There's something I've noticed about people in general. Most people, on some level, think they know better than everybody else. Everybody thinks they have been freed through their education and through their accumulated wealth. But you can never fool yourself. No matter who you are, you are somebody's slave. No matter how smart, eloquent ar educated you are, you are somebody's fool. You might be a slave to money or sin, as it is usually preached in the church. Or you might be a slave to politics, to the news, to your spouse, to your dismal or non-existent love life. You might be a slave to your job, to your imagination, to your sickness. You might even be a slave to yourself. But now, here's the thing. You choose who you can be a slave to. You have that power, and most people don't understand that.
If you don't lack understanding, then you will know that being a slave of the Almighty is the best decision you can make. Because God doesn't treat His slaves as most masters do. He makes them His partners, not just servants. He takes a vested interest in your life. He doesn't want to see you survive, He wants to see you reach for the stars, and indeed, go beyond the stars. He wants you to shine brighter than all of them. He wants you to rule with him. This is BEE on the highest level.
But this is where people flounder. They want to have a partnership with God, but they are not prepared to stick to the conditions of their contract. God made so many promises to us, but all those promises are conditional. Conditional on your zeal towards Him, on your obidience, on your faith. He is prepared, and is able, to make you exceed your wildest dreams. But He wants to be your partner. And you can't serve two masters, you will love the one and hate the other. But it is all your choice. The ball is in your court.
Now I leave you with this parting shot: I'm a fool for Jesus, whose fool are you?

Yebo Mzwandile you are a trustworthy lunatic, that's why we can't get enough of you. I agree with you, it's best to be God's slave. What throws me off the roof is how we serve so many different masters at our own will, get no return and when we are beaten up turn to him. And isn't he just awesome because the first thing that happens when you surrender and turn to serving him and you sign that contract, is that he heals you and actually you get this fat bundle of awesomeness and joy. Now, give me one master who would pay you for just signing a contract, before you do any work?But like you said we mostly violate the contract. What's great with this contract though is that once you sign it, it's evalasting. There are no hidden clauses or fine prints you never saw, everything is out in the open and in case there's something you don't understand it's all well referenced and explained in the bible.I've signed my contract.
