MADE FOR SERVICE
Genesis 1:26-31
Devotional Verse: -“Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."”(V. 26)
The purpose of the creation of man is that man may serve God. At creation, God made known His intention for the creation of man. This intention is that man may serve Him (Genesis 1:26). God has put all things in man to be able of serve Him. This is because the vision of God at creation was to form a physical world. That is why He needs a creature with physical body to be His vessel of service on earth.
God said from the very beginning, before man was made that man is made to take charge of earth on His behalf. This scripture already spelt out the purpose of the creation of man. The word of God says; let them have dominion over all that I have made. That is why we are made steward to stand in for God. After the fall of man, the devil has access to the life of man and men became servants of the devil.
To serve God is to represent God wherever we are by the influence of the spirit of God on our lives. We are made to serve the interest of God and not that of the devil or ourselves. Today, many have become the servants of the devil and are serving his interest through multiple devices. To serve God is to allow the spirit of God to influence us in carrying out His assignment on earth (Ephesians 2:10). The time has come for you to identify your place in the service of God. Then God’s blessing for your life shall be released. Peace!
PRAYER: Lord, guide me to my place in your service
“MAN IS WIRED TO SERVE THE LORD”
