SERVICE IS THE PATHWAY TO HONOUR
Service is the pathway to honour. The reward for
service is honour. The primary purpose of God saving us is to serve Him.
Exodus 7:16
And thou shalt say unto him, The LORD God of the
Hebrews hath sent me unto thee, saying, Let my people go, that they may serve
me in the wilderness: and, behold, hitherto thou wouldest not hear.(KJV)
Let my people go, God said this so that His
people will serve Him. What is the motif your salvation? It is nothing more
than to serve Him. The primary purpose of it is not to prosper you but to serve
and worship Him in spirit and in truth.
Luke 1:74
That he would grant unto us, that we being
delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,(KJV)
Isaiah 54:17
No weapon that is formed against thee shall
prosper; and every tongue [that] shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt
condemn. This [is] the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their
righteousness [is] of me, saith the LORD.(KJV).
This heritage is not for church goers but for the
servants of the Lord.
Psalm 91:11
For He will give His angels [especial] charge
over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of
obedience and service].(AMP)
Why would God invest in you?
Job 36:11
If they obey and serve Him, they shall spend
their days in prosperity and their years in pleasantness and joy.(AMP)
Humility is one of the things lacking in the
church. Respect and honour is not more there in the church. We are all working
and living big. Sometimes nothing in the kingdom concerns us. If you want to be
the greatest, you must be a servant. Serve the Lord and gain everything. Jesus is God yet He humbled himself and came
down from God just to save us. You go to work very early in the morning
everyday yet on Sunday you would want to rest. The day of meeting with the King
of Kings becomes your resting day. God never forget those who serve Him
diligently. It does not matter whether man is seeing you or not, what matters
is the service you are rendering to God. You must not be a pastor to serve. You
must not be a bishop. Even if you go to Chevron everyday you will not receive
their salary, they pay only those who are in their payroll who are serving.
Service is the pathway to honour
The strength of service is determined by whom
you are serving. We are serving the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. You
will not lack when you are serving the God who owes the whole world. The
primary aim of a Christian is to get God’s attention and this can only be
achieved through service to God. There is a place for everyone in the kingdom,
we have opportunity to serve. We are all saved to serve. There is no excuse for
this task; God is in need of you. He is looking for those who will say “Here I
am Lord, send me”. Get back in service; there are departments in the church
where you can function.
