Attitude, Controlled.

“I want to talk to you about a word that is extremely important, a word that is critical... the one thing that can single-handedly determine the job that you have, the friends that you have, the place that you may land in life… is a word called attitude.” –Rev. Dimas Salaberrios

In Tuesday evening’s revival service Pastor Dimas shared with us about the importance of having an appropriate attitude towards God, and maintaining an appropriate attitude as we live out God's agenda.

Our speaker shared excerpts from the parable of the talents (found in Matthew 25:14-30-- click here to read the passage). He noted that if we believe God for “big and tremendous things”, do our part in working diligently, and avoid an attitude of laziness and finger-pointing, then God will honor our faith-filled acts.

Pastor Dimas also noted that our Lord increases our responsibilities as we demonstrate:

v  Faithfulness in obeying God;

v  Fearlessness in doing what God has called us to do;

v  Execution of God’s work without waiting for “the perfect conditions” to start doing what He has said;

v  Willingness to be countercultural, not attempting nor craving the acceptance of the world.

v  Openness to always seeking the will of God in every situation we face;

v  Rejection of evil alliances and attachments.

Pastor Dimas said that as we ask Jesus to show us His good ideas, and as we engage in His work with an attitude of enthusiasm, we will be positioned to labor faithfully for Kingdom business. We serve a God who is interested in us doing our best, and who longs for us to put forth our best efforts in order to accomplish His will in the world.

What do we believe about the LORD?

What do we believe about ourselves?

How do our beliefs influence our work ethic?
