God wants his children to be successful

On Thursday, I got lectured severely by my beloved boss. I admit, I was crushed. My mind reeled. How on earth could I, my boss's golden girl, get rebuked so strongly and so severely?

I remember I once asked my boss, what is it about me? What is it that I did that has brought me his favour? His reply was a bit perplexing. My boss said that there is just something special about me. It's not about looks, but my personality just shines like a sunbeam on a cloudy day. Infectious and exuberant and touches all that is around me.

Yet, I got rebuked and very severely. I thought hard that night and asked the Lord, gee, what happened? In my mind's eye, I felt the Lord give me peace. And it came to me, just like a parent rebuking a child when she does wrong, he does it so that the mistake that endangers the child does not reoccur. In the same way, my boss scolded me because if I had continued to slack off, he cannot do great things through me, and when pride gets in the way, God cannot work through my hands.

Just like Pastor Joseph Prince says in his book titled Umerited Favour, it is not what Joseph did that gave him favour in Pophitar's eyes, but the Lord's work that was done through Joseph's hands such that everything was blessed.

And I too realised that when I walk the closest with Jesus, it is then that my boss shows me the most favour. So actually, it was never really about me, but about God. It was not my shining personality, nor my God given physical beauty, nor any of my ability or what I have ever done. It was what God did through me when I was at my most humble and most God fearing.

So Jesus, work through me, make me your vessel such that all that is made and touched by me are blessed into unceasing fruitful abundance in your name. May all of the promotions, collaborations and all that I touch be blessed and successful such that all that is good be multiplied a hundred fold even as compared to the best of the previous years. Let our time here at Loyalty Marketing be the golden years because you are with us, Abba Father and Lord Jesus Christ. Cloak us with your robes of righteousness and cover us with your blood. All this I claim in the name of Jesus, amen.
