Colossians 3:17
And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
As a true representative of God Almighty, whatever thing you do or say in words and in deed must be done to glorify God in Christ Jesus. As a child of God you should know that you represents Jesus Christ His son on earth as such whatever you do must be in line with His words and commandments.
Apostle Paul according to his letters to Colossians taught them to dedicate every aspect of their lives and conducts to God. This shows that our lives matter so much to God . We should stop to assign category into our works perhaps labeling them as spirituals or unspiritual. For instance behaving angelic when we are in a praying house or churches to put pious face because we felt we are in the presence of God but the moment we are out of sight or in our own comfort zone we behave differently as though the OMNI PRESENCE of the LORD is just a mere \”PHRASE\” (As if He actually does not exist everywhere ).
Every appropriate work or activities carried out in His name irrespective of place or person is an activity done well and should be considered spiritual by so doing it will be a kind of checkmate in our mindset so that we place right all our doings as a good Ambassador in representing Him who called us so that everything we do in word and in deed will be with thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
At times, some believers may think that God is positioned only in churches or the place of worships therefore everything they do outside the church premises does not relate to God.
When we surrender our lives to Jesus Christ and confess Him as our Lordship, every part of us henceforth becomes His and old life style is not supposed to be seen in us, we are to abide by His grace to live a new life style. \”Therefore if anyone is in Christ the new creation has come, the old has gone, the new is here\” (2 Corinthians 5:17) NIV.
When we obey His words, it will help us to walk with the Lord. May the Spirit of God help Us to Always do things that will glorify His name in truth and honesty irrespective of place and time all in His name Amen.
Remain Blessed. Shalom!
