Everything you do, do it unto the Lord!

 Colossians 3:23 (NLT)

Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.

This, is the game changer! It will take you from complaining, moaning and groaning to putting in efforts in everything you do! Knowing that whatever you do, you are doing it unto the Lord, gives you the boast when you know you are underpaid, overlooked, unappreciated and not valued. Surprisingly, you'll find yourself doing the opposite of what people would expect. Doing your work diligently even when no one is watching! This is how we should see our work. The reason is that God placed us here on earth to take care of it. He gave us everything, even dominion over animals (as recorded in the book of Genesis); hence, it doesn't matter what career you are in, from top position in the company to the lowest ranked position, the fact is that collectively, we are working to honour Him. Our collective efforts is evident that God lives and He created the earth and everything in it. You matter!

Remember God checks our hearts and motives, if we do things as if we are forced, lazily and complaining, that doesn't please Him. Promotion comes from the Lord, not humans, God is the one who orchestrates everything behind the scene, based on the efforts He sees you putting in, even when no one is watching. He said if He can trust you with little, then He certainly can trust you with more. So, do yourself a favour and change your mentality. You are not working for anyone else but the Lord. He sees you and He is the Rewarder, you can count on it! And when God says "Yes", no man, no hater, no evil can blog your elevation! 

Embrace the position you are in, whether you are there for a while or God is grooming you, embrace it and grow through it. Your efforts will one day pay off...You'll walk on water...

Our King is alive, He sees and hears you...

 1 Peter 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. The recollection about Jesus, is one of the most powerful  story ever. His life story has impacted humanity so much, we just find ourselves in awe and feeling privileged . Jesus died for us, sinners, in order to bring us safely home, to our Father, how amazing is that! He was born to die for us, in order for us not to perish , but to live an eternal life, in communion with our Father (John 3:16). What is wonderful also, is that in as much they crucified Him and He died, He subsequently rose after three days. This means, our King is alive! We serve a King that is alive and infact through  the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! This gives  us boldness that we are not going through life on our own, but we have the Most High living in us and being there with us even in turbul...

We have peace bacause of what Christ has done for us...

 Romans 5:1 Therefore, since we have been made right in God’s sight by faith, we have peace with God because of what Jesus Christ our Lord has done for us. Peace is everything to me, when there's something not right in my spirit, I become uncomfortable, unsettled and unhappy. Which is why it is so pleasing to hear that we have been made right with God by faith, by an act of Jesus obeying and seeing it through for Him to be crucified like that, has made us righteous with God and He is pleased with us. This verse tells us that we have peace with God, what a relief this is! No longer do we have to worry about the mistakes we made and the shame they brought us, but because Jesus' blood cleansed us completely, we can have peace in our hearts and just enjoy our relationship with our Father. Isaiah 44:22 says " I have swept away your sins like a cloud. I have scattered your offenses like the morning mist. Oh, return to me, for I have paid the price to set you free.” Isn't thi...

Don't conform to the world standards...

Image
 Romans 12:2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect. As the body of Christ, we are meant not to conform to the standards, norms and behaviours of this world, which could lead us straight to the path of unrighteousness. But we are meant to follow the example set by Christ, as our great Shepherd. By so doing, we are meant to lead others to Christ by our behaviours and the way we live life. Jesus as our example, has set for us the standard of living, which  is totally different from the world. For example, the world says be selfish and look out for yourself and don't share with others to preserve your resources. But Christ's way is the very opposite, one of being selfless, being considerate of others and being generous.  This bible verse tells us that when we allow the Lord to transform us, in the way we...
