"Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. 7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, 8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free. 9. And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him."-Eph. 6:5-9
How to be a Spiritual Worker?
-Know Your Boss (AKA God).= Vision
-Verse 5
-Answers our prayers. "Give us our daily bread" by workers.
-All Work is Heart Work.= Character
-Verse 6-7
-Do I love this job? to Do I Love Jesus?
-You need to ask these questions when you get to where you do not want to work there anymore. If you don't like working there, then it is not where Jesus wants you. He wants you to move on to some place else.
-Serve all (AKA admin., co-workers, helpers) with Dignity.= Humility
-Verse 9
-Your Work Matters to God.= Reward
-Verse 8
-Your work doesn't only matter to the people around you but also to God. In my job, I love it when parents say, "thanks" or encouraging words towards me. I know I am working for them and that they are loving it but then I think about God and I remember who gave me the talents and why. Then I think of it as it is no big deal.
