Key verse:
“Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ.”
—Colossians 3:23-24 NLT
Who or what motivates you when you set your mind to work, minister, give, etc?
Some of us are only motivated to put in our best efforts when we have an audience, or by how we place value on what we are doing.
There is Someone greater than any audience, greater than any earthly title or position who sees all that you do.
He sees your heart you use to work, give, minister, etc and He will reward you accordingly.
Do not devalue your position, your status or the work that GOD has given you to do in this life. Work at it with all joy, and know that what you sow in it is what you will reap.
Do not despise your humble beginnings for you will not remain there forever. Always give your best in everything that you do no matter how small or big it may be.
The LORD sees you doing His Purpose for your life and that’s all that matters. Keep it up because you are building up a very nice heavenly portfolio of generational wealth.
Shift your focus to Whom you truly work for (GOD), and your attitude will change about how you put forth your efforts.
A man gave a testimony. He was working in a company earning low because of his position.
His colleagues heaped upon him the tasks they were supposed to do instead. His boss also sent him to do the jobs he was supposed to accomplish.
While doing all these, he was learning more, gaining more knowledge and new ideas.
When the external supervisors came to the company, they had to show them around. They got to where this man was and asked his boss questions, but he couldn’t answer them.
The man asked for permission to reply, and he answered. He kept answering all the questions he was asked; then they decided to make him the boss because he knew better.
Remember, 1 Corinthians 15:58 assures us that our labour will surely not be in vain.
Quote: THE HIGHEST REWARD FOR A PERSON'S TOIL IS NOT WHAT THEY GET FOR IT. BUT WHAT THEY BECOME BY IT; AND ONE DAY, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM.
