Heavenly Tools

There are 2 tools in this series. Work Hard & Pay your bills!

Work Hard

We are God’s representatives in the earth. We are called to work. Our work should represent who we represent. Our God is not lazy. We should give our full gifts and talents at work. 

God has gifted us with our talents. When we use them, we use them to the glory of God. God will reward us. 

Joseph was wrongfully incarcerated for years. Yet, Joseph relentlessly gave his full gifts and talents while in jail. Joseph knew who was and who he represented. 

The quality of our effort at work should not depend on the quality of the people we work with or the quality of the organization. 

Your employer does not define you. 

You know who you are. 

You are a child of the Most High God. 

You are a child of the Creator of the universe. You are a child of the King

You are royalty. 

Jesus died for you. 

When you show up for work you change the atmosphere, do not allow the atmosphere to change you. 

Colossians 3:23 (NLT)

Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.

Ephesians 6:7-8 (NLT)

Work with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will reward each one of us for the good we do, whether we are slaves or free.

Romans 12:11 (NLT)

Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.

Pay your bills 

The only debt we should owe is love. We should work hard to stay out of debt. It is not God’s desire for us to live in bondage. Debt is bondage. We cannot fully operate in our calling when we are weighed down with debt. Debt keeps us obligated to something other than Jesus. It keeps us in a self-inflicted prison. 

Romans 13:7 (NLT)

Give to everyone what you owe them: Pay your taxes and government fees to those who collect them, and give respect and honor to those who are in authority.

Romans 13:8 (NLT)

Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. 

Work as if you are working for the Lord and God will reward you. When you are rewarded pay your bills!

Be blessed and know that Jesus loves 💞 you!
