Conditions of Successful Work for God - Dwight Lyman Moody
Exodus 6:1
Then the LORD said to Moses, Now shall you see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go…
1. Faith in God, and honest conviction that God will do as He says He will.
2. Courage to ,do what faith declares. God doesn’t use cowards or faint-hearted men to do much for Him. He told Joshua to be of good courage.
3. Perseverance. Keep right on in the place God gives you to work for Him. Many men fail right on the eve of battle. The best silver mine in England was worked for a long time by a man who became discouraged just before it yielded the richest ingots of choicest silver, and he sold out for a song and lost a princely fortune. Keep at it. Get others to help, and work and plod and win success.
4. Enthusiasm is a valuable element, and one that most men need. Too many are afraid of enthusiasm, but all of us need to put more fire and feeling in what we do for the Lord.
(D. L. Moody.)
