NEW THING

NEW  THING Isaiah 43:18-21  Devotional:- “For I'm going to do a brand-new thing. See, I have already begun! Don't you see it? I will make a road through the wilderness of the world for my people to go home, and create rivers for them in the desert!? (V.19) TLB      Sometimes we make the mistake of basing our faith not on the word of God but upon our experiences. Many of us do not know that faith will always be weak in us when we allow it to attend the school of experience. That is, we weigh it or compare it with what we’ve gone through in the past. Then it becomes doubt. I know you might have gone through all kinds of experiences in the past years. You have prayed, and nothing happened. You have waited only to see nothing. Yet you will need to believe God afresh for a new experience in this year.

SAVED TO SERVE GOD

SAVED TO SERVE GOD     

2 Timothy 1:8-18
Devotional Verse:-“who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began”(V. 9)



    The falling of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden made man to become servants of sin. A greater percentage of the population of man today is not serving the Lord. Man actually prefers the service of sin because it looks rewarding and brings satisfaction to the flesh. It seems to satisfy immediate desire of man, though with much destructive results and experiences (John 10:10). It is because of the falling of man into sin that makes man slaves to the devil (Romans 6:16). For this reason, God sent Jesus Christ to redeem man from the slavery of the devil (1 John 3:8).


    The word of God says Jesus saved us and calls us with His own calling not according to our works, but according to His own purpose. Man is not saved to live as he likes. This is because everyone on earth is influenced daily by one spirit or the other (Job 32:18). It is the spirit that influences you that you'll serve his interest. People today serve the god of money or god of material wealth. Though, they think they are servants of God. But the bible says, man cannot serve two masters (Matthew 6:24). 
    The reason Christ saves us is that we might stop serving the devil but to serve the living God (Exodus 10:7).
Men today serve the devil by their attitude, relationship, through words, by conduct, even in their mode of dressing. Friend, please know that you are created to serve God, you are not living for your interest. Living without serving God is the reason all things look upside down today. Jesus came to save you from serving the devil so that you will not lack eternal reward. You need to know that our eternal value is determined by who we serve in this world. You are saved to stop serving the interest of devil or self but God. Serve the Lord that you might be your best. Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, give me the understanding to serve you alone

“WHO YOU SERVE DETERMINES YOUR END”
