Slave- a person entirely under the domination of an influence or person. (Dictionary.com)

A good slave.
A slave that serves three masters.
Your ultimate master and “master of all masters” is God.
Your second master is your craft and the gifts/calling God has bestowed upon you.
Your third master is you, yourself.
Serving the Ultimate Master
Ignore your pride and learn to serve God. Submit yourself entirely to his domination and influence. Learn all you can about his word and his commandments. Read and re-read the stories within the Bible and apply the lessons learned to your life.
When was the last time you “took notes” or wrote down God’s word? When was the last time you studied God’s word? Allow God to become your teacher. Allow God to become your master.
Serving Your Craft
Everyone has a gift. Everyone has a calling or mission. We must take our gift, our calling, and mold it into our craft. We then must develop our craft and use it to make an impact on our city, our state, our world.
Are you a slave to your craft? Are you committed to your craft? Do you only work on your craft when “you feel like it?”
Please commit to your craft.
Please commit to becoming the best in your field.
Please commit to transitioning from a “slave to your craft” to a “master of your craft!”
As you master your craft, your impact will begin to swell.
As you master your craft, your impact will begin to intensify.

Serving Yourself
