SERVANT OBEY IN ALL THINGS YOUR
MASTER ACCORDING TO THE FLESH:
Believers should under strict observance
subject to their master especially the
unbelieving master, wherefore, believers
requires that servant of all sorts should
readily receive and cheerfully execute all the
command in things lawful and honest of
both sexs, whom GOD in his wise providence
hath given a just authority over them,
according to the flesh, they must be just
and diligent without selfish intentions or
hypocrisy and disguise
NOT WITH EYE-SERVICE
Seeking merely the personal comfort of
approval or sympathy, in a purely selfish and
insincere pleasing, only to be observed while
their master eye is upon them,
AS MEN-PLEASERS- The service which
works only when inspected, and does not
come from the unseen source of love and
goodwill, which is not to please GOD, who
searches the heart.
SINGLENESS OF HEART FEARING GOD
Simplicity; the desire to do right for the
sake, who sees and know all things, what
servants do when their master are absent
from them, a servant that fears GOD will
make conscience of discharging his service
faithfully, will not misspent his masters time,
nor steal his goods or waste his goods
Will be just and faithful , diligent, not idly
and lazy, cheerfully, not discontented at the
provision of GOD who put them in that
relation
WHATSOEVER YOU DO
Do it heartly, not by mere force and
necessity, grudgingly, and with murmurings,
but from the heart, and with good will,
having true, real, and heartly affection from
their very soul, for their master
DO IT WHOLEHEARTLY AS TO THE LORD
To regard all labor as service to rendering to
GOD, we must regard our work as an act of
service to GOD, work without complaining
or bitterness and treat our job cost of
discipleship who superintend all our service,
given the reward of inheritance, heavenly
glory incorruptible and undefiled, that fade
not away reserved in heaven ,to those who
do good and continued in well doing
and all activity ends at death, there is no
opportunity in the grave

given every person, the ability to perform
some kind of work, in our duty of calling, or
for the glory of GOD and the good of the
fellow humanity, this is always good advice

work strategically and efficiently, stay

task

mean that there is no activity necessary to
human life on earth is carried out the
grave(HELL) because we have only one life
and all activity ends at death, there is no
opportunity in the grave
