Wow. Very interesting post i must say, who wouldnt love it.
I have a lot i have learnt from the scriptures and how much i am to emulate them.
Ofcourse Jesus Christ is my perfect example. I can never forget the Parables of the Talent and how it teaches me about work and success and hardworking in doing the bid of my Father in heaven.
First, this parable teaches me that success is a product of our work.
In the book of Genesis we see that God placed Adam in the garden to work it and take care of it. We were made to work. As Christians we have a mission that our Lord expects us to accomplish in the here and now.
Far too many evangelical Christians today see their salvation as simply a “bus ticket to heaven.” They believe it doesn’t matter what they do while they “wait for the bus.” The Parable of the Talents teaches us what we are supposed to do while we await the return of our King.
We are to work, using our talents to glorify God, serve the common good, and further God’s kingdom. Biblical success is working diligently in the here and now using all the talents God has given us to produce the return expected by the Master.
We are to invest in lives, because i believe God has invested so much in me and will need a return on that investment. So i wont take his work for granted.
God bless #lighttheworld, God bless all your work @gavvet.
