FROM THE BOSS TO GOD!

How many times have you screeched at the sound of his car or his appearance? How many times has your heart skipped just because he called your name? Note that it could be your Boss or anyone in position of authority over you... Its time to let go of that fear and lifestyle! The book of Proverbs twenty-nine and verse twenty-six reads... “ Many seek the rulers favour; but every Man’s judgement comes from the Lord” Our judgement is from the Lord and not from any Man or any Boss. So, we are not supposed to go about seeking the rulers favour or whoever is in authority. The favour comes directly from God and so, whether you’re accepted in the sight of the Boss or not, he likes your face or not, once the command comes from God’s throne that it’s time for you to be favoured, the Boss has no choice but to favour you by heeding to God’s command. So, what’s the action plan? It’s time to shift focus from the Man to God. (who can curse whom God has blessed or bless who God has cursed)? Do all that you know is good and is in your power to do regardless of how you are appreciated on the outside, enduring even the critisms that comes with your doing good, believing, waiting and looking up to God who is your true rewarder and source! It all originates from God! No wonder His word says that promotion comes neither from the east or the west but from the Lord. That a kings heart is in the hands of the Lord and he turns it where he wills. So, you must shift your focus from the Boss because the favour is coming directly from God and not from the Boss. He or she is just the channel. Have we ever wondered sometimes that our Boss does not notice us despite all that we do to please him such that frustration almost sets in? It shows that in as much as we look at the Boss as the one to favour us or where the promotion or favour is coming from, we cannot get anything. No wonder God says that a man will receive the reward of any good thing he does whether he is bond or free! Let’s read Ephesians 6: 5-8 ... 5: Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; 6: Not with eye service as Men pleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart; 7: With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to Men: 8: Knowing that whatsoever good thing any Man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.(SELAH ALL!) So, we must do all that is assigned to us or expected of us with the mindset that we are doing it as unto God and that our reward or acknowledgement will come from Him. With that, we won’t be weary or be as men pleasers or engaging in eye service. God will reward! He will not tarry! Wait for him because at the appointed time, your works will speak so dont be weary in well doing as God said in His word. God sees you even when no Man sees you. So many times, people complain of not being promoted at the work place not understanding that if you’re promoted on God’s calendar, nobody can stop your promotion on the earth. So also, those promoted on the earth by an act of flesh might be promoted as seen by Men as such but not approved by God! Such promotion ends up not bringing any form of lasting benefit because it was either not merited or gotten by lobbying. Can we remember at anytime where we probably swept the floor,cleared the table or files, did the dishes or just something and we actually stood by it or engineered some things to make it known that we actually did it? That way, we have recieved our stereotyped reward but God says that whatsoever good any man does in secret will be revealed in the open! Why not let’s be patient and wait for God’s reward which is far far better and lasting. I mean both earthly and heavenly rewards. God bless you real good as you shift your focus from the Boss to God.
