Today’s Reading:
Ephesians 6:5–9 (EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)
“And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven.”
(Ephesians 6:9)
This week’s EFKS theme:
Stolen from God: Slavery
A Thought for Today
No earthly position places one person beyond accountability to God.
What This Means for Us Today
Paul speaks into a society where slavery was already part of everyday life.
He reminds those holding power that they too have a Master in heaven — and that God shows no favouritism.
Whenever we have authority over others, we remain accountable for how we use it.
Carry This With You
Power never places us above accountability.
A Simple Prayer
Lord, keep me humble wherever I have authority.
Help me treat every person with dignity and fairness.
Today’s Invitation
Think about where you hold influence over someone else.
Ask whether you are using it in a way that honours God.
