of what was meant with this part of scripture. Many of us feel that if we do not have a job, then we should not eat. Its one thing to be healthy and not working, its another thing to be lazy and not working. Even the healthy and lazy who do not work seems to still eat? There are many who may be on welfare without a job and still are able to eat. Then you have some who are wealthy and really don't need to work and they still eat. Why? Many have a job and they make good money and are able to eat. Some people have lost their jobs, does that mean that they should no longer be able to eat? Some people have their jobs taken from them because the Lord has a specific plan in their lives. Does this mean that you should not continue to eat because one may no longer have a job? Absolutely not. Whatever job one may have does not necessarily mean that he is entitled to eat! Whatever job we have was a blessing from God to do the work of God in the area of our employment, careers, jobs, etc.... The Lord loves that we have jobs to take care of ourselves and family, but that is not the work that entitles us to eat. The work he is talking about is making fishers of men. Its a work that means to find the hidden treasures in the field and bring them to know Jesus. You can do this at your area of employment without being in any form of structured ministry. Our work is a work of the Lord, not a work from man.
In Matthew 13: 44 it says
44: Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which
when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that
he hath, and buyeth that field.
Our area of employment, whatever that may be is the field where hidden treasures are located. The hidden treasures are the lost souls of man. Most of the lost souls are hidden in the fields in the world or at our area of employment. Our jobs is to find these hidden treasures and make them unhidden. how do we do that? Simply by preaching the Gospel of Jesus. This is the work that if we do not do, we do not eat. It has nothing to do with having a job at a specific company or a specific career. Wherever we are blessed to work, The Lord wants us to buy the field and find whats hidden and bring them to Christ. When we find whats hidden and bring them to Christ the more of the field you will be able to own. The more fields you own, the more hidden treasures we will find.
In the world you may be asked what field are you in? Or if you are in school what field are you studying for?
Well according to the Word of God, our fields of employment are where the lost souls are. We are to locate the hidden treasures in the field and bring them to Christ.
Whether you are working or not! our jobs is to find the hidden treasures in the field.
If we are unwilling to do this job for the Lord, then we should be unable to eat. Simple!
Let no man deceive you into thinking that if you do not have a job, then you will not eat. Many of us don't have a job, but we are still looking for the hidden treasures in the field, then you have some who have jobs
and could care less of the hidden treasures in the field!
Who do you think should be able to eat?
Behold, Jesus Christ is coming, are you ready?
