For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.  — 1 Corinthians 3:9 NIV

 

Being co-labourers with God is an important aspect of our relationship with Him. As co-labourers, we work together with God, sharing the same task or project. Since a new creation is birthed each time one gives their life to Christ, this makes us co-creators with God, for we partner with Him in the process. This truth may be difficult for some to accept, but I will make it clear in today’s Call to Prayer.

In the first creation, we saw how God spoke the word, and all that we see in the natural came into being (Genesis 1:3-25). So, the word is God’s instrument for creation. For the new creation, the word that births the realities we now have in Christ and will experience in the world to come has its basis in the revelation of the person of Jesus Christ and what He did at the cross of Calvary, which is simply the Gospel (1 Corinthians 1:18-25). When the Gospel is spoken (preached), and faith rises in the hearts of the hearers to believe the Gospel, a new creation is formed as each gives their life to God (2 Corinthians 5:17). Therefore, the Gospel is God’s creative word for the new creation.

This word, the Gospel, has been entrusted to us. Just as God spoke in the beginning and things were formed, He is speaking through us when we preach the Gospel (Romans 10:14-17), making us co-labourers with Him in the creation of the new man — Co-Creators. This truth does not make us equal with Him but reveals our oneness with Him, for our voice becomes His, and our words His very word.

Though humans are the first in the new creation endeavour, we know from what is written in Scripture that the entire creation will come into the same liberty as we have (Romans 8:19-22). However, their liberation (birthing into the new) was accounted to us (the sons of God) when it was talked about in Scriptures, affirming the truth that we are co-creators with God.

For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope. Because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God

(Romans 8:19-21 NKJV).

When we preach the Gospel, God is speaking through us. And the word we speak brings life, just as it was in the beginning.

Prayer Points:

• Let’s thank God for His word today.
• Let’s ask Him to help us comprehend the new creation realities.
