The Call of God

Theme for the Week: DISCIPLESHIP: SET APART FOR THE GOSPEL

Reading: Jeremiah 1:1-10

Jeremiah 1:5 (KJV)
Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

God calls onto us to manifest His glory to the world, but most of us are unable to determine what God expects of us in each day.

God knew you, just as He knew Jeremiah, in the womb before you were conceived or born; and He has a purpose in mind for you.

As Christians, we are to determine our purpose in life and that would determine the call of God on us. Ask yourself; Why am I here?

It is expedient to note that not all people has been called into specific ministries, but all has the call of God to portray Christ to the world. We have the call of God to love, obey and serve Him, and glorify Him with all that we do.
Hallelujah!

Let's Pray:
Abba Father, we praise You. O LORD God, how us Your purpose for our lives, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Set Apart For The Gospel

Theme for the Week: DISCIPLESHIP: SET APART FOR THE GOSPEL

Reading: Acts 13:1-3

Acts 13:2 (KJV)
As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.

The work of God must need done on earth, and this can be fulfilled through people whom He  sets apart for such purpose.

The apostles made themselves ready by setting themselves to prayer and fasting. They first separated themselves to minister unto God.

Dear friend, God wants to separate people for His work, but you must be ready to be set apart from the congregation. As He sets you apart for the Gospel, do not concentrate on the riches and glory it brings; concentrate on the work you have been set apart for. Selah.

Let's Pray:
Abba Father, we praise You. O LORD God, set us apart for the Gospel in the name of Christ Jesus. Amen.

Call to Serve One Another

Theme for the Week: DISCIPLESHIP: SET APART FOR THE GOSPEL

Reading: Galatians 5:13-15

Galatians 5:13 (NIV)
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.

Christianity is about service to mankind. To make the word of God complete in us, we are to love the LORD God, and also love one another.

The flesh desires that it feels comfortable in every way, so it doesn't whether that would be at the expense of another; all that it ever needs is its freedom and comfort.

Nonetheless, our comfort as Christians must be found in the service we deliver to one another in love. If we humbly serve one another in love, we portray the Gospel of God to the world.

Let's Pray:
Abba Father, we praise You. LORD God, humble our hearts to serve one another through Christ Jesus. Amen.

Call to Humility and Servanthood

Theme for the Week: DISCIPLESHIP: SET APART FOR THE GOSPEL

Reading: Mark 9:30-35

Mark 9:35 (KJV)
And he sat down, and called the twelve, and saith unto them, If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all.

One thing, I believe, the disciples never expected as the solution to their struggle over who should be the greatest was a call to service. How can someone who wants to lead begin by being a servant? Why not he start by commanding his servants to do this and that for him?

It is good to be ambitious and industrious, but that should be geared towards advancing the kingdom business. When we loose focus of this and seek to first promote self, we fail.

The Lord expects us to be great, but He wants to see us humble ourselves by serving others and seeking their successes first. When this happens, we become leaders of victors rather than failures, thus the greatest.
Stay blessed.

Let's Pray:
Heavenly Father, we adore You. LORD God, give us the heart of a servant, that we may thread the path of greatness, in Jesus' name. Amen.

Servanthood: The Path To Greatness

Theme for the Week: DISCIPLESHIP: SET APART FOR THE GOSPEL

Reading: Matthew 20:26-28

Matthew 20:27 (KJV)
And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:

Servants are of low condition or spirit. He is someone who serves another, thus, such a person is not seen as great as the one being served.

The world's definition of a servant sees no greatness in it. However, Jesus gave us a new definition, even as He made His life also an example of a chief servant who climbed the ladder of greatness.

Dear friend, Jesus has made us to understand that a real leader has a servant's heart. Whether you lead or serve others does not matter as having a servant's heart.

Jesus Christ, the great leader, was with a servant's heart, so let us have this mind in us as His servants, and we shall climb the ladder of greatness. Selah.

Let's Pray:
Heavenly Father, we thank You. Father, give us the heart of a servant, that we may serve all those You entrust to us, in Jesus' name. Amen.
