Service onto God

Serving God is wonderful. Exhibited out of a glad heart and in response to who He is to us. God is a holy God and any service offered to Him should be out of a pure heart. Not by compulsion. Psalm 100: 2. Serve the Lord with gladness and delight; Come before His presence with joyful singing.

Serving God should be done with enthusiasm in response to His call.
Submitting to God’s order in regards to what he entails. Submitting to His rule and authority in all that is required of us.
Det 10:12 ” And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require from you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to love Him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 
This is the one thing that is required of us once we make this confession “Jesus Christ, i accept you as Lord and Savior of my life”. God sent His Son Jesus Christ to redeem us, so that we may serve Him. God manifested His Mighty power to the children of Israel while in bondage in Egypt and fulfilled his promises to their Fathers. He delivered them from captivity for them to serve Him. Exodus 8:1 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Go to Pharaoh and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord,”Let My people go, so that they may serve Me.

It is very significant for us to walk in obedience to what God has requested us to do. i.e serving Him. This will enable us enjoy His blessings and rendered promises. Israel followed God and He gave them their inheritance; land, properties, cities. He gave them rest. Joshua 22:4-5. And now the Lord your God has given rest to your brothers, as He promised them; so turn now and go to your tents, to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you beyond the Jordan. Only be careful and diligently observe the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the Lord has commanded you to love the Lord your God and walk in His ways and keep His commandments and hold fast to Him and serve Him with all your heart and soul(your very life).

If you are in the market place and wondering how you can serve God, well its pretty simple. All your works should basically portray the reverence of God. The service that is acceptable to God is that which is filled with reverence and profound respect. Your choice and whole being should reflect who God is to you. If you fear the Lord you will operate in his status, not to please men but to honor God. You shall not be easily swayed or deceived , your heart shall not turn from the Lord to serve other gods…be it possessions, fame,money. Matthew 6: 24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

We easily deny ourselves abundant blessings when we detach
ourselves from serving God. Det 28:48Because you did not serve the Lord your God with a heart full of joy and gladness for the abundance of all things which He has blessed you, You will therefore serve your enemies whom the Lord sends against you, in hunger and in thirst, in nakedness and in lack of all things: and He will put an iron yoke on your neck until He has destroyed you.

Instead of living an abundant life enjoying God’s blessings through service, we give way for the enemy to torment us, to his slavery. Hunger strikes us. We are given over to hollowness and pain. To drought and scarcity. (Judges 2:11-15). If you do not serve your redeemer you cause misfortune upon yourself . The hand of God that protected and covered you is no longer there. The Lord gives power to plunders who rob you. Rob you off joy, happiness, peace, they devastate you and loot you off your place/ position.

We are servants of God. Serving Him by the grace he has adequately availed to us; not by our own qualifications or strength. Certainly know that it is the Lord whom you serve. It is from the Lord not from men that you will receive the inheritance which is your greatest reward.
