Word of Hope for Today by Bro. Rolly
Custodio
Life’s Principles When You Are Working
‘…do it all
in the name of the Lord…’ Colossians 3:17 NIV
Today’s Insight
Observe Three Principles:
(1) You can have more, as long as you don’t want it all for yourself.
In a generation whose motto is ‘Look out for number one,’ we need to be
reminded that ‘Christ did not please himself’ (Romans 15:3 NIV). He didn’t live to enrich
Himself, but to enrich others. You won’t find a speck of selfishness in Him.
He’s worthy to be called ‘Master’, because He first mastered Himself by denying
Himself and living for others.
(2) You can get almost anything done, as long as you don’t care who
gets the credit. ‘Whatever
you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus.’
Pride brought Satan down and it will bring you down, too. Ivan O Miller quoted,
‘Humility is such a frail and delicate thing that he who dares to think that he
has it, proves by that single thought that he has it not.’ When you succeed and
the accolades start coming your way, enjoy them briefly. Then pass them on to
the true source of all your accomplishments – God.
(3) You can hasten the answer, as long as you don’t despise the
source. Naaman the
leper discovered that you can have what God offers, but on God’s terms, not
yours (2 Kings 5:1-14). And God’s terms are ‘faith’ and
‘obedience’. Faith is like electricity: you don’t have to analyse or understand
it to enjoy its benefits. All you have to do is plug in! What has God told you
to do? Obey Him! Stop wavering, stop procrastinating, stop arguing with Him and
do what He tells you. You’ll love the results.
Today’s Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for your Word today.
Lord thank you for teaching me how to work and making a living in the environment
of competition. Lord thank that we should focus on enriching others and always
humble in all my undertakings because I am not working for men for you oh Lord.
Lord thank you for the opportunity to work so that I can get my living to
sustain our family needs. All that we take Lord is belong to you and that we are
grateful for you because you provide everything we need the strength, ability
and attitudes toward my works. Allow and use me to bless others while I am
working for your glory In Jesus’ Name.
Amen!
Prayer for Salvation
Lord
I admit I am a sinner I repent of all my sins and I receive you into my heart
as my personal Lord and Savior Amen. If you mean that prayer above from the
bottom of your heart you are now saved. It is God’s Word promise in John 3:16
that if you trust His Son Jesus you will not die but you will have Eternal
Life. Welcome to the family of God. In order to grow in your faith with God please
do these consistently starting today; 1. Pray always 2. Read your Bible Daily
3. Attend Church Services Regularly 4. Attend Prayer Meeting, Bible Study, Church
Seminars and make God first place in your life with your talents and finances
5. Lastly, witness Jesus to others that they may receive Eternal Life also.
