Today's Devotion-Serving God is His Grace!

2 Cor 6:1-2 As God's fellow workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain. NIV

Those who are called to served God knows that it was never on their qualification that they are being used by God to His service. John 15:16 says that "You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you!. . .

In this context, we who serves God must always preserved and treasure this priveledge which is the product of God's grace by;

1. Serving God faithfully-1 Peter 4:10-11 Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms. NIV

2. Serving God joyfully-Its should always be in the attitude of joy rthat we should be doing whatever we are doing in His Kingdom and through His people.Though there will be miscomfort, testings and trials, sometimes even failures.-2 Cor 6:10 sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything. NIV

3. Serving God consistently- not a double minded mind but in the singleness of heart, with no other concern but only Christ as long as we lived!-Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.NIV

4. Serving God Sacrificially- as the verse aboved said it well! Death is a necessity in serving Christ. Not that He should force us to it, but that we are willingly coming to it. So that if ever we will do something good, it will not be accounted to us, but to Him!-Col 3:17And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. NIV

Have so much to say regarding this matter, but let it be unto here. For serving Christ needs to be seen not just in words we say or letter we write but by what we will be doing today for Him and in Him.

May we be His DOULOS which means God's bond servant, who does not expect any reward for whatever we did for Him. But just simply serving Him till He wants and needs of him!!!

God's doulos!!!
