Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
(Colossians 3:23-24)
The order is Christ first, other second, ourselves last.
Focusing on serving the Lord can make a big difference in your ministry. For one thing, you will be motivated to do your work and not look for excuses. If you serve only to earn a salary or get recognition, you will never do your best as long as you think you're underpaid or unrecognized.
The only motivation that will take you through the storms and keeps on the job is, "I'm serving Jesus Christ." Paul called himself "the bondslave of Jesus Christ, and slaves didn't have the priviledge of saying no.
Have a blessed day,

Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
