A story was told of a young man who was a cleaner in an office. He came to the office before everyone else in the morning, and left after everyone had closed and gone for the day.

He never said, “I am not meant for this kind of work. I am just marking time here waiting for a better job,” but rather gave it everything that he had got; he gave his best to the job. He cleaned every office, and did every work that was assigned to him without complaining.

Then on a certain day, the Managing Director of the company called him and pointed an office to him with the instruction: “Clean that office for the General Manager. That is the office of the General Manager.”

When he was done cleaning the office, the Managing Director told him, “That is your office, and you are now the new General Manager of this company.”

Beloved, can you see the benefit of selfless and diligent service?

In another instance, a man, who lived abroad sent money to one of his contacts in Nigeria. He told the person, “Build for a house for me in my village, a house that I will live in.” He gave him the description of the kind of house he wanted.

Then the man went and built the house with all the energy he possessed. He built it and tastefully furnished it. He put every high-quality material he could gather. By the time he was done building the house, the owner returned and looked at everything he did, behold, it was of excellent quality.

When the man who built the house handed the house keys over to the owner (the man who lived abroad), he declined and said, “Take the keys. It is your house. I just wanted to prove you. I actually wanted to build a house for you. I wanted you to be the one to execute the project to see what you would do for yourself while thinking you were doing it for another person.”

You see, if the man thought he was doing it for someone else and put shabby roofing sheets and rotten wood on the roof, he would have cheated himself.”

Beloved, this is how life should be. You can get anything in life if you decide to be selfless and hard working. Doing what is good habitually and consistently is a pathway to the blessing.
