The work of GOD I'm referring to is feeding the sheep with Good Bread or the Word of GOD. Don't forget that your work will be tested to accertain the quality or whether it's built on a solid foundation which JESUS CHRIST. If it's not, what will happen to it you will not like it. It will bring too much shame to you.
Make sure you are sent by GOD and you have received the Holy Spirit. I know alot of you are doing this because of your love for GOD, for saving of people, for a better/good Society/People etc... Well, GOD is a merciful GOD and knows all our intentions. JESUS still love Peter so much even though he denied HIM because he knew he loves HIM too but couldn't handle what happened to him when he denied JESUS. The Holy Spirit makes it easy for us and helps us handle things like that well.
Recieve the Spirit first and you will handle it well.
