YOU WILL ENJOY THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOUR

 Ecclesiastes 5:8-20

YOU WILL ENJOY THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOUR

    

    It is one thing to labour and toil; it is another thing for one to enjoy the fruits of his labour. No one prays for labour loss. Every person who works has a reward and the joy of every labourer is in this reward. However, our passage today points out that eating the fruits of one's labour is a gift of God (v. 18 - 20). That is, it is God who gives riches to man and grace to enjoy the fruits of his labour. Man may work tirelessly to gather riches but it is God who gives success. No man has the power to keep himself alive; we all are alive by the mercy of the Lord. In Lamentation 3:22-23, the Bible says

"Through the Lord's mercies, we are not consumed, because His compassion fail not. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness."

    Beloved, it is very important for you to know that your life belongs to God; He is the Author of all things visible and invisible. You do not have any power over your life and there is nothing you can do to help yourself. It is God who prospers your labour and supplies power and sound health to enjoy the fruits of labour. Some persons die at the verge of their breakthroughs while some parents suffer loss of their children at the point  of reaping the fruits of their labour. Some others are afflicted once they are promoted. The message of the Lord to you today is that you will live in sound health to enjoy the fruits of your labour, in Jesus name. You will not labour in vain,

PRAYER:    Dear Father, give me long life to enjoy the fruits of my labour, in Jesus Name. Amen.
