THE MASTER HAS NEED OF YOU

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.

BUILDING SYSTEMS FOR NATIONAL TRANSFORMATION With Pastor Andriy Kuksenko

Everything big starts small. If you want to do something of ten thousand people you must start with few people. An organized group of people can be a new system that can transform the society. The little group of people will gradually grow to replace the old system. Our responsibility is not to fight the existing or old system but to build a new one.

BUILDING SYSTEMS FOR NATIONAL TRANSFORMATION

First Step: Values or virtues (integrity, love forgiveness, honesty, diligent). Virtues and values are what you should be ready to die for.

Your value should be of high importance to you. The source of social transformation is the church. The schools teach knowledge and the church teach values. Jesus said I will build the church and the gate of hell cannot prevail over it. That is why the church is growing. The problem of the church is not majority but absence of values and virtues.

The society is not the cause of wrong values but the leader.

When a leader comes your way, you begin to digest all the virtues of that leader. If the leaders have bad virtues, the followers will digest it as well. The schools will not teach good virtues but the church is responsible for this. Whenever you do something systematically it becomes a system. Who should we get out of the church? Leaders with positive values.

How does the church produce good system? Church should understand the goal of building leaders with good virtues and changing people’s values. Attending church on Sunday will not change you. The only thing that will change you is the process you are going through in the church.

BUILDING SYSTEMS FOR NATIONAL TRANSFORMATION

There should be a system of attraction in the church. 14% of the people invited to the church will show interest while 80%  tells you I don’t need it. Why should there be a system of attraction? Because the church need people to make them leaders. The church need people with ideas and not money from them. The church should be more interested in the education system. The educational system starts with home groups. The church starts the newly attracted people to ABC school, then to school of potentials and then school of leaders. More project you have in the church, more people you have, more leaders you have. Church is a place of pain. You don’t become a good Christian by  going to church but by going through pains. Nation cannot be formed one day, what we need is diligent work. Anything you do for people to be saved might become your calling. Stop praying about your calling, just do what this country need that is your calling. When people come to God through what you do, you are fulfilling the calling of God. Identify the pains of this country, which might become your calling.

BUILDING SYSTEMS FOR NATIONAL TRANSFORMATION

SEVEN SYSTEMS THAT INFLUENCES THE SOCIETY

THERE ARE SEVEN SYSTEMS THAT INFLUENCES THE SOCIETY.

1. Religious/belief system: religion is a powerful force.

2. Education and human development system.

3. Business/economic system.

4. Government/political system.

5. The Family/social system.

6. The Media/communication system.

7. Entertainment (Arts/culture) system.

THE POLITICAL SYSTEM. The job of the church is to raise leaders that will take care of all spheres of life. If you want to change your life start by identifying the global problems. Build a team and build a system that will enable you implement your vision. Create a system that will reward you while you are serving. One person does not have enough to supply to the whole world.

Romans 13:1

Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God.(NLT)

Government is God’s creation and God’s idea. The office the politicians are occupying are created by God.

Romans 13:2

So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished.(NLT)

God created the government. You earn the right over a period of time through consistent obedience to the authority.

In other words, the national assembly can make a law that will disobey the higher power such as that of God and nature. You must not disobey the higher authority in unrighteousness. You can only do that when the law of the authority in which you are bound is ungodly.

Romans 13:3

For the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right, but in those who are doing wrong. Would you like to live without fear of the authorities? Do what is right, and they will honor you.(NLT)

One of the purposes of the government is to check evil. A good government will not allow arm robbery, corruption. In a society where you want good things to happen, you will first start rewarding righteousness, up-righteousness and those doing good.

Romans 13:4

The authorities are God's servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God's servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong.(NLT)

The same way God created the church, he also created politics. You can’t continue to see government as a dirty game. Some parts of the Bible were written by kings.

Church is not a human idea, it is God’s idea and plan.

FIVE QUALITIES OF A GOOD POLITICIAN

1. HE IS A MODEL CITIZEN: He is a law abiding citizen. He is a role model and an example for other citizens. This is the person we should elect. Where will you find such person? Is it not in the church?  

2. HE IS A BUILDER OF THE SOCIETY. He is concerned about the common good of the society. He is a social builder. What have you done for the society to deserve the position of a leader?

3. HE IS A BUILDER OF ECONOMY. He is a builder of common wealth. His way of making money is making people while making money.

4. HE IS A PERSON OF HIGH MORAL STANDARD. He is a person of integrity; he helps to raise the moral standard of the society.

5. HE IS A BUILDER OF OTHER DESTINIES. He builds people. He leads people to their dreams. He invests in human development. He is a minister of God, an agent to check evil in the society.

If you are someone already in government, adjust your life.

2 Samuel 23:1

These are the last words of David: "David, the son of Jesse, speaks- David, the man who was raised up so high, David, the man anointed by the God of Jacob, David, the sweet psalmist of Israel.(NLT)

There is anointing for government.

2 Samuel 23:3

The God of Israel spoke. The Rock of Israel said to me: 'The one who rules righteously, who rules in the fear of God,(NLT)

A leader must lead in the fear of God.

2 Samuel 23:5

"Is it not my family God has chosen? Yes, he has made an everlasting covenant with me. His agreement is arranged and guaranteed in every detail. He will ensure my safety and success.(NLT)

David set the standard for political leaders. You may not have completely be there but adjust. Lead with the fear of God. David was a person of integrity and he rules with skill and fear of God.

THE GIFTS THAT JESUS HAS GIVEN TO EVERY BELIEVER

Jesus comes through the fruits of the spirit. He manifest through spirit. If you are living in the spirit, the fruits of the spirit will manifest in you. You will not seek to have joy. Joy will be by default in you. The peace of God passes all understanding.

There is no logic that can overtake the peace of God.

1 Corinthians 1:30

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption :(KJV).

If you understand the gifts that Jesus came to give you, you will share unbelievable testimonies. You can utilize the gift of God to fulfill your destiny

1^ST IS THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

John 16:5-7 says: But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you (KJV).

Holy Spirit suppose to bring vision

Acts 2:17

And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:(KJV)

When the Holy Spirit comes, he gives you a fresh vision. If you have no vision, you’ve not had encounter with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit give you a picture that will enable you survive. He infuses you the gift of a better future.

The Holy Spirit puts you in the track that God has designed for you. If you subject to the Holy Spirit, you will not go in a wrong way. He gives you divine direction. God has planned it. You cannot follow the Holy Spirit and make mistake. That is how God has designed it. God has finished it. He is not just beginning it.

Another gift Jesus gave to us is the weapon to bring down the enemy. What the enemy does is to use the weapon that God created for your future to create your downfall. When you use your mouth to make negative confessions, you are making way for unfilled destiny.
