Labour in the Lord!

Labour in the Lord!

“Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord,because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain” (1 Corinthians 15:58).

There is a paradigm shift-

– going on among a remnant of workplace believers today.

That paradigm shift is-

– a focus on using our business and work life as a platform for ministry versus a platform solely for material success.

There is a remnant of workplace believers throughout the world today who understand their birthright in the workplace is to reflect Christ fully in and through their work.

It is reflected by a commitment to use their resources and skills to provide a product of excellence with the overall motive to affect people for Jesus Christ.

The difference is that these individuals have an overriding ministry objective to their work.

When the apostle Paul tells us to fully work unto the Lord-

– he does not mean we must be working as missionaries in “full-time Christian effort.”

He understands that all of life is holy and sacred to God.

If our motive is to serve God where we are-

– then our labour “in the Lord is not in vain.”

As you begin your work today-

Ask God if you are working with the primary motive of reflecting His life and character through your work on this day.

Let nothing move you from this motive being central to your activity.

The Lord will reflect His power and leading in and through your life-

– when this becomes your primary motive.
