SERVING THE LORD

SERVING THE LORD

By Pastor Exalt Mathias

IT'S A JOY TO SERVE THE LORD!

It pays to serve God. What do you accomplish for Him? How would you serve God? What does the Bible state about serving God? What explicitly you accomplish for God?

In Romans 1:9, Paul says: "For God is my observer, whom I present with my Spirit in the good news of His Son, that consistently, I go on about you generally in my petitions.

We are required a sacred and honorable reason! You were put on earth to make a commitment. You were not made just to expend assets; to eat, inhale, and occupy room. God structured us to have any kind of effect with our life.

We were made to include to life earth, not simply take from it. God needs you to give something back. This is God's motivation for your life, and it is called your "service" or administration.

The Bible says in Ephesians 2:10, that you were made to serve the Lord. God has made us for an existence of good deeds, which He has effectively arranged for us to do. In Colossians 3:23, it says; "And whatever you do, do it healthily, with regards to the Lord and not to men". These great deeds are your administration. At whatever point you serve others in any capacity, you are really serving God.

Minister Chris recounts to an anecdote about a Father whose little girl was hitched to this man. The Father called his child in-law and said to him: "Tune in, I need you to fabricate me a house, the best house around the local area, and the best house cash can purchase. He at that point gave him enough cash and guided him to fabricate the best house around the local area, as well as can be expected purchase. The child in-law took the cash and proceeded to buy frail materials, modest materials, poor materials, and got modest work to construct the house. The child in-law returned to the Father and stated: I've done it! The dad in-law at that point asked; is it the best house nearby? Goodness indeed, answered the child in-law. Colossal, gracious yes sir; as well as could be expected have paid for? Gracious yes sir! At that point, where are the keys asked the dad in-law? The child in-law gave him the keys and the Father said to him; thank you, for you have worked admirably. The dad in-law at that point stated: presently, you take these keys, this is your home! I simply needed to accomplish something for you. Rather than the child in-law yelling glory be, he said gracious my God with his head down."

This is a great tale about how we hurt ourselves. Whatever you do, do it healthily, with regards to the Lord and not to men on the grounds that the favors are going to return back to you. The child in-law who thought he was pulling off misleading was harming himself. He was accomplishing for himself and didn't have any acquaintance with it.

You were spared to serve God. "It is He who spared us and picked us for His blessed work, not on the grounds that we merited it but rather in light of the fact that that was His arrangement" (2 Timothy 1:9). God reclaimed you so you could do His "blessed work". You are not spared by administration, however you are put something aside for administration. In God's kingdom you have a spot, a reason, a job, and a capacity to satisfy. This gives your life incredible criticalness and worth.

The Apostle John showed us, "Our affection for one another demonstrates that we have gone from death to life" (1 John 3:14). On the off chance that I have no affection for other people, no longing to serve others, and I am just worried about my needs, I should address whether Christ is truly in my life. A spared heart is one that needs to serve.

Being associated with a congregation family, you are to satisfy your calling by serving others in down to earth ways. The Bible says "Every one of you together are Christ's body, and every last one of you is a different and vital piece of it" (1 Corinthians 12:27). Keep in mind, there are no irrelevant services in the congregation. Some are noticeable AND SOME ARE BEHIND THE PICTURE, BUT ALL ARE VALUABLE. Little or shrouded services frequently have the greatest effect. In my home, the most significant light isn't the splendid light in the lounge area however the little night light that shields me from stubbing my toe when I get up during the evening. There is no connection among's size and criticalness. Each service matters since we are largely reliant on one another to work.

Today a great many chapels around the globe are biting the dust in view of Christians who are reluctant to serve. They remain uninvolved as observers and the congregation endures. They go to chapel, suck up the cooling and warming, appreciate the ensemble, feed off the Word of God and never take part in the adjusting of the sanctuary. They see a bit of paper on the floor and disregard it; they see a sibling or sister out of luck and look the other way; they will not visit the wiped out and shut-in and, they accept that once they've paid their occasionally "tithes and offering" they have satisfied their commitments. God sees everything!

We are directed to serve God. Jesus says "Your frame of mind must resemble my own, for I, the Messiah, did not come to be served, however to serve and to give my life" (Matthew 20:28). Cherished, for Christians, administration isn't discretionary, it's not something to be attached onto our timetable on the off chance that we can save the time; yet rather, it is the core of the Christian life. Jesus came "to serve" and "to give" – and those two action words ought to characterize your life on earth. You should be about your Father's the same old thing!

David was a young person shepherd kid whose physical appearance demonstrated no extraordinary highlights. There was nothing physically striking about him that indicated him as God's decision of a lord choose. Yet, God sees a long ways past what man can grasp (1 Samuel 16:7). Despite the fact that his activities weren't constantly immaculate, David's heart was impeccable toward God (Acts 13:22). He served the Lord with a steadfast heart.

To be steadfast intends to be dedicated or relentless. It intends to be dedicated to God's motivation. It implies the Pastor and the Church can rely on you. You are not remunerated for your title or position; you are compensated for being reliable. Is it accurate to say that you are reliable for your obligations? Is it accurate to say that you are steadfast at being on schedule? Is it accurate to say that you are reliable in paying your tithes and contributions? It is safe to say that you are winning spirits for Christ? Is it accurate to say that you are dependable? This was the uprightness Saul come up short on that made God dismiss him as King over Israel.

It's a great opportunity to inspect yourself and guarantee your words coordinate your activities and that your activities coordinate the contemplations of your heart in your support of the Lord. Who are you, and how would you do your work for the Lord? These are significant inquiries you should respond in due order regarding yourself. You don't get the outcomes for settling on a choice – you get the outcomes for doing what you said you would do. Just the works we do with a genuine and faithful heart will be acknowledged when we remain before the judgment seat of Christ; the rest will be scorched in light of the fact that they have no importance before God (1 Corinthians 3:13).

Individuals are inclined to overlook God when they are profoundly occupied with their common work. Their employments and organizations precede the Lord. Keep in mind, God is in every case first! It is He who gives you influence to get riches (Deuteronomy 8:18).

Let us not be deluded by the sparkling lights around us concerning the genuine importance of progress. Achievement is having God's "very much done". It is safe to say that you are giving your everything to do what he has called you to do? Is it accurate to say that you are depending on Him and not all alone quality or insight? Celebrate, for it pays to serve the Lord!
