QUALITIES OF ACCEPTABLE AND REWARDABLE SERVICE

God bless you for taking the time to study.

TOPIC: QUALITIES OF ACCEPTABLE AND REWARDABLE SERVICE

TEXT: 1 PETER 5: 1-6 

TUESDAY MAY 2ND 

Key verse: Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he 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; 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 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 believer. 
(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: The effectual, fervent prayers of the righteous avails much.
(viii).  Righteousness: Note that the little service rendered in righteousness is greater than the great one without holiness. 
(ix).  Divine pattern and Trust: If your service is done with patience in line with the divine pattern, it gives sweet savour coming out of a pure heart.

Thought for the day: Be humble and pure while rendering service unto God 

Song for the day: My lifetime, I will give God my lifetime

Bible reading for the day: 1 Kings 3-5; Luke 23:1-26

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...
