“God is our motivator!”

From the Monthly Prayer Calendar

November 2nd: Pray for fruitful skill building for the Kerewe translation team and Ruthie Wagner as they train together in-person until mid-November.

Devotion by Rev. Malelo, Kerewe Translation Team

“Leviticus 24:1-9 and Agile Principle #5 “Build projects around motivated individuals. Give them the environment and support that they need, and trust them to get the job done.” God is our motivator! – God created Adam’s wife to be his motivator. God knew that Aaron and his family’s work was very tough so God used some of his food to motivate them so that they could do their work without trouble. God provided the oil and the flour for the tabernacle and the priests family. In the traditional method of Bible translation I did not come across a principle about motivation. Agile has helped speak to motivation for the work, inspiring us to do the work without trouble and disturbance. Motivation is not like a bribe. It is an incentive to inspire you to do a job or ministry willingly to give a good product. My brothers and sister, we need to be motivated! This job is tough, we need to be motivated. God provides the Holy Spirit, facilities, and so much to do this work in a conducive environment.”
