• The bible has been divided into two divisions: obedience to God and service to God.
• For you to be a stable christian,make sure you understand issues of obedience and matters of service to God.
• Serving God is doing things that advance the cause of God’s kingdom.
• Serving God is not something we are born with, it is something you need to work on.
• God will not force you to serve Him, you must make the choice to serve Him.
• Believers who don’t engage in serving God don’t see the full manifestation of the scriptures in their lives.
SOME PLATFORMS ON WHICH TO SERVE GOD
1. SOUL-WINNING AND RETENTION (2 Tim 4:1-2, John 15:7-8, 15-16)
• This is God’s heartbeat.
• Serving on this platform is equal to owning a gold mine.
• When you understand this platform, poverty, lack and want will not be part of your life.
• When you engage in this, you will be one of those that give God pleasure.
• You can’t give God pleasure and also be poor.
2. KINGDOM-ADVANCING PRAYERS (Luke 24:28-32)
• You must be diligent in your service to God (Prov 22:29, Dan 6:16-20, Luke: 2:36-37)
• In most cases, rewards are not at the beginning or middle of the journey but at the end.
• When it comes to serving God, be in it for the long haul.
• Make sure your service is based on revelation.
• God also expects you to serve him delightfully and joyfully (Deut 28:47-48).
• Joy and gladness is a spiritual uniform, it gives you identity before God.
BENEFITS OF KINGDOM SERVICE (Exo 23:25-28)
1. SICKNESS AND DISEASES BECOME A THING OF THE PAST
2. YOU STOP LABOURING IN VAIN
3. SIEGES AND EMBARGOES BECOME BROKEN
PRAYER POINT:
FATHER, BY YOUR MERCY, GIVE ME AN IN-DEPTH UNDERSTANDING OF THE BLESSEDNESS OF KINGDOM SERVICE. HELP ME UP MY GAME IN THIS AREA A THOUSAND TIMES MORE THIS YEAR AND BEYOND.
(JOHN 13:3-5, 15-17)
