Who Is Your Boss?

Who is your master; Jesus or money?

Many claimed to be working for God, the Father but every effort of their work demanded monetary payment of sorts. Who are you working for actually, Jesus or money?

Yet I have never used any of these rights. And I am not writing this to suggest that I want to start now. In fact, I would rather die than lose my right to boast about preaching without charge. Yet preaching the Good News is not something I can boast about. I am compelled by God to do it. How terrible for me if I didn't preach the Good News!

If I were doing this on my own initiative, I would deserve payment. But I have no choice, for God has given me this sacred trust. What then is my pay? It is the opportunity to preach the Good News for free or without charging anyone. That's why I never demand my rights when I preach the Good News. 1 Corinthians 9:15-18

Why would these servants of God takes umbrage when you raised these issues to them?

Let me inquire again, are you working for the Kingdom of God or money?

Jesus Christ did everything for free. Paul claimed he, too, did everything for free because it was a sacred trust from God, compelling him to do it.

No one can do the will of God, the Father without the equipment of the Holy Spirit. So, those who claimed to be doing everything for the Kingdom of God, are they doing it by and for themselves or by the power of God's Spirit?

If your ability to do God's will results from the gifting from the power of the Holy Spirit, then by demanding payment for it will directly mean that God, Himself is asking to be paid for His work to love us? Does that mean God, our Father no longer care and love us, His precious children redeemed by the precious blood of His begotten Son, our Saviour Jesus, for free?

Again I ask, are you a worker for money or a worker for the Kingdom of God?

Are you doing God's will by your own initiative or by the equipment from the Holy Spirit?

Did I heard you with clarity that you needed money to survive?

Are you saying that you can live apart from God, the Father and Jesus Christ our Saviour but not money?

Please be clear about who you are working for- the Kingdom of God or money?

Please don't tell me that without money it's impossible to do God's will.

What??? (screaming very loudly)

Are you saying that God who created heaven and earth and filled everything in it has lost his power and now require money to accomplish his plans?

But it says in 1 Timothy 5:18, that those who work deserves their pay and you must not muzzle the ox that work the fields.

Aha! So you are applying your rights to demand payment rather than boasting that you could do it for free?

Anyway, it is God, the Father and Jesus Himself that will judge and examine your heart for your true motives.

May God the Father and Jesus Christ our Saviour bless, protect and reward those who serve for the honor and glory of His Kingdom.
