READ: Nehemiah 6:1-16
“I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do” John 17:4
Improve your speed of finishing. In order to increase your speed of finishing, follow the example of Jesus Christ! Jesus was urgent about finishing His work. He would cut out meals and anything that would keep Him from finishing His work.
In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Master, eat. But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of. Therefore said the disciples one to another, Hath any man brought him ought to eat? Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and TO FINISH HIS WORK. John 4:31-34
You must cut out certain things from your life if you are to finish your work. The reason why people do not finish their work is because they do many things that are not their job. There are things that only you can do. Get to the job and concentrate on it!
Never stop until you finish. Unfinished things cannot be used. A car that has only three wheels cannot be used. If you do many great things but do not finish your work, you are still a failure. Why create a beautiful car with only three tyres? Stop saying, “I just need to get one more tyre.” We cannot use your nice car that has only three tyres.
No one is saying that you have not worked hard. Unfinished work is simply unusable. This is why Jesus was so intent on finishing His work. If He had preached and healed the sick but had not gone to the cross, the world would still not be saved.
