Service to God
Love
Your Act Of Service.
A
Christ-like nature must as a matter of necessity reflect in all our acts of
service to God. The Christ like nature of service is to love the service even
unto death.
John
15:13 Greater love hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his
friends. KJV
Christ
in his service to GOD and to man, exhibited the highest form of love, even to
the death on a cross. The passion was to see the few steps he took at the
beginning of the bold step of faith into fruition. The very love that he has
for mankind and the heavenly father resulted in the intrinsic motivation that
kept the fire burning. The flame that keeps our faith in a perpetual hope and
expectation of a greater tomorrow.
We
in the course of our service fail to develop love for the activity we are
involved in and also for the person to which the service is rendered-God.
With
the lack of such a seed of love in our service, our service is reduced to a
rendering that only seeks to show that we can exhibit a certain ability or
gift.
1
Corinthians 13:1-3
13 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
We,
in the exhibition of the diverse gifts that the Lord bestows on us must do so
with the love for which the gifting was bestowed to us.
Just
as the gifting is birthed out of love, our service can be of profit if it is
done with the love it is borne with.
It
is recorded in proverbs that “Iron sharpeneth iron…” to maintain the function
of the product of God, it is reasonable that it is done the God way- through
love.
I
beseech you; usher, bassist, singer, teacher, drummer…. That we develop the
love that cometh from Christ: seeking from him, because he gives freely, and
steadily grow in it.
We
must with the consciousness, knowledge and love the God has given us, render a
genuine service unto His holy name.
With
the prize in mind…. Love the service even unto Death for our God!!
God
bless you as you practice this.
God
bless you
In Jesus name! Amen!
