CALLED TO SERVE

 "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many." – Mark 10:45 (NKJV)


As Christians, our lives are a calling, and this calling is just like the one Jesus had. He said, "As the Father has sent Me, I also send you." – John 20:21 So we must follow Jesus and do what He did during His time of service on earth.

As we reflect on Jesus during this Easter season, we see how obedient He was to His Father, who is also our God and Father. Just as He said, "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve," we too are called to live in the same way.

What I want you to think about and act on this Easter is: to serve others and give yourself for their sake. Today, some servants of God have changed the true meaning of the Gospel. Their lives do not reflect this message at all. Instead of serving, they want others to serve them. They live in selfishness and show off, without caring for those in need.

This does not mean serving God means being poor or having nothing. No! I want you to know that the money and riches God has given you are so you can be a blessing to others—especially to help those in need. We are also serving God's kingdom, so you must use your resources and abilities to do God’s work.

Jesus Christ gave Himself for us. He left His throne and glory and accepted to die on the cross for us. In the same way, we should also give ourselves for others. Help them with whatever God has blessed you with.

So this Easter, do something for God’s kingdom and for someone who is in need. But more importantly, change your lifestyle completely. Stop being selfish. Know that you are here on earth to help others with the gift, talent, or ability that God gave you.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, thank You for showing us an example of giving and serving. Please give me that same spirit in my heart.

THE TIME TO RECEIVE THE FRUITS OF YOUR LABOUR IS NOW

  “Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them, For they shall eat the fruit of their doings. Isaiah 3:10 NKJV This is a powerful word of hope as you begin this month.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

DO NOT COMPARE YOURSELF TO OTHERS

  "I know what it is to be poor or to have plenty, and I have lived under all kinds of conditions. I know what it means to be full or to be hungry, to have too much or too little. Philippians 4:12 CEV" God’s purpose for humankind is for everyone to succeed, but each person has their own season. Just as each flower blooms in its own time, each of us has a time set by God. When that season comes, God will make you prosper. Until then, keep praying and working hard, trusting in His timing. When you look at your peers, former classmates, family members, or others in your age group and see their success, it’s easy to start comparing. Maybe a friend just built a new house or got a high-paying job, or perhaps someone you know is getting married. If you feel like you’ve achieved more, you may feel good about yourself. But if you feel like you’re still “behind,” it’s easy to feel discouraged and inadequate. This is where your perspective can become distorted. Some people think they ar...
