CONSIDER YOURSELF AN ANT
Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! (Proverbs 6:6)
I read this verse, a few times in my walk and I have heard people use it in their teaching and it is usually, on laziness which is true and an exceptional point to make yet, when I read the verse "Consider stood out" I ask the Holy spirit in the morning before I write what do you want your people to know?
I looked at the verse again and I wanted to be obedient so I considered the ant.
Consider means to: look attentively at: think about and be drawn toward (a course of action): regard (someone or something) as having a specified quality: take (something) into account when making an assessment or judgment:
I watched a video about ants and as I watched it I was so drawn by their tenacity, their motivation, their strength they keep moving, with one goal in mind as they prepare. They are preparing, They honor the head the Queen (in our case GOD first) and They are on one Accord as they work towards the same purpose. I tell you I got so much out of that short video. Ants are self- Motivated no one instructs them or has to tell them what to do they make use of every moment; Ants have the ability to bear more than 3 times their weight; Ants have initiative which some of us do not: people who must be told what to do; people who need to be directed do not posses wisdom
See ants are committed to what is going to come.
We prepare when the weather man tells us a major storm, hurricane, flood or tornado is coming: Even when we don't see it, hmm. We rush out for food and supplies, board up our windows, put sand bags out (Seem familiar? Kind of like Ants, huh?) but when the people of God tell us Jesus is coming back we get slothful, we remain stagnated, wishy-washy, we sit back without making any preparation at all and "What happens to people who do not prepare? they take a direct hit and let tell you there will be no state of emergency, no Red Cross and no Fema when Jesus comes back it will be too late to try to work. Joh 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
Every ant has a job. Worker ants may have one job or several jobs.
Consider your gifts right here the bible says, we serve a different purpose under the same spirit that worketh in us. 1 cor 12:4,12,27 There are diversities of gifts but the same Spirit works in all, We are on the same team! Rom 12:4; Eph 4:16.
Joh 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. Joh 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
Some workers gather food for the colony. When an ant finds food, it lays down a scent trail for others to follow to the food. Consider the Shepherd right here the Men/Women of God who gather they receive the word of God from Heaven and Feed your soul they sow life into you
Some ants store the food they harvest in special chambers in the nest. Consider right here the Ministers in the church they should be able to train those special chambers (a chamber is also defined as a small group of instruments) See everybody wants to preach but a ministers job is also to train other leaders so that you can flourish and grow and share with others read Titus
Other workers feed and care for the queen and her developing young. Consider right here the Armour Bearers those who serve under the man/woman of God giving assistance to them in the the development of the vision of there ministry and the vision of the church. Glory to God these workers are slaves to righteousness.
Still others build the chambers and tunnels. They use their saliva to make the dirt walls hard. Consider the choir/the praise team right here because it is through praise and worship that a wall is build up that the enemy cannot penetrate and if the enemy can't get it in yoke can be broken, burdens can be lifted and people can be set free.
Some worker ants are soldiers. They defend the colony and fight off their enemies (other ants or other kinds of insects). Hallelujah, as we consider the Prayer Warriors and the Watchmen right here see Prayer Warriors show up dressed up bearing the whole Armour of God and ready. their job is to cover the church (Pastors, Leaders, Members, communities, etc.; they are posted and pray without ceasing) They fight on their knees praying constantly and consistently.
Thank You, Holy Spirit!!
Someone, mentioned this to me as a Topic and before I write anything, I empty myself of me and seek the Holy Spirit, I am but a vessel. I can do nothing without God. I am so Blessed and so amazed as the Holy Spirit ministers to me there are 2 places I sit in - in my apartment and I listen and type and my God I have found that when I am released it is hours later, even dark outside and have not had food or water but, sustained Hallelujah! God is so good Y'all when you develop a personal relationship with him and submit your will to his you will see just how awesome, sweet loving, caring, big and real God is my everything and I Love God more than anything, I do not care who knows it.
