There is a requirement to be blessed at a deeper spiritual level by God.
Christ requires it of each of His servants. He required it of Paul when
He struck him down on the Damascus Road. He required it of Joseph when
he was left in the pit and then sold into slavery. He required it of
Jacob when he left his homeland penniless and needy. He required it of
most every major leader that He used significantly - brokenness.
Brokenness cannot be achieved on your own. It is something God does
Himself. We cannot determine that we are going to be broken, but we can
refuse to become broken. When God begins this deeper work in our lives,
we can kick and scream and refuse the process. We can manipulate and
strive to stay on top, but this only delays His work.
Pride and mammon are ruling strongholds of the workplace. Brokenness is
considered a weak position in the workplace. However, God says until we
are broken we cannot be an aroma pleasing to the Lord. God wants you to
be an aroma in the workplace. In order for this to happen, you and I
must be a broken vessel in His hand. Pray that God would allow you to
become a pleasing aroma to Him no matter the cost.
