REFLECTIONS
“GOD IS THE ULTIMATE GIVER”
Joshua 24 :13
” I have given you a land…cities…vineyards…olive groves..”
Reflection 1
God is GOOD!
He is “THE ULTIMATE GIVER!!
Please consider the following:
“God gave His Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ” (John 3:16)
“Everything we have comes from God”
(1 Chronicles 29:13-14)
“God gives the Power to get Wealth” (Deut. 8:18)
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above” (James 1:17)
Father we thank you because “You did not spare your own Son (Jesus), but delivered Him up for us.
We know that “You shall freely give us All things”
(Romans :32)
Reflection 2
“WE WILL SERVE THE LORD”
Joshua 24:15
Joshua admonished and encouraged us ALL to make a wise choice & declare that:
“WE WILL SERVE THE LORD”
Brethren, It is a Privilege to serve Almighty God.
After all, we just concluded that He is constantly and freely giving us so much!
According to Psalms 24:1, “The Earth is The Lord’s and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it” yet, he is MINDFUL of Mortals that we are!
It is therefore imperative to have the right MINDSET as we operate in our various spheres of influence.
In addition to the Privilege serving Almighty God either within The House of the Lord or in the Market Square, HONOUR is a sure REWARD
Apostle John reported the Declaration of Our Lord Jesus that “If anyone serves me, him my father will honour”
(John 12:25-26)
Indeed, The Lord never said to the seed of Jacob ” SEEK ME IN VAIN”
( Isaiah 45:19)
Folks, apart from being OUR REASONABLE SERVICE to serve The Lord, it is also REWARDING.
This is WIN – WIN. Hallelujah !!!
Prayers
1. “BLESS THE LORD O MY SOUL, FORGET NOT HIS BENEFITS”
(Psalms 103:1-4)
Father, help us by The Holy Spirit to ALWAYS remember your Benefits.
Thank you BLESSED GIVER.
2. “NOT SLOTHFUL IN BUSINESS, FERVENT IN SPIRIT, SERVING THE LORD”
(Romans 12:11)
Heavenly Father, we receive the Power, Diligence and The Discipline to serve you to the End.
Amen & Amen.
