UNDERSTANDING GOD’S WISDOM FOR THE WORKPLACE



SCRIPTURE": Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle,"and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5":14-16.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You exist as a representative of the Kingdom of God in character,"conduct and action at the workplace.

Today is International Workers’ Day! On a day like this, it is necessary to learn the wisdom behind success at the workplace.

Now, it is important to know that, as a Christian, you exist as a representative of the Kingdom of God in character, conduct and action at the workplace; you exist as a light-bearer and a road-pointer for the ungodly at the place of work. This is why it is very critical to understand God’s wisdom for the workplace in order to show unbelievers the way to quality, excellent and exemplary service.

Now, what is God’s wisdom at the workplace?
1. Be an asset, not a concern
At your workplace, make up your mind to be a blessing and not a burden; refuse to be a welfare employee. To be an asset means, being a difference-maker and a change agent. As an employee, let your arrival signal change.

2. Be Faithful, Reliable, Dependable and Trustworthy
Just as Potiphar left everything in Joseph's hand and nothing missed (Genesis 39":1-5),"let the heart of your boss rest because you are in charge. Let everything under your custody be safe. Let there be no story where money is involved. If you cannot be trusted, you cannot be entrusted.

3. Be a Solution-Provider, Not a Money-Monger
Do not be a money-hungry employee, be a problem-solver. Identify the problems around you and solve them. Never let your boss notice any challenge before you especially in your unit; you render yourself ineffective and inefficient in that place if that becomes the situation.

Beloved, my counsel is, decide to be a change agent at your place of work. Do more than you are paid to do and after a short while, you will have a change of level in income.

Remember this": You exist as a representative of the Kingdom of God in character,"conduct and action at the work place.

ASSIGNMENTS":
1. Identify the problems in your workplace and provide solutions.
2. Go the extra mile; do more than is expected of you at your place of work.

PRAYER: O Lord,"give me the grace to be a solution provider at my place of work. I receive Your Help to go the extra mile Lord, in Jesus’ Name.

QUOTE: There are people who got sacked from work prematurely…they armed their enemies with under-performance and floppy work attitude.

Morning Message of Motivation

The Blessings of Israel: The first two patriarchs Abraham and Isaac had blessed the next leaders of the family. Abraham had blessed Isaac and Isaac had blessed Jacob. They had also separated the blessed leader from his other siblings. Genesis 25:5-6a NKJV “And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son,” Abraham separated his other sons from Isaac, to ensure that the ensuing family would be purely from Isaac. Sarah had earlier insisted on the departure of Ishmael and Hagar his mother. Genesis 21:9-10 NKJV “And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, scoffing. Therefore she said to Abraham, “Cast out this bondwoman and her son;” Abraham was very sad about this but God sided with Sarah. Genesis 21:12 NIV “But God said to him, “Do not be so distressed about the boy and your slave woman. Listen to whatever Sarah tells you, because it is

wisdom of Martin Luther

"Unless I am convinced by the testimony of the Scriptures or by clear reason (for I do not trust either in the pope or in councils alone, since it is well known that they have often erred and contradicted themselves), I am bound by the Scriptures I have quoted and my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and will not recant anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. May God help me. Amen" Martin Luther, at the Diet of Worms, 1521. It has been 500 years since the birth of Protestantism by Martin Luther in 1517. His 95 thesis against the buying of indulgences, proclaiming salvation by faith alone (Roman 1:17), destroyed the tyrannical hold of the Papacy on the Christian world, and ushered in an age of spiritual renaissance. This publication in October 1517 marked the birth of the reformation and Protestantism and we should continue to protest against any unscriptural doctrine in the Christian church, that is what Luther stood for.

Choosing to Praise The Lord

Joshua‬ ‭24:15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ “ And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD .”” ‭‭ The world hassles us every day; I don’t have to tell you that. Our fears, anxieties, and hurts are very real. But if we focus only on these earthly problems, then very soon the spiritual realm becomes foggy and unreal. We lose sight of God and slide into pessimism and even depression. Life loses its joy and excitement. If we limit our thinking to this world alone, it will grind us down into the dust from which we were created. No matter how difficult or unjust our circumstances become, we can exercise our free will and choose to praise God rather than ignore Him. Praise has a strong emotional dimension—as we see in the Psalms—but it is not driven by emotions. Praise
