Hi everyone. First off, sorry for the delay in updating my blog and secondly, thank you for all your messages in the last couple of days. I am grateful for all your encouragement. To those who tried reaching me, sorry i had my phone off as I wanted to spend some quiet time on my own. It was a time of refreshing and a time of repenting for me. In spite of all that has happen, I thank God for the opportunity to reveal things in my life that needed to be straightened out.

If there was one area I am really convicted, was the area of, "Who am I serving?" It is so easy to get up daily and do what I do and yet do not know who I am serving to. Even as a full-time worker, we sometime tend to forget who our REAL BOSS is. Too often people fall into the trap of serving man, placing leaders on pedestals, with intentions to please God. But the trap to become men pleasers, can lay buried and hidden in the motives of our hearts.

How do I detect this trap and search my motives to see if I’m pleasing man or God?

Colossians 3:23 And whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ.

I ask myself:

• What reward am I seeking? Is it an earthly or heavenly reward? Recognition or affirmation from people or am I willing to serve behind the curtains without attention?
• Do I want to be seen or noticed by men first, or by God?
• Can my service be called genuine worship to God?

Serving unto man disappoints. Serving the Lord brings Him pleasure and us eternal rewards. So I am going to refocus my eyes, heart and passion again unto the Lord. It is a very good reminder that i should always Lean On His Understanding when I do my job and when I do that, I find myself having the Grace to Sustain my going. So i will lift my head up to the havens for my help comes from the Lord!!!
