Making Jesus Look Good, On The Job

â€˜You are the salt You are the light.' Matthew 5:13-14 NKJV

Do the people you work with know that you are a follower of Christ? What do they think of your attitude towards those in authority? How about the people who work under youâ€”are you critical or complimentary towards them? How is your timekeeping? Do you arrive to work on time and give 100%? Do you demonstrate a commitment to personal growth and excellence on the job? In other words, on the job, are you making Jesus look good?

When you begin to think seriously about it, the eternal destiny of some of the people you work with may be riding on your performance. Right now, they may not be too interested in what you have to say when it comes to the things of God. But all of that can change in an instant. When people face a crisis in life like death, divorce, sickness, or unemployment, they want someone with real answers. That's when they seek out the boys they threw into the fiery furnace and the lions' den, because nobody else around them has answers that work.

Jesus said: â€˜You are the earth's salt. But if the salt should become tasteless, what can make it salt again? It is completely useless and can only be thrown out and stamped under foot. You are the world's lightâ€”it is impossible to hide a town built on the top of a hill. Men do not light a lamp and put it under a bucket. They put it on a lamp-stand and it gives light for everybody Let your light shine like that in the sight of men. Let them see the good things you do and praise your Father in Heaven.' ( PHPS)

SoulFood: Isa 34-37, Luke 9:46-56, Ps 145:14-21, Pro 4:23-24

FASTING IS NECESSARY

To relate with the Holy Spirit, you must be holy. You must also exercise a living faith, pray and fast. Some people will tell you that because had finished the work of salvation, there is no need to fast. To them, fasting is completely needless and is some form of self-inflicted punishment. But they forget that...More

HOW PROPHETIC ARE YOUR NAMES?

The name you bear is very important because it serves as your identity and your future may be connected to it. The name a person bears is sometimes indicative of the experiences he or she will encounter in life. Take for instance Moses: this name means "drawn out of water"
