Fruitful Labor

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:58‬ ‭AMP‬‬

“Therefore, my beloved brothers and sisters, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord [always doing your best and doing more than is needed], being continually aware that your labor [even to the point of exhaustion] in the Lord is not futile nor wasted [it is never without purpose].”

‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:58‬ ‭AMP‬‬

When anyone engages in any venture or any form of work with the end in mind, it is a lot easier to wade through any challenge that might come on the way.

I love the way Simon Sinek puts it in his book - “Start with Why”:

>>Working hard for something we do not care about is called stress, working hard for something we love is called passion.

And if I may add, knowing with whom we work and understanding that He’s a rewarder of all who seek him diligently - we will ever be steadfast, immovable and excel in our work with Him.

Do you feel your boss does not appreciate your tireless efforts? I think that might be where the problem lies, thinking and believing you're working for a person. Henceforth, do everything as unto God.

Your reward comes from God not from any man. When he’s ready to elevate you even the seemingly wicked boss will have no choice than to oblige.

My good people, always keep this top of mind: your labor in the Lord is neither futile nor wasted. Settle these in your mind:

know why you do what you do

Keep focus no matter what you’re faced with

even when it seems nobody appreciates you

always remember God owes no man

Your labor is fruitful and you will not miss your reward.

Let us pray:

Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for the opportunity to continue to work with you in your vineyard and in the area of our calling in the world. We pray you grant us the grace to always keep our focus on you and to do all as unto you and not as unto any man. We declare every of our labor is fruitful in Jesus' mighty name! Amen! Amen!! Amen!!!
