gift of a loving thought into the heart of a friend,
that would be giving as the angels give. - George MacDonald
Today's Scripture:
In every work that he began in the service of the house of God, in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart. So he prospered.
2 Chronicles 31:21
You can be committed to many things. You may be committed to being successful, achieving goals, building a reputation, serving customers, producing quality products - the list is exhaustive. There is one area in particular that you must be committed to as well. You must be mindful of serving God. Working hard, generating profit, and demonstrating net growth are not enough.
Seeking to please God is what it takes to be prosperous.
The truth found in 2 Chronicles 31:21 is important because it establishes the precedent for prosperity-an advantage every leader desires to achieve. To become truly prosperous, you must seek God and serve others.
Your efforts must be excellent in serving God's purposes. You can achieve this even if your organization is not a ministry. Carefully honor God personally and professionally by serving others. You are his representative of grace and compassion to those around you.
If you seek to please God with all your heart, then you will prosper. You please God when you serve others on his behalf. Your people...family & friends profit personally when your group or organization prospers not only monetarily, but spiritually, socially, and educationally. Making a stellar effort can be as simple as writing a not of encouragement, sharing a meaningful Scripture, or lending a helping hand. The bottom line really is prosperity for others.
Selah people' and friends identify someone today in your circle, group or organization who has had a difficult week. Decide how you can make a difference and help them prosper spiritually or socially today. Then serve God by answering the call and doing what you can to encourage them.
"Joy will come after the sorrow and it will be led by your Stellar effort for Christ."
Your pastor,
Rev Patrick Muston
