ENRICHMENTS FROM THE WORD:
Doing...goodwill service
GOODWILL TO YOU!
Goodwill is usually sprung up to most minds during the Christmas Season. When you often hear doing goodwill toward all men. However, the act of goodwill has no season at all. Goodwill is a living spirit that never ceases to disappear. Goodwill is an everlasting principle of the acts in good faith. Goodwill is much like love and love is eternal like God.
You should have the goodwill spirit always with you. Whether you are slave or free. No perhaps you are not living a life of slavery as far as having human masters, but you may be a slave that you service others in duties of charity and love. You may be a slave in displaying your employment duties, working on your very jobs. In this sense your employer is your master for the time you input hours working for his establishment or company. Although you receive pay, you work for him or her for a timely pay and you are subject to the rules and by-laws of their company. If you have a free enterprise where you are self-employed then you are free in the service to goodwill there too. You want to generate goodwill services and you desire that your customers are pleased with your generosity of having a good product, or service rendered to them. You somewhat are a slave to them because you require their business in order to making your living. Both examples can display goodwill in being a slave or in being free.
The Word teaches us we are to be obedient to rules of a facility in order that it is cooperative and operated smoothly. If you obey the rules then too, you are obeying a good will of heart. I often have situations come up at my workplace where people deliberately knowing they are not obeying the rules even though they are aware of them. When I remind them, I sometimes am not received with a good reception from them. They are rude and they do not display any consideration of rules to be followed. This however, is not how True believers should be conveying goodwill. True believers show follow rules in obedience unto the Lord. You may no longer be in slaves of cotton fields and whips. You may not feel that the bondage of slavery has ever left you, but you must have the Sword of Goodwill toward all men as God's servant.
Conveying goodwill whether you are a slave in a general term --or free in from bondage of men--is putting on the armor of God. God's armor being one of goodwill. The same goodwill that God will give unto you in doing acts of obedience. One must learn to obey. God's loves obedient followers whether they be slaves or free! Whether you be a slave or free you must have goodwill.
Enrichments continues..
Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh,
with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ:
not with eyeservice, as men pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ,
doing the will of God from the heart
with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord and not to men
knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same
from the Lord, whether he is
slave or free.
[Ephesians 6: 5-8]
