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

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
