How Has Your Service Been?
Friday, December 29, 2023Key Verse
“With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men” (Ephesians 6:7).
Text — Ephesians 6:5-8
Message
One key reason why a number of companies and corporations fold up soon after they commence operation is the poor service that is rendered by their workers. Such employees only do their work with all commitment when their employers or superior officers are around to monitor their activities. But in their absence, they handle the work with the ‘I don’t care’ attitude. They deceptively work to please their employers, not the Omniscient God. This is what is called ‘eyeservice.’
Christians need to understand that they have been regenerated and transformed by Christ. As such, they cannot render a deceptive service either to man or God. While human bosses could be deceived, God cannot because He is omniscient. Also, God will adequately reward every good service we render in His vineyard whether in soul winning, choir, cleaning or in other activities. Have you served well this year? Evaluate the service you render at home, school and church fellowship. Samuel served well and God discussed the impending judgment on the priests with him. Is your service acceptable to God?
