Excellent Service


Joseph while in the house of Pharaoh, did not consider himself a "slave", but offered the best of his abilities. Despite his inconveniences as a "slave boy",he offered the best of his services to his Master and conducted himself and all the works of his hands in an excellent manner.

Excellent service is not about serving God in our convenience. It is not about "Eye Service" - doing things because you want an immediate reward.
Joseph was doing every work in his Master's house with all his might, irrespective of the fact that he was NEVER going to get any rewards.

When we render selfless service to God, temptations will surely come our ways (sometimes) in the form of "immediate/instant rewards"

We have to be contempted / satisfied with the rewards that we would get from God. Never allow your travails, unanswered prayers to be a hindrance to your service to God, and hence being a blockage to receiving your reward(s) from God.


Always remember that whoever renders an Excellent Service to God , He goes an extra mile to BLESS him beyond his imagination.

So my question to you now is: -
  • Are you doing something for someone and expects an immediate reward from them?
  • Are you rendering help to anyone on behalf of God and wants the whole World to hear about it without even allowing God to first evaluate your efforts?
  • Are your giving an excellent service to God?
Its up to you to know if you really measure up as someone who is worthy of giving an Excellent Service to God, because God expects the best from you.



"2 The LORD was with Joseph, and he was a successful man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 3 And his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all he did to prosper in his hand. 4 So Joseph found favor in his sight, and served him. Then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority." (Genesis 39:2-4New King James Version)
