ZEALOUS FOR GOOD DEEDS Often the success of an undertaking depends on the attitudes or morale of those doing the work! If attitudes are not proper, the work may not get done, or get delayed (Neh. 4:10):  Attitude towards safety: Injuries or death could result.  Attitude towards success: Defeatism could doom work to failure at outset.  Attitude towards morale: Low morale could delay work, and even stop it altogether. Nehemiah 4: Thus in Judah it was said, "The strength of the burden bearers is failing, Yet there is much rubbish; And we ourselves are unable To rebuild the wall."

ZEALOUS FOR GOOD DEEDS Christians have work to do & are to be zealous to do them There is much to do and saints need to be zealous for good works to possess the proper attitudes to get it done! There is much to do and saints need to be zealous for good works to possess the proper attitudes to get it done! Eph. 2: For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them. Titus 2: who gave Himself for us to redeem us from every lawless deed, and to purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.

ZEALOUS FOR GOOD DEEDS If we do not think we can do something, we are not going to try it  The spies sent by Moses to spy out Canaan (Num. 13:17ff; 14:11-12) Through faith “all things are possible” with God! (Phil. 4:13)  Mt. 17:14-20: Jesus’ disciples failed in casting out demons – their faith was small  Our faith will see us through; we can overcome life’s trials (Eph. 6:16; I Jn. 5:4) Mt. 5: "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. A powerful faith will have one rely on God & accomplish much for Him! A powerful faith will have one rely on God & accomplish much for Him!

ZEALOUS FOR GOOD DEEDS We should not be despondent and downhearted!  I Pet. 3:15; Phil. 4:4 (I Thess. 5:16); Rom. 8:18; Phil. 3:20 We have so many good things for which to be thankful!  We are forgiven of our sins (Eph. 1:7)  We are the children of God (I John 3:1-3)  We have all spiritual blessings (Eph. 1:3)  We will receive the crown of life (II Tim. 4:7-8)  There is a home prepared for us in heaven (Jn. 14:2-3) Phil. 4:4 4. Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! With an attitude of joy, working for God will hardly seem like work! With an attitude of joy, working for God will hardly seem like work!

ZEALOUS FOR GOOD DEEDS Js. 5:16: The prayer of the righteous accomplishes much!  God listens to the prayer of the righteous! (I Pet. 3:12) We know that:  God answers prayer (Mt. 7:7-11, 21:18-22)  Prayer is the strap that holds the Armor of God together (Eph. 6:18)  Prayer changes things (Js. 5:16-18) Js. 5: Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. The righteous are to have an attitude of constant communion with God in prayer! (I Thess. 5:17) The righteous are to have an attitude of constant communion with God in prayer! (I Thess. 5:17)

ZEALOUS FOR GOOD DEEDS We must have a love for the Lord!  Jn. 14:23-24; I John 5:3 We must possess a love for the brethren!  I Jn. 4:20-21 (Jn. 13:34-35); Heb. 10:23-25, 13:1 (I Cor. 1:10; Phil. 2:1-4) I Jn. 5:3 3. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome. We must have love for the lost!  Lk. 19:10 ; Luke 15:1-7  (II Tim. 2:24-26; II Cor. 5:10-11) If you do not have love you will not care enough to be zealous for good deeds! (I Cor. 13:1-3) If you do not have love you will not care enough to be zealous for good deeds! (I Cor. 13:1-3)

ZEALOUS FOR GOOD DEEDS Persistency of effort is the secret of success!  Lk. 18:1-8; I Thess. 5:16-17 Application:  Noah (Gen. 6:3; I Pet. 3:20)  Nehemiah (Neh. 4:10, 18, 21)  Paul (Phil. 3:12-15) Neh. 4:18, As for the builders, each wore his sword girded at his side as he built, while the trumpeter stood near me. 21. So we carried on the work with half of them holding spears from dawn until the stars appeared. We must not be discouraged by lack of results!  Persistence is not giving up when results are lacking (Acts 17:32-33)  We will not be condemned for a lack of results but will be for a lack of effort (Mt. 25:14-30) A persistent attitude will not let discouragement slow us down or stop us from working for the Lord! A persistent attitude will not let discouragement slow us down or stop us from working for the Lord!

ZEALOUS FOR GOOD DEEDS CONCLUSION Do you have what it takes to work for the Lord? Is your light shining? Or is it hid under a basket? If the work of the Lord is going to be accomplished, it will be by those who are:  Faithful, Joyful, Prayerful, Loving, and Persistent!
