'But he that doeth wrong shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ'
(Colossians 3:25).
We are admonished to have allegiance to the true and living God, the Creator of the heavens and earth. For if you do what is wrong, you will be paid back for the wrong you have done. You cannot serve two masters, you'll love one and hate the other. Therefore, make Christ Jesus your Master today. As believers, when we seek to carry out good work in spirit and truth, God has promised to reward us, not because we deserve it, but by his grace He choose to give us. if it is through our own power we seek such reward, we shall suffer loss. In the verse Paul was speaking to those who were servants or perhaps slave and how they ought to conduct themselves. However, it speaks to each of us who is a child of God and find ourselves in service to another person. No matter the difficult situation we might encountered or find ourselves in, we must always choose a life that honours God. We see in 2 Kings 5, the story of the little maid, who was taken from her homeland and family as a slave, to wait on Naaman's wife. She lived a life which testified of and glorified God which led to her Master being cured of leprosy. So whether we live a life of service or servitude to another person, our life should exemplify Christ. Our attitude and behaviour should be the epitome of the God we serve. We must serve others and God with sincerity of heart and in fear of the Lord. Let us seek to live our lives as unto the Lord. He is the One who saves us by faith, that we may become heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. No matter our circumstances, let us through the power of the Holy Spirit be faithful to God, that we will receive the reward of the promise inheritance, because it is Christ the Lord we are serving.
Have a wonderful day
'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you' (Matthew 6:33). The Lord is our Provider and knows all that we are in need of before we even ask. We do not need to worry or fret ourselves about what we shall eat or drink. Our Father in heaven will take care of these things we need. We are told by Jesus, 'To seek first the kingdom of God.' What does that mean? It means we should lean on, and trust in the grace of Jesus Christ. We should repent of our sins and have a desire to turn away from it. We should seek to put God first in our praise to Him, in our worship of Him, to put our total trust in Him and to rely on Him rather than ourselves or others. We need to seek Him first in our reassurance and acknowledging who He is and what He can do. We also need to seek God's righteousness by loving our neighbors and feeding the poor and destitute, seek justice for the vulnerable. We should put God's plan and
