PARTNERS WITH JESUS

1 Corinthians 1:8-9 NLT He will keep you strong to the end so that you will be free from all blame on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns. God will do this, for he is faithful to do what he says, and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

I wonder if you’ve ever had a desire to go into business in some way, like owning a shop or running an internet business, to be independent of working for someone else? Or maybe you thought you would need someone in partnership with you to share the load and the expense? 

Well, God has invited each one of us into partnership with Jesus and we know Jesus told His parents when He was 12 years old, “I must be about my Father’s business.” So, we are all in business whether we realise it or not because we are all partners with Jesus in the business of  His Kingdom.😊

Philippians 1:6  NLT And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.

Whether we’re a parent raising a family, retired, or a business person, a carer or a teacher, no matter who we are, we are all in partnership with Jesus which means He is partnering with us in all we do as well. 

He’s not a silent partner or a sleeping partner, but He is with us by His Holy Spirit to give counsel, to provide funding, to develop ideas and strategies, to be our back up in all we do whether it’s in His kingdom work or in our day to day lives.

So be encouraged today to know your Partner Jesus, and your Heavenly Father, will continue God’s work in you and through you until the day Jesus returns to bring us home to be with Him. And don’t forget in Deuteronomy 28:6 NLT ‘wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be blessed.’ Why? Because you’re in partnership with Jesus, the King of Kings. Thank You Lord! Amen.😊
