Back to Swing and Reaping
FRirst God gives us a precept -
Now God gives us a primise.
Reasons why we Faint
1: We Neglect our Motivation.
It is interesting to contrast two churches that are commended for “work, labor, and patience”
There are 2 different christians here.
Both are Laboring for God.
That is, obedient, tithing, resisting, fighting fight, running the race...
One of these christians gives up - forsakes his first love.
The Other does not grow weary and continues.
What is the different?
Only 1 is called a lobour of LOVE.
The church at Ephesus had actually left its first love and was backslidden (Rev.
2:4–5).
Why?
The answer is seen in the commendation to the Thessalonian church: “Work of faith, labor of love, patience of hope.”
Not just work, labor, and patience, but the proper motivation: “faith, love, and hope.”
How easy it is for us to work for the Lord, but permit the spiritual motivation to die.
Like the priests of Israel that Malachi addressed, we serve the Lord but complain, “Behold, what a weariness is it”
2: We Faint When we Forget our Devotion to the Word.
What happens to a man who does not eat, for days - he grows weak and weary.
I think lots of christians are weak, are weary, are tired, or giving up, because they forgot one of the most well known of Jesus teachings.
Listen to His words: “Man shall not” is not just a commanded, its a reality.
The man who neglects God word is the man who has forgotten that he has a spirit.
He thinks only in term of the material.
3: We Faint when we neglect prayer.
Sometimes we faint because of lack of prayer.
Prayer is to the spiritual life what breathing is to the physical life, and if you stop breathing, you will faint.
4: We faint when we try to go it alone.
God has told us that it is not good for man to be alone.
We need help, we need encouragement, we need support.
Doctors have for years noted the remarkable difference between children who receive support and encouragement and those who do not.
Those that are support outperform those that art by heaps and bound.
As a pastor and a leader, i know the need for support and encouragement.
Its not praise we are after its appreciation.
I always think to the story of Moses.
Aaron and Hur supported Moses when his hands grew tired.
And all of them prospered a s result.
Let me tell you something, there are amazing people at this church who will encourage and support you, who will hold up your hands so that you can have the victory.
5: We faint due to lack of rest.
God places great emphasis on the importance of rest.
God sees it as a time of reshreshment and renewal and recovery.
The Sabbath is that commanded in the Old Covenant.
And while Jesus is our sabbath, the reality of rest is still important.
Here is a christian man, who was very ill, but notice what made him il: V 30.
The Work of Christ made him ill, because he served without though of himself.
Now that may be commendable on one hand, but it is also, as Paul says, foolish on the other.
What good is a burnt out worker?
What prophet is Christian so exhausted that he can no longer do the work of an evangelist?
REST: God’s Best Require Rest.
