TODAY'S DEVOTION. PROSPERITY BY RIGHT ATTITUDE AT WORK!
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE. “Servants, respectfully obey your earthly masters but always with an eye to obeying the real master, Christ. Don’t just do what you have to do to get by, but work heartily, as Christ’s servants doing what God wants you to do. And work with a smile on your face, always keeping in mind that no matter who happens to be giving the orders, you’re really serving God. Good work will get you good pay from the Master, regardless of whether you are slave or free.” (Ephesians 6:5-8 MSG)
Your financial prosperity depends on your actions at work because anything you do while you are employed is rewarded by God. Today's devotion is dedicated to you if you grumble while you do your job, it’s for the man and woman who does just enough and doesn’t go the extra mile and it’s for the believer whose presence or absence in the work place is not felt.
Jacob served Laban for twenty years and Laban gave this testimony about him ‘’I have learned by experience that the Lord had blessed me for thy sake’’. Jacob had an innate presence because he was the seed of Abraham, but he also exhibited diligence and skill in his job.
Genesis 31:38-40; ‘’this twenty years have I been with thee, thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten. That which was torn of beasts I brought unto thee; I bore the loss of it; of my hands didst thou require it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night. Thus I was: in the day the drought consumed me and the frost by night; and my sleep departed mine eyes.’’
No wonder Laban asked him to please stay and ask for anything when he tendered his resignation.
In order to be blessed financially, you have to be diligent and skilled in what you do. Do you see a man diligent and skillful in his business? He will stand before kings and not before obscure men.
