Bible Reading: 1 Pet. 4: 7 - 11
Topic: The Service That Glorifies God
The reason we can go
through the rough and tough times in life, not feeling good about ourselves,
not having fulfilling moments and not experiencing the Hand of God on the way,
is because that we do not account properly for the service we do each time we
are called.
Perhaps you have forgotten
that service (or Ministry) is not among the seven spiritual gifts given and
ably distributed to different members of the Body of Christ (Rom. 12: 6 - 8)
In these end times the
question is how do we render service to God and man?
Having been called to
serve, and as we experience worries, troubles, hostilities, uncertainties,
reproaches and all kinds of wickedness on earth, let us therefore
1. be serious and watchful in our prayers
2. have a fervent love for one another for love will cover a
multitude of sins
3. be hospitable to one another without grumbling
4. having received a gift, minister it to one another as good
stewards of the manifold grace of God
5. speak as an oracle of God
6. and minister with the ability which God supplies, so that in
all God may be glorified through Christ
Prayer
A & M 328
A charge to keep I have
A God to glorify
A never-day soul to save
And fit it for the sky
amen
Memory Verse 1 Pet. 4: 11
"If any man speak,
let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of
the ability which God giveth; that God in all things may be glorified through
Jesus Christ, to Whom be Praise and Dominion for ever and ever, Amen."
