what's your value?

"A life without purpose, is a life without value"


It's easy to set a daily schedule especially if our work depends on a daily routine. When the clock strikes a certain time, a given task is set to be accomplished. But sometimes, we get caught up with the routine that we don't know why in the world are we investing our time in such a task. They said that it's easier to have the job done if you knew beforehand the reason behind it.

As a newly installed authority of a fairly new department, It's hard to get all of your staff on the same page. I thought that as a manager, you just manage their workloads and let them do magic. In some areas of our job in the multimedia department it does work but most of the time it doesn't. I learned the hard way to give them the bigger picture and from there draw out their part. Explain that without their part in this area of the project, it will simply fail. Emphasize their participation and purpose in the project and they will realize their value as a team player. Same is true in God's kingdom!

The moment we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we are automatically installed into the family of God as royal priests and ambassadors. We have been given the written revelation of the Father with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We are part of the ordained workforce who are mandated to GO and into all the world with the gospel of absolute truth! The field of unbelieving souls are ready to receive the Word of God yet the workers are few. In actuality, a lot of us are in the line-up of available workers but only a few are willing to work.

What's your value? What's your participation in the kingdom of God? If you're new to the Christian life then get some sound doctrine and be aligned in God's plan! If you've been a Christian as long as you can remember then go out into the field. I'm not saying force yourself to be a missionary in a foreign field...but in the routine of our jobs, in the decisions that we make, in the words that we say, we should reflect the intended purpose God has for us! The moment we understand God's specific plan for us and the purpose behind it, then will we find our value as a member of the royal family of God.
