1 Corinthians 10:31 Whether you eat or drink do all your work as unto God.
There is two camps prosperity gospel camp amd poverty gospel camp; however both are wrong it is you work and God will bless what o do.
God blesses the work we do. Jesus said, occupy until I come back; do not just sit and wait however you need to be working. Jesus spent more time working than doing ministry; He only spent three and half years doing ministry before that He was working.
The gift you do for yourself is occupation or work. There are many who waste their time not being occupied with work. Having an occupation and working are the same and they are different. If you enjoy what you do it is your occupation, if you do something to just get paid it is work.
Everyone has the gift of time and people need to use their time working. There are 24 hours in each day you can not get a minute back.
Lets work to build the kingdom of God.
