“Are You Looking for Work?”
GREETINGS FROM THE TEMPLE …
“Are You Looking for Work?”
When looking for work, a person just entering the work force, high school, college students or maybe even housewives wanting to contribute extra money to their household, will focus on salary and hours. Their objective is to make as much money as possible while using their available hours. However, when seeking employment in your field of expertise, your focus will shift to salary and benefits. “How much do they pay?” “What does the employee benefits package look like?” Sometimes the benefits package has greater value than the actual salary. Yes, been there – done that – retired with a great benefits package.
Our Pastor, Victor S. Brice has been teaching a series on: “The Believer’s Benefit Package”. Did you know that believers have a benefits package? Yes, our Salvation comes with benefits. It is up to each of us to bring all the benefits of Salvation into our lives. What does that look like?
“Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” – James 2:18b (ESV).
“Faith by my works?” Yes, your faith must be the driving force behind all you do. Sounds easy enough but it’s not so easy when Satan entices you daily. Therefore, you must keep your eyes, heart, mind, stayed on Jesus. Remember, God has promised to never leave nor forsake you. He’s got you! You have benefits!
Promises – Provisions – Principles (Doctrine) – Performance (Faith)
You must get to know God for yourself. Develop a personal relationship with Him. You can’t have faith in Him if you don’t know Him. Stay in the Word of God – stay in prayer – attend Worship Service – attend Bible Study – spread the Word – make disciples – be the work. As you walk in the Word and abide in the Word you will strengthen your relationship with Him. You will know His Promises – His Provisions – His Principles (Doctrine) – which will lead you to your Performance (faith) – to trust – believe – abide. This is your Benefits Package – this is your energy needed for ministry.
Again: “Are you looking for work?”
Response: “I am the work!”
