YOU ARE CREATED FOR SERVICE

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD AMEN.

SATURDAY 19TH MARCH

YOU ARE CREATED FOR SERVICE 
TEXT: Luke 10: 30 – 37
Key verse: John 6: 9 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, saith unto him, There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
Man is created for God's service and to worship Him. He created Eve to serve Adam and Adam to serve Him. In Christ, we are recreated for His service. 2 Corinthians 5:17; "Therefore if any man is in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things have become new."  In Christ, you are a new creature. You need to serve in the new things now. You are here for service; to serve God and man. 
The call to Christian service is a call to serve God and men. Jesus said, I do the will of my Father which is in heaven (John 8: 29), which is service to God. All that thou has given to me I have kept except the son of perdition (John 17: 12). That is man service. Do that which will give God glory. Anything you will do to God, man and society do it well. That is the purpose of your existence. The little boy with five loaves and two fishes was there for service; he released those items to serve God and man.
The purpose of service is to recover the wounded man. Our text for today showed the service of the Good Samaritan:
1. He had compassion on him. If you have compassion, you will serve. You will both serve God and man. Develop a compassionate heart for the wounded. Many are spiritually wounded, go and heal them. Speak words of comfort to them. Take actions of comfort. 
2. He poured in oil and wine. Use your materials and spend your resources for evangelism 
3. He set him on his beast. Learn to suffer for people; be identified with suffering, the unemployed, the unmarried, the sick, the barren, etc… 
4. He brought him to an inn. Provide security and home to those in predicaments; 
5. He took care of him:
Ensure you provide food and clothing to brethren; If this can be done to a stranger, what about us that have known each other. Our Services to God is all the days of our lives. God saved you to serve Him. Do not allow anything to remove Christian service from you. The olive tree was to receive promotion but rejected it because it will rob God of His service and glory. Give up that honour that will keep you from serving God. Poverty and wretchedness must not tamper with your services to God and men. God brought you here to graduate you as a true Christian for the world to learn from.

Thought for today: Be faithful in your service to God and man

Song for the day: Serving the living God…
Bible reading for the day:
Deuteronomy 33-35; Luke 1:24-56

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
