“Work Willingly At Whatever You Do, As Though You Were
Working For The Lord Rather Than For People.” (Col.3:23 NLT).
This Is The Great Work Ethic That The Lord Has Given To Us That Transforms Work Into Desirable And Enjoyable Service To The Lord, Contribution To Human Lives, And Ministry That Makes The Lord Known To The Whole World From Our Own Little Corner! Our ‘whatever you do’ becomes our Powerful Pulpit from Where The Gospel Rings Out Undeterred By Any Barrier Whatsoever. But How Few There Are In The Church, Even Among Leaders Who Know, Believe, and Practice This Ethic.
Today as you have been given another privilege of life and work – and work must be seen beyond paid employment, it is “Whatever You Do”- may I challenge you to consider a change of perspective about whatever you do? Seeing work as the privilege to make contribution; to use our skills, knowledge, and experience to add value; and to make a difference to your own small world, transforms work from duty and the drudgery that comes with it, to a joyful privilege to serve your Lord and Master Jesus Christ as you serve humanity. What is more, as you apply this Instruction, yes it is an Instruction; as you apply it, to willingly work as unto the Lord, you are lifted to a plane of functioning that is beyond the ordinary. Your obedience is rewarded with the full support of the Triune God; Divine power to accomplish, and Divine resources to Excel Above Every Imagination.
Make this your resolve today as you take on a new work week.
Have a blessed, God-centred and victorious week.
