DEVOTED WORKERS
READ: Hebrews 11:17-40
And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?
Luke 16:12
There are those who think they must never work for someone. They say, “Why should I work under someone? Why should I be under someone?” Sometimes it is better to be the leg of an elephant than the head of an ant. There are many times that working for someone is far better than working for yourself.
It takes a lot of skill to lead yourself! If you do not have the skill to lead yourself, guide yourself, invest in yourself and fight for yourself, you will not be good at working on your own. God humbles us by causing us to need other people. In the end you will discover that you cannot be perfect without the brethren. Give your unwavering support to help another man until you die.
God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
Hebrews 11:40
Paul had several people who worked for him. In his letters, you get to know his personal workers. People like Timotheus (1 Corinthians 4:17), Tychicus (Colossians 4:7) and Onesimus (Colossians 4:9) were mentioned as his personal workers and helpers. In each mention of them, he never forgot to say that they were faithful people. It is the one characteristic that you need in a personal worker. Be faithful unto death is to run well as a personal worker until you die. Be a good personal assistant until you die. Be constant and unwavering in your love, devotion and service until you die. Be very loyal until you lie down on the bed to die and disappear from this world. Make sure you never change until you go out of this world.
