GOOD WORK ETHICS GLORIFIES GOD.

 GOOD WORK ETHICS GLORIFIES GOD.

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi

Psalms 1:3 " And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper."

   Good work ethics play a significant role in the teachings of the Bible, emphasizing principles such as diligence, integrity, and stewardship. Throughout its pages, the Bible provides guidance on how individuals should approach their work with excellence and righteousness.

One fundamental aspect of good work ethics is diligence, which is highlighted in Proverbs 10:4: "Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth." This verse underscores the importance of hard work and persistence in achieving success. It teaches that laziness leads to poverty, while diligence leads to prosperity.

Integrity is another crucial aspect of good work ethics. Proverbs 11:3 states, "The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity." This verse emphasizes the importance of honesty and sincerity in all our dealings. It teaches that those who conduct themselves with integrity are guided and upheld, while those who are deceitful will face destruction.

Moreover, the Bible encourages believers to view their work as a form of service to God. Colossians 3:23-24 says, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." This passage teaches that our work should be done with excellence and dedication, not merely to please our earthly employers but to honor and glorify God.

Furthermore, the Bible teaches the principle of stewardship, emphasizing the responsible management of resources and opportunities entrusted to us. In the parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30), Jesus illustrates the importance of faithfully utilizing our talents and abilities for the kingdom of God. Those who are faithful with what they have been given are rewarded, while those who squander their opportunities face consequences.

 The Bible places great importance on good work ethics, teaching principles such as diligence, integrity, and stewardship. By embodying these values in our work, we honor God, serve others, and contribute positively to society. As believers, we are called to work with excellence and integrity, recognizing that our ultimate reward comes from serving the Lord faithfully in all that we do.

Prayer: Heavenly Father forgive me of my since I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power for excellence.
