Paul exhorts the people to regard their masters as worthy of all honour even if they were unbelievers. Those who serve believing masters, were encouraged to do much more because, those who benefit from their labours were believers, even though they now stand on equal footing as brethren.
In this generation, however we do not have people who serve as slaves anymore. But we have Christians who work for others. They may be employed to work in the homes of others or in their ventures. It is necessary for us as Christians to serve with utmost loyalty and honesty, so that the name of God which we bear may not be reviled.
In our time, going to work late and closing before time, using working hours for personal businesses, misusing the organization's resources and all manner of corrupt practices, are common features in the work place. How can we be salt and light when we are seen to be involved in things like these? It is time we reconsidered our ways and changed. If we are called to serve, we must do it well, as unto the Lord.
Thanks for tour contribution to SteemChurch.

Thank you brother @hboi
Our communion with Christ is dynamic. Communion increases and decreases. If you are walking in habitual sin, your relationship with God may feel dry. If you are walking in regular obedience, your relationship with God may feel full. If you seek to please God — to find your joy in what he delights in — then your communion with God will be rich. If you seek to please yourself at the expense of God’s pleasure, then your communion will be dull.

We really need to please God with our actions in any thing we do. Our actions can bring glory to God. Let us think about this before we engage in anything.

Jesus ate bread with Nicodemus who was a dubious task collector and a sinner, we as Christians must follow suit, even if we're not conformed by the world, yet we live in the world
and that is why we must please God, by working hard with our fellow men in labour, being faithfu and transparent in our dealings, because we are God's representatives on earthz therefore we must be good examples.

Great post. He only way we can please the lord is to do his will. Like preaching the word of God, and praying dor others.

Pleasing God directly relates to our pursuit of holiness. When we say no to sin, and yes to righteousness, we do so as two-year-olds bringing their Father pleasure. God is not apathetic to our obedience; he has committed his own joy to it . When sin sings its siren song, we can listen to another voice saying to us, “Well done; enter into the joy of your Master” (Matthew 25:21 ), and that inspires the motivation that we need to pursue holiness. Knowing that our obedience has the ability to bring happiness to the God of the galaxies is incredible motivation. And knowing that our disobedience can bring God grief and sorrow keeps us from treating sin lightly.

There are many key terms and concepts in Scripture like faith, hope, love, joy, grace, peace, pleasing the Lord, etc. that we come across as we read our Bibles, but often these are just vague concepts for many people. The following study is designed to provide a condensed biblical focus on what it means to please the Lord as it is found in the Word of God. As time allows we will provide other such condensed studies on key terms, especially of the New Testament.
Pleasing the Lord should be the great ambition of every believers’ heart.

I tried my hardest to live out what I believed. I had a quiet time every morning. I prayed often. I memorized Scripture. I never missed Sunday school or church. But it never seemed like I was doing enough, and I kicked myself for it.
What would it take to please God? What else did I need to do?
Knowing that God needs our heart and not just works is what gives us inner peace and the joy of salvation.

we have to seek after heavenliness. Realizing that our acquiescence can convey bliss to the God of the cosmic systems is mind blowing inspiration. What's more, realizing that our insubordination can bring God anguish and distress shields us from treating sin gently
