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.

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. Some nightclub bouncers do not admit people with ripped jeans or other informal clothing or gang apparel as part of a dress code. The busiest nights for a nightclub are Friday and Saturday night. Most clubs or club nights cater to certain music genres, such as house music or hip hop. Below are the list of the luxurious and most expensive Night Clubs in Nigeria 10. Signatures – Akure The c...

Man Cries Out as He is Sentenced to Jail for fetching Rain Water

Gary Harrington of Eagle Point, has been sentenced to 30 days in jail and to pay a fine of $1,500, all because he had three reservoirs on his own property, that he used to collect and use rainwater. Harrington says he plans to appeal the conviction in the Jackson County Circuit Court. That conviction revolved around nine misdemeanor charges that come from a 1925 law. That archaic ordinance bans what state water managers called “illegal reservoirs.” “The government is bullying,” Harrington said in an CNS News, last Thursday. “They’ve just gotten to be big bullies and if you just lay over and die and give up, that just makes them bigger bullies. So, we as Americans, we need to stand on our constitutional rights, on our rights as citizens and hang tough. This is a good country, we’ll prevail,” he added. It all started back in 2002, when Harrington was attacked for having three “reservoirs” (ponds) on his large 170 acres of land. But the state claims that collecting water requi...

Devotion - FORGING FORWARD

“And the LORD said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? Speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward” - Exodus 14:15 It is unfortunate that many youths do not see the need or have the zeal to move forward in life. Rather, they find a comfort zone at the bottom of the ladder of life. A story was told of a young man from a very rich home, who completed primary school but chose to waste away his life with vagabond lifestyle, despite his parents’ wish to sponsor him up to university level. All his mates, including those who were not as bright as he was, made it in their academic pursuits. He ended up an outcast, and by the time he came back to his senses and returned to persuade his parents to send him to school, alcohol had damaged his brain. It is not God’s desire that you remain static in your plans but that you make steady progress. God does not expect you to remain the same way over the years without moving forward. Striv...
