1Kings 18:17
“And it came to pass, when Ahab saw Elijah, that Ahab said unto him, Art thou he that troubleth Israel?” (1Ki 18:17)

                God was the One who sent Elijah to see King Ahab to rebuke him and call the people of Israel to revival and reformation. The one who is called needs to be faithful to the call whatever the cost, even to the cost of our corporate relations on the workplace.  The implication is that we may sometimes be accused of bringing trouble when in fact the trouble comes from the unbelievers. We need to be careful though not to bring persecution on ourselves. What I mean is that we should follow God’s leading and not be impulsive and denouncing people’s sins just for the sake of it. But it is true that our corporate spirituality can be sometimes difficult if we are confronted to some people who want to force us to follow wrong paths.

                The impact for my life is to desire to get a stronger communion with Christ and to know His will for my life more closely. My prayer is that, in our corporate relations on the workplace, we will find the balance in not being influenced by the world in our mission, not being afraid to bring the straight testimony and in the same time be careful to be led by God and not by our impulses.
