The Majesty of Labour

The Majesty of Labour

Introduction

The time is 6:40am and I am sitting thrilled on my writing desk in Aguda, the central area of Surulere, Lagos. I am grossly encapsulated with enthusiasm because; I am introducing a work of revelation that broadens my life and destiny. God leaned on the oars of this work to tear down barriers that barricaded my ministerial exploit, and I know that as you fellowship with the profoundness of its depth, you will take a new leap unto boundless achievement.

Work is the only reason for living that is why the relationship between God and men can only be established around work. Labour is majestic because it bears the crown of men’s glory. God can only be found in men’s work place; therefore an idle man can’t be identified with God. God committed the earth into the hand of man after creation, so men’s places on earth are given to them through their work. Man is an agent of dominion but dominion can only be exercised through labour. It is only through the work of men’s hand that they are expected to subdue the earth. Since it is only through work that men exercise dominion, an indolent man who is not identified with any form of work is made smaller than himself. He is an irrelevant man who can’t be identified with the glory of God. God hides His glory in men’s work and it is only through the work of men that the glory of God can be unveiled on earth. When God gives men work, He establishes relationship with them through fellowship.

God can’t separate men from what they have and what God gives men must be identified with their work. God forms the destinies of men through their work and anybody who is not working can’t have destiny. People destroy their future in idleness. To be idle is to mock your future. As men unveil themselves through their works, they unveil their destinies. Man was created on earth to dress and keep the earth. His relevance on earth is interpreted from his work. Men’s lives on earth are also sustained through work. Therefore, avoiding work is another way of declaring ourselves irrelevant and non-existent. Since God hides the crown of men’s glory in their work, an idler will not have a taste of God’s glory on earth. It is only through the work of men that they can be introduced to the earth. Because our dominion and augustness are established through labour, those who are enthroned through their work will always govern others.

Every throne is established on labour sacrifice, and kings manifest rule through the work of their hands. Nations and societies where the importance of work is relegated to the background will remain as paupers. Sweat has a loud voice and lasting dominion is established through labour. It is impossible for God to deny men what they achieved with their hands.

This book which exercises its virtues and revelations on why men must work is a gift you must not hide from those you expect to achieve relevance. Any kingdom where there is no work must not be associated with man. It is a kingdom where men are not relevant. Since work is one of the ways men discover themselves, those who don’t work can’t interpret their future. God fulfil promises that He made to men through their works. If we are designed to arrest our future through our work, it means that it’s only through our work that our destinies can be interpreted. The work of every man reveals his face and the face of his God; therefore idlers are godless and faceless.

Through the page of this book, God is persuading all men to re-identify their destinies through labour majesty. Since man is a being of majesty, we must go back to work so that we can extract the hidden riches of God’s glory that is ducked in labour majesty.
