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.

POLITICS (PLEASE POST YOUR OPINION) Donald Trump will tonight hand out his inaugural ‘fake news awards’ to the media outlets that have most angered him during his first year as President. The Commander in Chief announced the bizarre ceremony in a tweet late Tuesday, writing: ‘I will be announcing THE MOST DISHONEST & CORRUPT MEDIA AWARDS OF THE YEAR on Monday at 5:00 o’clock. ‘Subjects will cover Dishonesty & Bad Reporting in various categories from the Fake News Media. Stay tuned!’ President Trump has been most vociferous in attacking CNN for its supposed ‘fake news’, with the network widely expected to win the majority of gongs. The awards are likely to be ‘handed out’ in a series of scathing tweets from Mr Trump, and it is unclear whether he will present winners with any sort of booby prize. He popularized the term fake news during his White House run, using it to attack reports whose facts he disputes. But Trump’s critics claim it is an easy way of shouting down va...

FEBRUARY 01, 2019 Thank God its Friday! Tate joined me in my car as I drove to work. I dropped him off at 7up bus stop, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. He was heading for his company headquarters at Ajao Estate. I got to work early enough. Not very comfortable because I did not exactly carry out my duties properly yesterday. I eventually defended my activities in the meeting presided by the MD. I left with Dare in our separate cars for Iyare Transport Company to Waybill Oxide pigments heading for Benin to Golden Julirose. Joined the the brethren who visited the Old People's Home at the location. We sang and prayed with the old people and rounded up at 6pm. I left with Tobi to pick up Tate at Itamaga and drop off Tobi at her residence in Itamaga. Drove home with Tate. Hung about at B-Lounge with Tate later in the night. Took 2 bottles of beer and a plate of pepper soup each. Bought a plate of pepper soup as 'take away' for Ify.
