Wednesday, July 16, 2025Key Verse
Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord” (Romans 12:11).
Text —Romans 12:9 -13
Message
Believers are saved to serve. Anyone who professes to be born again will have a burning desire to serve the Lord. Our two-fold service that are imperative include soul-wining (preaching the gospel to the sinners) and taking part at least in one of the various ministries in the church (singing, ushering, teaching, prayer, media, and security).
Fervency involves enthusiasm, conviction, and persistence. An idle, slothful or lethargic person can never be Christ’s servant. John Wesley said, “What marvel the devil does not love field preaching! Neither do I; I love a commodious room, a soft cushion, a handsome pulpit. But where is my zeal, if I do not trample all these under foot in order to save one more soul?” There is no agreement between idleness and Christianity. God has much for everyone to accomplish in His vineyard.
As we engage in the service of the Lord, it is expected that we serve Him till the end of our life. Serve at home, school and everywhere. If we labour for Him here faithfully, He will reward us when He comes.
