Prove Your Own Work

Apostle Grace Lubega

Galatians 6:4 (AMP); But let every person carefully scrutinize and examine and test his own conduct and his own work. He can then have the personal satisfaction and joy of doing something commendable [in itself alone] without [resorting to] boastful comparison with his neighbor.

In this life of the gospel, it is important that you do not seek to “set sail by another man’s star” because when he changes direction, you will lose your light at sea.

That is why the scriptures require every Christian to prove his or her own work.

You are not “deep” because you attend a church where the depth of the scriptures are taught.

You are not free from demonic attack only because of the man of God to whom you submit.

Granted, there are things that spiritual covering protects you from. However, you ought to appreciate that victory in the things of the spirit is based primarily on truly understanding who you are in God.

The ultimate question that defines distinction in the things of the spirit is, “Jesus we know, Paul we know, but who are you?”(Acts 19:15).

You are who you are because of what you did with the message once you heard it.

Examine and scrutinise your own results in this gospel. Prove your work. If you never do so, you might wake up too late to realise that you were only lying to yourself.

On the other hand, our theme scripture reveals that if you do prove your work , you will have the personal satisfaction and joy of doing something commendable [in itself alone] without [resorting to] boastful comparison with your neighbour.
