WORK IS MEANT TO BE A BLESSING AND NOT A CURSE (Saturday, 14th November 2026)
Text for Today: 1 Cor. 10:25-31: “Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.”(vs. 31).
Whoever runs away from work, will one day find himself running towards poverty and shame. Right from the foundation of the earth, God has established the principle of work, as part of human life. no wonder, after He created Adam, He told him categorically to work, by looking after the Garden of Eden. An adage says, whoever has no work he is doing but wants to get rich is a thief. Work is meant to be a blessing and not a curse. Some people are doing work that they are not pleased with. Some people are full of complaint when they go to work from morning till evening. Whenever you see what you do as a burden that is what it will be for you.
Our text for today says, whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. This relates to both secular and spiritual. When you do what you do as if you are doing it for the Lord, then you will experience the joy of serving the Lord and others because you know that when you work for the Lord He will reward you handsomely. The year is gradually winding up, set time aside to assess your journey thus far in 2026, both secularly and in His kingdom. Beloved, it is not the salary you get that determines your joy over a work but your attitude towards it. I see people who earn as much as one, two million naira or even more a month as salary, or profits from their business, yet they are not happy with it. If you don’t make yourself happy, you may die of heart attack one day. I charge you to enjoy where you are on your way to your next level. Be wise!
You are a champion!
Further Study: Eccles. 9:1-12.
