Whom Are You Serving?


Are you one of those that wish they could do more for the Kingdom of God? Or you have started serving, but you are so bogged down with the nonchalant, irreverent and lazy attitude of the people around you? Or like Martha in Luke 10:40-42, all the work in the Unit or Department had been left to you to do?  

Martha like you was worried about something good after all she had Jesus over for dinner. She was literary serving God! Her aim therefore, was to please Jesus! Unfortunately she made a common yet dangerous mistake. How? As she began to serve Him, her service became more important than the Lord she was meant to serve! What began as a way to serve Jesus Christ slowly and subtly became a way to serve self! She had forgotten that the meal was to honor and draw attention to Jesus not herself. Her sister Mary on the other hand drew attention to the Master when she broke the alabaster box of perfume at His feet, without minding the cost to herself. How far gone are you in your service? Have you been carried away with the service and have forgotten whom is to be served? No wonder you are feeling frustrated with no result! So many forgot the Scripture in Hebrews 11:6 that says "But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him." Come to Him on a daily basis and He will teach you how to go about your service to Him. The Bible equally says in Luke 10:40-42 “Martha was distracted with much serving…But Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her”. Ponder on these words and be like Mary though serving was seated at the feet of Christ to learn of Him – His way of making and doing things right.

The Quarry Site Experience

Have you ever visited a quarry site and considered the process the rocks are subjected to before they become dressed stones to be used? If the stones could talk they will have a story to tell about their experiences.  As children of God we go through diverse experiences and we wonder if we will indeed survive them. Sometimes we wonder why our gracious and compassionate Father would allow such to befall us considering who we are in Him and what we are doing in His vineyard.  The Scripture that should readily come to our minds in such circumstances is God’s assurance when He said: “I will be with you when you pass through the waters, and when you pass through the rivers, they will not overwhelm you. You will not be scorched when you walk through the fire and the flame will not burn you ” (Isaiah 43:2). This Scripture assures us that through the experiences of flames and waters, God is always by our side to see us through.  Thus, it is necessary for us to go through the...

It Is Time To Raise A Cry For Nigeria!

  "The voice said, “Cry out!” And he said, “What shall I cry?” “All flesh is grass, And all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades, Because the breath of the Lord blows upon it; Surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever” (Isaiah 40:6-8).         Listening to a brother detailing how Nigeria will be great again because it was foretold decades ago, I quieted down in my spirit to listen to him. According to him, the prophecies of old say that Nigeria will become a beacon of God's light to the rest of the world as they carry His Word to the rest of the world, especially in Africa. He enumerated the many qualities of Nigeria, especially the spiritual significance of her position within the continent of Africa. She will be used by God to trigger the last move of revival in the last days, he continued.         I listened attentively,...

Daily Walk With The LORD

       As we await the imminent return of the LORD Jesus Christ, we enter a time of great exposure and blessing. All that had been hidden will be revealed, all that had been a lie will be exposed, and those who can discern these things and make adjustments to their lives will be greatly blessed in this time!        As the Church Age draws to a close, we see and understand the Scriptures more clearly by the Help of the Holy Spirit, as we see Scriptures literary play out before our eyes. These are the times we must strengthen our resolve to serve Him more dearly and follow Him more closely. Failure to do this is to fall into all manner of errors orchestrated by the devil through his agents to derail as many from the path of righteousness and eternal life in Christ Jesus.         Many strange but carefully crafted teachings are flooding the pulpits and airwaves to distract, confuse and steal the hearts of children of God from...
