Triggers Of The Blessing

         

And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. Exodus 23:25.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: If you serve God well, you don’t beg for honour or respect...

From our anchor Scripture of today, we understand that you don’t need to beg to be blessed when you serve the Lord. Luke 22:35 says, ‘And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye anything? And they said, Nothing.’ So, if you serve God well, you don’t beg for honour or respect. We once went to a state for a programme in a Church, and the state government refused to allow us to stay in a hotel. Instead, they sent their staff with their entourage all the way to the airport to receive us and lodge us at the Government house. Though I wasn’t looking for it, it was offered. In addition to this, several high ranking government officials attended the service. This goes to prove that when you serve the Lord, you don’t beg for what other people are dying to get. By the special grace and mercy of God, there is nobody in this country whose appointment I am struggling to get. Why? It is because of rugged donated service to God. I went to a place to minister and the second person in command in that place asked the contact person, ‘Can the man come over here? And the contact person said, ‘No sir, you are the one to meet him.’

As people donated to the service of God, we don’t struggle for attention or honour. Beloved, endeavour to make it a point of duty to go into serious evangelism and soul-winning this year. Let there be at least one person that comes to Jesus Christ because of you; let somebody be on your record monthly, weekly or yearly as a person who you brought to know God. You should be able to point to someone and say, ‘Thank God for this brother’s life. I remember the day I went out and saw him smoking. Now, look at him; he is one of the leaders in the prayer band’, etc. Heaven will no doubt look at that and reward and honour you. Beloved, be committed to serving God so that He can be committed to blessing and honouring you. 

ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Prayerfully ask God to give you passion for souls.
2. Endeavour to go for evangelism every week.

PRAYER: Lord, create a deep hunger for the souls of men in me so that more souls can be snatched from hell to Heaven, in Jesus’ Name.
