Useful Hands
John 12:26
"If anyone serves Me, let him follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.
When we talk of serving the Lord, the first thing that comes to mind is a role or duty in church. The choir, the church cleaner, the church pastor etc.
Truely one begins service at home. There is no way you forget home, no matter how much work you do outside you still have to return home to your family and be of use. So every believer must have his or her role in church. Being a part of that family.
So our home is "the church" we are sent out to the world to work and profit, "that there might be food in my house"
Malachi 3:10
Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in My house, and prove Me now in this," says the LORD of hosts, "If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.
This was the essence of tithes and offerings in the first place although many a clergy and laity have gotten it wrong and turned it into a money making machine, a curse or a ponzi scheme.
So, the believer is not just a church worker but a circular worker, gainfully employed or in business to profit. Wherever He or She is, the Lord should be assured that light is represented in that place.
Can God be assured that He is well represented in that place where we are?
If God needs to send a message or reach out to someone, are we a ready tool He can use?
2Timothy 2:21
Therefore if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified and useful for the Master, prepared for every good work.
Let us remember that the power of the enemy is the power of deceit. That we may not know what we are, and what relevance we are to God in this world.
Ecclesiastes 9:10
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do [it] with thy might; for [there is] no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Colossians 3:23
And whatsoever ye do, do [it] heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men
Let us not be carried away, being a believer in the work place dosen't make us noise makers or a nuisance to others, no, but we become a succor a sweet smelling savour, a solution. Joseph gives us a perfect example of this.
Genesis 39:3
And his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all he did to prosper in his hand.
May our light shine wherever we are, may we carry a good testimony and may we not disappoint God.
Do have a lovely week.
God bless you.
Love.
