TOPIC: NO GAIN IN SERVICE RENDERED WITH WRONG ATTITUDE
TEXT: Malachi 1:6-8
KEY VERSE: Deuteronomy 15:21 And if there be any blemish therein, as if it be lame, or blind, or have any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the LORD thy God.
In today’s reading text, God is saying if you serve under a man as you are serving me with lethargic spirit the man will discard you. Let us repent and come back to a gracious life serving God in a dignified manner like angels. You think you have been in service for a long time but God will not respect the long years you have served. You are after personal gain for every service and activity in the church. It is like somebody asking, “After I have interpreted to a missionary that came to town what will you pay me?” God is saying if you serve Him for personal gain and not for love or as a matter of honour, He has no pleasure in you. If that be the case, should the Lord require new sets of people to do this work? Is the church to get new set of people since the ones she has have lost the vision? People that will be consumed with passion for their God. Please wake up and return with the former zeal. Whatever you are given to do, do it zealously.
It is highly contemptible to give up service of God in pursuit of personal desire and gains. Malachi 1:13 Ye said also, Behold, what a weariness is it ! and ye have snuffed at it, saith the Lord of hosts; and ye brought that which was torn, and the lame, and the sick; thus ye brought an offering: should I accept this of your hand? saith the Lord . How have you been carrying out your assignments in the service of God? Has it not been with weariness and shoddiness all the time? If you die in this condition, where will you be going? You are always offering the weak and unprofitable things. Things no more required that you will not dare give to your human masters. Is that the right attitude of service? Will such sloppy performance attract God’s commendation and reward or condemnation and rebuke? Whatever you find to do, do it as unto the Lord. God will not accept service not given wholeheartedly. God will not accept anything less than 100%.
Thought for the day: Serve God wholeheartedly.
Song for the day: With joyfulness we shall work for the Lord
Bible reading for the day:
1 Chronicles 17-19; John 10:1-21
