THEME: LABOR
Ephesians 4:28
”Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need.”
INSIGHT
-Apostle Paul condemns stealing in the society; probably basing his conversation from the commandment, “thou shall not steal”. Stealing can be in form of corruption, perverting justice by giving or taking bribes, depriving the poor justice in court, failing to pay workers, taking other people’s property, robbery with or without violence, fraud & forgery for self gain, cyber crime, failing to pay tithe or taxes, extortion, moving boundary walls or encroaching others fields etc. We know that the love of money is the root of all evil (1 Tim 6:10). We are therefore reminded to exercise integrity & toil with patience for the benefit of self & those who need us most, however big the temptation of stealing is.
PRAYER
Abba Father our King & Saviour; our lives belong to You, do what You wish in us. Thank You Lord for we have seen this new day in good health, direct us Lord in all our endeavors. Forgive us all our sins Father, those we have committed knowingly & unknowingly. Deliver us from all evil Father & fill us with Your love & patience, that we may labor with perseverance seeking to hurt no one. Give us Lord; the heart of generosity & train our hands to give. Guide our steps in all things that we may emerge victorious in all our undertaking. We pray this believing & trusting in Jesus mighty name. Amen
Blessed Thursday
