VOICE OF CHRIST (DAILY SPIRITUAL LESSONS)



Date: TUESDAY JANUARY 8, 2019
Topic: WORK GENUINELY WITH YOUR HEART
Text: Read:  Colossians 3:22-25
Daily Bible Study:  Genesis 19-21; Psalm 8.

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as to the Lord and not unto men (Col. 3:23).

Right from the Garden of Eden, man has been working and was so designed by God to work and please God while carrying out his work. After man was driven out of the Garden of Eden, mans work multiplied; yet God still wants man to work genuinely with all his heart and to please Him in all things.

Similarly, man has from time to time needed service from his fellow man since he alone may not be able to meet up with all that has to be done. Joseph in Portiphars house understood that he had to please his master at all times and he did just that. When workers genuinely please their masters, God Himself is pleased. God expects a good working relationship between an employee and his/her colleagues and also with his/her employer. Even in secular jobs, God is still interested in how we discharge our duties. God has never liked eye-service or any form of hopeless demonstrative hard work. Some companies have folded up because of the attitude of their workers. Some homes have made losses and gone far away from the path of righteousness because of the activities of their domestic staff. Imagine the harm that could have been done if Joseph had given in to Portiphars wifes demand.

As believers, we should know that God wants to take the praise in our excellent services and even in our secular jobs. If we can genuinely satisfy our employers (or employees), God will be pleased and will give us greater responsibilities, not only in our secular jobs, but also in His household  the Church.

Prayer: LORD God in heaven, please help me to work worthy of Your praise, I pray in Jesus name  Amen.

For those of you who find my last sentence confusing, know that I wrote the sentence in Pidgin English. A unique form of English widy spoken in Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leonne and Gambia. Work activities have been intense all these while. Always stepping up to the plate. Been in the good with Ify. My vehicle has been getting along without an issue. The only snag is that I am kinda low with the cash. Just managing to scrap through. Got a 5k loan from Tate. Tate came into Lagos on the Thursday, 31st. I picked him up at Itamaga and brought him to my home. He left for Abuja this Saturday morning.

CANCER IS NOT DEADLY Dr. Muthami says,  No one must die of cancer except out of carelessness; (1). First step is to stop all sugar intake, without sugar in your body, cancer cell would die a natural death. (2). Second step is to blend a whole lemon fruit with a cup of hot water and drink it for about 1-3 months first thing before food and cancer would disappear, research by Maryland College of Medicine says, it's 1000 times better than chemotherapy. (3). Third step is to drink 3 spoonfuls of organic coconut oil, morning and night and cancer would disappear, you can choose any of the two therapies after avoiding sugar. Ignorance  is no excuse. Let everyone around you know, it's a sacrilege for anyone this day to die of cancer; God bless.
