Uh so now ladies and gentlemen uh
0:04
welcome back to our video today. Uh
0:07
today we'll be discussing how you can
0:12
how do you love praise and glorify God
0:16
through your work through your talents.
0:19
Uh because in our previous videos we
0:23
saw how you know God,
0:27
how you love God. Now today uh we want
0:31
to know how do you serve God through the
0:34
talents he has given you. Yeah we
0:37
discussed how you identify your talents
0:41
and after you identify your talent. So
0:44
we will be telling you how do you serve
0:46
God?
0:49
You can serve God maybe where you are
0:53
employed maybe that's where your talent
0:55
is or in your own work. the if you are
0:59
self employed. Now for those who are
1:02
employed
1:05
um
1:07
your employer expects you to do
1:09
something
1:11
but now your number one employer now is
1:14
not your human employer is God because
1:18
it's God who has given you those inner
1:21
talents. You applied for a job at your
1:26
human employer so that you can work or
1:29
so so that you can execute your talents.
1:33
Now at your workplace
1:37
work as if you are working for God. Work
1:41
as if God is your employer.
1:44
Do not owe your allegiance to your
1:46
employer. Human employer owe your
1:50
allegiance to God. When your human
1:53
employer gives you uh instructions or
1:57
orders that are contrary to what God
2:00
expects you to do, refuse because your
2:04
number one allegiance is to God, not to
2:08
the human employer.
2:10
Point number one.
2:12
Point number two is that
2:16
uh work
2:19
with the commandment that Jesus gave us
2:22
of love the Lord your God with all your
2:25
heart, with all your soul, and with all
2:28
your mind, and love your neighbor as
2:31
yourself.
2:33
So work as though
2:37
your customers are your neighbors
2:41
and work as if God is your employer.
2:46
So at your workplace if you are employed
2:51
love the Lord your God who is your
2:52
employer
2:54
and love your customers as though they
2:57
your neighbors.
2:59
Then
3:01
uh number two,
3:03
okay before I go to number two, make
3:05
sure that when your customers or when
3:09
your clients leave your workplace or
3:12
your workstation, let them so many God
3:15
bless you,
3:17
they say when they will be leaving a
3:19
workstation,
3:22
be what God will benchmark you with,
3:27
be what God will use to reward you.
3:31
If there's no God bless you,
3:34
how should God bless you? If there are a
3:37
few, God bless you,
3:41
uh maybe God will bless you
3:44
very few times. If there are many of
3:46
them,
3:48
God will bless you abundantly.
3:51
Now if you are uh self-employed let's
3:54
say for example you are a farmer
3:59
serve God in your farm
4:04
with the work you do. Produce healthy
4:08
maze. Produce a maze that is good for
4:13
human consumption.
4:15
Do not produce something that is not fit
4:18
for human consumption. You put
4:22
so many pesticides,
4:25
bad fertilizer,
4:28
maybe bad variety of seeds so that you
4:30
can maximize on your profit.
4:33
When you do that, you will not be
4:34
working for God. You will be your
4:36
employer
4:38
in this instance who is God will not be
4:40
happy with you. He will not bless you.
4:42
He will not bless that harvest.
4:46
Whether you are a consultant somewhere
4:49
then you give wrong advice
4:52
advice that will harm the list of our
4:54
brothers and sisters God will not bless
4:57
you there. God expects you to give the
5:01
best advice to produce the best, if you
5:04
are a dairy farmer, the best milk, the
5:07
best beef, the best mutton, the best
5:11
pork.
5:13
Whatever you do, work as if you're
5:15
producing it
5:17
for consumption by God. And in this
5:21
instance, God said, "Whatsoever you do
5:25
to the list of my brothers, you do unto
5:29
me." So treat that
5:33
customer as the list of your brother.
5:36
And when you treat him well, you're
5:38
treating God well.
5:41
Don't say that guy there is not
5:44
knowledgeable. He's just weak. I can
5:46
exploit him. You'll be exploiting or
5:49
you'll be trying to exploit God. And you
5:52
know what? You can't cheat God. God will
5:54
punish you. God will not bless you. If
5:58
you are
6:00
a milk farmer
6:03
and your cow produces
6:06
less milk, but you want to maximize on
6:09
your profit, then you add water. Then
6:12
you add some mangerine or you add some
6:15
wheat flour. in the milk so that you can
6:18
increase the quantity
6:21
and you know very well whatever you've
6:24
made that concoction is not fit for
6:26
human consumption
6:28
and you take it to people.
6:30
It's as though or it's similar to what
6:36
Cain did when they were offering
6:39
sacrifice with with with Abel to God.
6:43
wrong sacrifice. You are taking a wrong
6:47
commodity to God
6:49
thinking that you are lying to God. God
6:52
will punish you.
6:55
You can't uh God has instructed you
6:58
treat that guy as if you're treating me,
7:02
but you throw caution to the wind and
7:05
say
7:07
he doesn't know me. He will not even
7:09
know me. He will he will not be able to
7:11
trace me. But you're doing it to God.
7:15
And when you become indignant and say
7:20
whatever happens, you don't care.
7:24
God will be there on your case. You will
7:27
not be blessed by God. So serve God the
7:32
best way possible. To whoever whether
7:36
they are in rugs or they in suits,
7:40
whether they are in the streets or in
7:42
the offices, treat them the same. The
7:45
way you will treat, you would like to be
7:48
treated by others and the way God
7:50
expects to be treated. The way God
7:53
expects to be served. So my guys
7:58
serve God in your workplaces well in
8:02
your own workplaces if you're
8:05
self-employed treat others well and when
8:08
you do that you'll be serving God the
8:11
way he needs to be served.
8:15
In the next video, I will be uh telling
8:20
you
8:23
the
8:25
teachings of Jesus Christ of how to
8:28
become rich because Jesus has told you
8:33
do not try to change the quantities of
8:37
your produce. But if your quantity is
8:40
small, how does Jesus expect you to
8:43
become rich with that small quantity
8:46
produce? In the next video, I'll be
8:49
telling you how you'll become rich with
8:52
that little produce that you have with
8:55
that little office down there if you are
8:58
employed. How you will rise from the
9:01
lowest to the highest office. how you
9:04
will move from having one cow to a full
9:08
ranch
9:10
in the next video. Stay tuned and God
9:13
bless you.
