QUALITIES OF REWARDING SERVICE:
TEXT: 1 PETER 5: 1-6
Key verse: Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith, it is impossible to please him: for him that
cometh to God must believe that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently
seek him.”
(I). Faith: Faith says God calls you and will reward you. Do not allow any situation to distract you.
(ii). Faithfulness: Do it according to pattern and according to Divine specification.
(iii). Humility: Be humble so you can perform service unto God. If you see yourself as highly placed, you may be directing works to younger ministers under you to do while some of these works may actually be for you. Where other people are assigned responsibilities and you are left out, God must have chosen somebody at that time to do it, so be humble and listen.
(iv). Holiness: Cloth yourself with the garment of holiness – as a minister you need it.
(v). Sufferings: It is given to all believers not only to believe in Christ but to partake in His sufferings. There is a reward if you suffered with Him.
(vi). Wisdom is the principal thing. Seek it and seek understanding.
(vii). Love should be the principle on which you work.
(viii). Prayer will give you victory because the effectual, fervent prayers of the righteous availeth much.
(viii). Righteousness and holiness: Note that the little service rendered in righteousness is greater than great one without holiness.
(ix). Divine pattern: If your service is done with patience in line with divine pattern, it gives sweet savour coming out of a pure heart.
Thought for the day: Be humble so you can perform service unto God.
Song for the day: My lifetime, I will give God my lifetime
Bible reading for the day: Jeremiah 17-19; 1 Timothy 6
