ARE YOU DYING TO INTRODUCE ME TO YOUR CO-WORKERS
Thats the only way you will do it. You will never properly introduce Me unless you die to your self. Your flesh will reject the very thought of bringing My name up in the work place. Your flesh desires the acceptance of people over the acceptance of the king. Flesh cannot introduce Me properly, because flesh hates Me. Flesh is embarrassed every time My name is mentioned in public. So many times I think you are going to introduce Me to those you work with, but for some reason you stop short of mentioning My name. "Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels." Mark 8:38 (KJV)
I died to meet them will you die to introduce Me. If you only knew how badly your co-workers are hurting you would willingly die. Some are drinking heavily, some are getting a divorce, some are loosing their kids, some are declaring bankruptcy, some are dying of cancer, some are at the point of suicide, but all are looking for a way out and you are the answer. You are the light of their world, you are the salt of their earth, unless you introduce Me they are all going down. "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your moral excellence and your praiseworthy, noble, and good deeds and recognize and honor and praise and glorify your Father Who is in heaven." Matthew 5:16 (AMP)
You are called to preach the gospel and I have placed you in a mission field, you are not in your work place for money, I could supply that in a hundred different ways, you are their to introduce Me. "Servants, (employees) obey in everything those who are your earthly masters (bosses), not only when their eyes are on you as pleasers of men, but in simplicity of purpose with all your heart because of your reverence for the Lord and as a sincere expression of your devotion to Him. [23] Whatever may be your task, work at it heartily (from the soul), as something done for the Lord and not for men, [24] Knowing with all certainty that it is from the Lord and not from men that you will receive the inheritance which is your real reward. The One Whom you are actually serving is the Lord Christ (the Messiah). [25] For he who deals wrongfully will reap the fruit of his folly and be punished for his wrongdoing. And with God there is no partiality no matter what a person''s position may be, whether he is the slave or the master." Colossians 3:22-25 (AMP)
You must look at your boss differently and see what effect you will have on him, "LET ALL who are under the yoke as bond servants(employees) esteem their own personal masters (bosses) worthy of honor and fullest respect, so that the name of God and the teaching about Him may not be brought into disrepute and blasphemed.
Every person that I have called to be an employee is "... to be submissive to their masters, to be pleasing and give satisfaction in every way. ... not to talk back or contradict, [10] Nor to steal by taking things of small value, but to prove themselves truly loyal and entirely reliable and faithful throughout, so that in everything they may be an ornament and do credit to the teaching which is from and about God our Savior. [11] For the grace of God (His unmerited favor and blessing) has come forward (appeared) for the deliverance from sin and the eternal salvation for all mankind. [12] It has trained us to reject and renounce all ungodliness (irreligion) and worldly (passionate) desires, to live discreet (temperate, self-controlled), upright, devout (spiritually whole) lives in this present world, Titus 2:9-12 (AMP)
Some of you I have made business owners and employers and bosses so you can, introduce Me to your employees. You are their shepherds, pastors and teachers, use your authority to introduce Me, not to take advantage of those under you. "MASTERS, (bosses) on your part deal with your slaves (employees) justly and fairly, knowing that also you have a Master in heaven. [2] Be earnest and unwearied and steadfast in your prayer life, being both alert and intent in your praying with thanksgiving. [5] Behave yourselves wisely living prudently and with discretion in your relations with those of the outside world (the non-Christians), making the very most of the time and seizing (buying up) the opportunity. [6] Let your speech at all times be gracious (pleasant and winsome), seasoned as it were with salt, so that you may never be at a loss to know how you ought to answer anyone who puts a question to you." Colossians 4:1-2,5-6 (AMP)
