  MADE TO SERVE GOD 1 Corinthians 3:5-17 Devotional:- “For we are both God's workers. And you are God's field. You are God's building. (V.9 NLT) God put you on earth to make contributions and make a difference with your life. Another purpose of your life is to serve the Lord wherever you are. You are created to add to the earth and not just to take from it. This purpose of your life is called ministry or service. It is very important that you live in this consciousness, you were created to serve God (Ephesians 2:10). Wherever you are either in the school or in the office, be sure you are serving God and fulfilling your purpose.  God saved you to serve Him. Your work, business or academic is also a work and a service to the Lord (Ephesians 6:5-7). God redeemed you to do His holy work everywhere in your life. It is service that gives value to your life (2 Timothy 1:9). Ministry is not only for pastors but for all members of the body of Christ. We are not to sit and wait for h...

SERVING HIS PURPOSE

SERVING HIS PURPOSE       

Mark 1:32-39
Devotional Verse:-“But He said to them, "Let us go into the next towns that I may preach there also, because for this purpose I have come forth."(V. 38)



    It is important we understand the motive and the focus for which God expect our services to be. God has a purpose He wants to fulfill on earth through our services. So many think they are serving God today, but outside the will of God. They keep committedly serving God in a wrong way. That is why we need to understand the purpose or the motive through which God is expecting us to serve Him. It is only in this purpose we can establish the will of God on earth.

   Jesus said, for this purpose I have come. These purposes are the reasons we are here. Firstly, we should serve the Lord in a way that brings glory to God (1 Corinthians 10:3). Secondly, that we should serve God making all that we do to make the family of God stronger. Thirdly; we should serve God with the character and attitude of Christ (Philippians 2:5). Fourthly; we should serve the Lord to be a blessing to others (Genesis 12:2). We should serve the Lord to make others know that they need to come to God (Matthew 28:18-20).

   You can't be serving God with these motive and not please God. Serving God, but not in those purposes or motives will not be acceptable to Him. We will be able to do all we are doing in these purposes if we first totally surrender to Him as our Lord (Romans 12:1). Peace!

PRAYER: Lord, help me to always serve according to your purpose

FOLLOWING CHRIST                   Luke 14:25-33 Devotional Verse:- "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple” (Vs. 26)      God has enthroned Jesus as King of kings and the Lord of lords (Revelation 17:14). Jesus earned this office by becoming the sacrificial Lamb of God for the salvation and redemption of man (Phil. 2:7-11). Therefore, every citizen of the kingdom of God must be followers and disciples of Jesus.

MASTER’S MINAS

MASTER’S MINAS Luke 19:11-27 Devotional:- “So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, 'Do business till I come” (V. 13) NKJV      The word of God instructs us to do business. The Bible did not advise us to do business but it commanded us. That is why it would be wrong for you and me to be without a business. That makes idleness a crime against self (1 Thessalonians 4:11). Business is whatever you are doing to earn income. God will not accommodate idleness with anyone because He invested heavily in us.

COURAGE

COURAGE Joshua 1:1-9 Devotional:- “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go” (V. 9) NKJV      A major reason why many people are weak is because their level of courage is so low, that it cannot sustain them through to success. So they easily give up when faced with challenges. There is need for us to understand that there is no action that will not attract a reaction. So the only answer is courage.
