PURPOSE OF SERVICE
Acts 13:26-41
Devotional Verse:-"For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell asleep, was buried with his fathers, and saw corruption” (V. 36)
God, who made man, made him to serve Him to fulfilling His plan. God made and packaged man to be able to influence him to carry out His agenda on earth. Man is made to serve God to fulfill the plan of God and to fulfill his destiny and his part in the divine agenda.
The word of God told us of the example of David who serve God in his generation. This is what is expected of us. We are to serve God by serving our generation. There lies our reward both here and in eternity. Man is made to be influenced, inspired and move to action by the Spirit of God (Job 32:8; 2 Peter 1:21). The purpose of service is to let God use us to solve problems. Every great event witnessed on earth is by the move and the inspiration of the spirit. But man today is ignorantly submitting to the move of the spirit of the devil (Romans 1:28). That is why all kinds of terrible thing are heard in the world today.
Friend, you need to be conscious of your decision to serve the Lord and let Him alone use you for the good of the world. Many today have gone serving the devil in the name of money (1 Timothy 6:10). Yes, we all need money but not to make it in a wicked way. It will take the influence of an evil spirit for a man to have an idea to kill or destroy others to make money (John 10:10). In serving the Lord we will become a comfort and joy to each other. Peace!
PRAYER: Lord, make me a vessel of solution to my world
“SERVICE TO THE LORD WILL BRING THE WORLD TO COMFORT”
