Daily Devotion: Blessed to Serve

*November 13, 2017*
So you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you. - *Exodus 23:25*

The purpose of any product is determined by the manufacturer. Any other use asides the one predetermined by the manufacturer will be grossly underutilizing the product. Our purpose as children of a loving God is that we should serve Him with our totality and all that we have. To grant us that we, Being delivered from the hand of our enemies, Might serve Him without fear - *Luke 1:74*

This scripture makes it clear that the cardinal reason God invested so much in our salvation is so that “we being free might serve Him”.  We must understand that true service or stewardship is first within, then without. It begins in the heart. God is not so much after our outward show of service.

Inasmuch as there are amazing benefits and blessings tied to serving God. We do not serve Him because of those benefits; we serve Him out of a heart of love. This therefore means that only those who truly love God will truly serve Him. This is where real stewardship begins.
 
We also serve God irrespective of our feelings. We do not serve Him as convenient but as commanded and He has commanded that we serve Him “…all the days of our lives” whether we feel like it or not. This is why we serve God primarily by faith as faith is the only way we can go on despite our feelings.

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. - Hebrew 11:6

*Further Reading: Exodus 9:1, Luke 1:73-75, Hebrew 12:28, Exodus 23:25-26*

*PRAYER*
Daily as I live,  often as I breath,  let my whole life be expression of your grace. I give myself away so you can use me for your glory.

YOU ARE INDESTRUCTIBLE

“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever “(1Peter 1:23 ). Jesus said in Luke 8:11 that the Word of God is seed, which means you were born of God’s incorruptible seed when you were born again. The Word seed is translate from the Greek word “Sperma”. That is where the English word “Sperm” came from. So the opening Scripture should actually read: “being born again not of corruptible sperm but of incorruptible, by the sperm of God which liveth and abideth forever”. Understand that when you are b orn again, you are born of God’s sperm – His word. This is what makes you indestructible. The Life in you is sickness, disease and death resistant. You have the life of God, and that makes you supernatural. The same life that makes God who he is, now flows I your spirit, soul and body. Your life is no longer dependant of blood that flows through your physical body. The blood of man is the life of the f...

DON'T QUACK LIKE DUCKS, SOAR LIKE AN EAGLE

I received this story this morning, it came in so timely and thought I should share ... Enjoy Good article. DUCKS QUACK WHILE EAGLES SOAR   I was waiting in line for a ride at the airport,when a cab pulled up; the first thing I noticed was that the taxi was polished to a bright shine, smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie and freshly pressed black slacks.  The cab driver jumped out and rounded the car to open the back passenger door for me. He handed me a laminated card and said: I'm Wasiu, your driver.  While I'm loading your bags in the trunk I'd like u to read my mission statement.' Taken aback, I read the card; It said: Wasiu's Mission Statement:   " To get my customers to their destination in the quickest, safest and cheapest way possible in a friendly environment" .   This blew me away. Especially when I noticed that the inside of the cab matched the outside. Spotlessly clean!  As he slid behind the wheel, Wasiu sa...

Top 10 Best Night Club in Nigeria

Nightclubs (or Disco as known in most European countries) is an entertainment event center and bar that usually operates late into the night. A nightclub is generally distinguished from regular bars, pubs or taverns by the inclusion of a stage for live music, one or more dance floor areas and a DJ booth, where a DJ plays recorded music and also the closing hours. The upmarket nature of nightclubs can be seen in the inclusion of VIP areas in some nightclubs, for celebrities and their guests. Nightclubs are much more likely to use bouncers to screen prospective clubgoers for entry.
