God does not reward time but rewards faithfulness.
There was a story shared by Jesus in the bible. Different people came to work. paraphrasing the scriptures, some worked 8am to 5pm, some joined the work at mid-day and some at 4pm.
Knowing God to be a great planner, I am sure those he employed in the morning have ability and potency to finish the job but by 12pm, it was clear, with their disposition to the work they will not finish. The employer smartly decided and engaged more people and at 4pm, it was obvious again that even those were not as committed as expected and with the two groups combined, the job will not be finished.
So at 4pm, an additional group were engaged and the job was finished.
What became shocking to all the employees was that, he paid everyone the same wages.
In God's reward system, he pays for faithfulness and not the no of hours put in.
There is a standard required when we want God to put His blessing on our Labour, whether we are self employed or employees.
God commanded mankind to work and for every instruction of God man obeys, God rewards.
The question is,will the work pass the Quality Test of God; will your 8am-5pm be equal to another's 12pm-5pm or 4pm-5pm. We know that if our work is shortchanging the organization, probably because of other private practices, it is tantamount to stealing. In the eyes of God, that person is a barao!, ole!, oyi!,voleur!,forubo!etc.
This is same for self employed business people that shortchange their clients for profiteering.
God has his plan to reward every worker supernaturally, but that will never happen when the pay received is a shortchange of the person paying for such service.
In this new year, and especially as we are going into a season of waiting on God, let's renew our commitment to serve God everywhere we shall render service from now on.
The physical pay is a child's play compared to the pay with the blessing of God. Just to put it literally, its like shortchanging yourself on God's 10M naira plan on every 100,000naira salary you cheated your boss or employer on The blessing of God meets every need. The rich can pay for his children to school abroad and the less privileged can be so blessed with Children with unbelievable IQ by God for his God followership, that such children will go abroad on scholarship or by God's other means; remember God can create from NOTHINGNESS.
This is very rampant in the civil service and it's unfortunate that they think no one will know. The two personalities that really need to know are God and the devil, the accuser of the brethren. Even if God wants to overlook the issue, the accuser will react violently that the certain individual is undeserving.
Repent and exploit God's forgiveness; it does not matter with God, even if you have just one more year to retirement, a truly repentant heart moves God.
As we work this year, let's be mindful more of God's reward system and become one of His Faithfuls if you are not yet. Start NOW!!!
Don't listen to that devil, God is largesse with forgiveness. Use your leverage.
Another story about God's largesse in forgiveness is about a prodigal son that went with a portion of his father's wealth, spent everything wastefully, repented, came back remorseful and he was taking back like the immediate past never existed.
My prayer is that, we all get into the largesse of God's supply this year, following His way of doing things. Hiworks
