SCRIPTURE: 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. – Ecclesiastes 9:10.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: You exist as a representative of the Kingdom in character, conduct and action at the work place.
God is the God of wisdom; He is the ALL-WISE GOD (Jude 1:25). He created and deposited in us His nature of wisdom.
Therefore, there is a need to understand the different dimensions of God’s Wisdom in order to function maximally on earth.
One of the areas we need to learn God’s Wisdom is in your career and at your workplace.
Why do we need wisdom to be successful in the work place?
You exist as a representative of the Kingdom in character, conduct and action at the work place.
The Bible says that you are the light of the world (Matthew 5:14). Being the light of the world as a Christian implies that everybody is watching what you do. That is why anytime you misbehave by coming late to work, someone may say “He comes late to work, yet he calls himself a Christian”.
As a Christian, you represent the King of kings in character, conduct, action and output or performance at the workplace.
Therefore, your responsibility is to ensure that you are not a reproach or a burden to God in the eyes of your employer or contemporaries by your character, conduct and performance of duty.
Remember this: You exist as a representative of the Kingdom in character, conduct and action at the work place.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Make up your mind to represent God in your workplace by being the light of the world.
2. Shun every character that will question the personality of God.
PRAYER: O LORD, I pray for the grace to represent You rightly in my generation. Manifest Your character in me, LORD, in Jesus’ Name.
