7 Attributes of Great Employees

In Titus 2:9-10 we read Apostle Paul's idea of a great employee:

"Exhort bondservants to be obedient to their own masters, to be well pleasing in all things, not answering back, not pilfering, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things."

From these verses we can identify 7 attributes of great employees. Today, number one:

1. Great employees understand servanthood and subjection
"Exhort bondservants to be obedient to their own masters..."

Servanthood and subjection don't sound very enticing to the average worker. In fact, many employees believe that the way to enjoy work is to gravitate toward the opposite. However great employees understand that the quickest way to promotion and stewardship is to serve within their organisation, subjecting themselves to the vision and plan of their 'master'.

This is the example of Christ has left us. God the Father had the plan; God the Son had the task. Philippians 2:7 says of Jesus that He, 'made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant...'; that was Jesus' choice. Philippians 2:9 continues, 'Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name...'; that was God the Father's choice.

Because of Jesus' choice to serve and subject Himself, God made the choice to exalt and esteem Him, thus providing us a pattern for the master/servant relationship; should we deviate from this pattern?
