Remnant Fellowship Employee of the Month – January 2013 – Candace Anger

“Let your eyes look straight ahead, fix your gaze directly before you.  Make level paths for your feet and take only ways that are firm.  Do not swerve to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.”

Proverbs 4:25-27

 “If we know that we are to ‘fix our gaze’ and ‘not swerve to the right or the left,’ then we have a very clear directive! Spouses: fix your gaze on your spouse and on Christ and God. Children: fix your gaze on your parents and teachers and on Christ and God. Employees: fix your gaze on your employers and on Christ and God. Do all of us have no fear of rejection from God? Are you ready to stop being ashamed or embarrassed before God? Then FIX YOUR GAZE on Christ; follow His example of focusing only on advancing the Kingdom of God through living each moment for the Father with a pure heart and focused mind. You have your directive today…no swerving! Take only paths that are firm and keep your gaze fixed before you! – Words from Remnant Fellowship Church and Weigh Down Ministries founder Gwen Shamblin – “Fix Your Gaze Before You” – www.weighdownchronicles.com

A huge AMEN to those words!  It is a DELIGHT to have the opportunity to be one of GOD’S employees!  As Gwen has detailed throughout her materials over the years, living for GOD and His will can actually be a SIMPLE concept to wrap your mind around when you envision Him as a kind and gentle CEO…and the kind of Boss who truly has every “employee’s” best interests in mind.  Our job is to follow the CEO’s lead and requests…and to be loyally devoted to Him with a whole heart and mind, which will result in actions that glorify Him.  Given this clear description of what it means to be a good employee, we are excited to announce that our “employee of the month” for January of 2013 is Mrs. CANDACE ANGER!  Congratulations to her and the Anger family (her husband Tedd…and children Alexa and Daniel), and we praise GOD for her and for the ongoing dedication that she displays to this Ministry, Church, and ultimately, to GOD’S Kingdom.
