| Bible Reading: 2 Peter 1: 5-11, 2 Timothy 2: 15 Memory Verse: Wherefore, brethren, labor the more, that by good works you may make sure your calling and election. For doing these things, you shall not sin at any time. 2 Peter 1:10 (DRB) Automaker Henry Ford asked electrical genius Charles Steinmetz to build generators for his factory. One day, the generators ground to a halt and the repairer could not figure out the fault. So Ford called Steinmetz, who tinkered with the machines for a few hours and then switched it on. The generators whirred to life, but Ford got a bill of $10,000 from Steinmetz. Flabbergasted, the rather tightfisted car maker inquired why the bill was so high. Steinmetz replied, “For tinkering with the generators, $10. For knowing where to tinker, $9,990.” Ford paid the bill! Charles Steinmetz was extremely valuable. While there has been massive retrenchment in many industries due to the lockdown imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, many who have made themselves relevant in their establishment still retained their jobs, or at other times, they were told to manage more than one portfolios. We must understand the place of value. Strive to make yourself valuable. Carve a niche for yourself, and be good at what you do such that it will be quite difficult to find your replacement because of the exceptional value, attributes and deliveries you offer. Furthermore, put on a garment of good character. Nobody wants a “valuable rebel”. Late Billy Graham said it all, “When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; when health is lost, something is lost; when character is lost, all is lost.” EVANGELISM REMAINS GOD’S HEARTBEAT. GIVE, GROAN, AND GO.
