Open Heaven 13 April 2024 TOPIC: Whom Are You Serving?

MEMORISE: “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” – Matthew 6:24 (KJV)

READ: Colossians 3:23-24 (KJV)

23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;

24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Kings 13-15

Open Heaven 13 April 2024 MESSAGE

I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. – John 9:4

The above passage says, “The works of Him that sent me,” not the works of your pastor. This was why I laughed when I heard someone say to me some time ago, “I’ve been serving you all these years.” I was amazed, so I responded, “Serving me?!” I thought we were serving God together on the same platform. You need to really know whom you are serving. Are you serving God, your pastor, or your Head of Department in church? If you are serving God, you won’t only behave well when your pastor or Head of Department is around, but you will do so at all times because the One you claim to be serving can see you all the time.

For some people, they are serving their neighbours. They want their neighbours to see them as fervent Christians, but, in secret, they keep committing sins. If you really know you are serving God, you will care more about being holy in His eyes than looking holy in public. Revelations 4:11 says, “Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.” You are to please God irrespective of the people around you.

Lastly, some people claim to be serving God, but they are actually serving their needs; they come to Him only because they need something from Him. Everything they do for God is motivated by what they want to get from Him. For example, this is why there are people who reduce their commitment in church or even stop going altogether once they get the job that they have been praying about.

For some, they are only in church because they are looking for a godly husband or wife to marry. In John 6:24-26, Jesus sent the people who were coming to Him because of bread and fish away. Such people’s service is not acceptable to Him; He can see their real intentions and does not count them among His children.

Are you serving God, people or your needs? Beloved, you need to be very clear about whom you serve. Serve God for who He is, and not for anything else.

Open Heaven 13 April 2024 REFLECTION

Are you serving God for who He is or for what you can get from Him?

Open Heaven 13 April 2024 HYMN 23 – Take My Life, And Let It Be

1 Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

2 Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee,
Swift and beautiful for Thee.

3 Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee,
Filled with messages from Thee.

4 Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose,
Every power as Thou shalt choose.

5 Take my will, and make it Thine;
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart; it is Thine own;
It shall be Thy royal throne,
It shall be Thy royal throne.

6 Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure-store.
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee,
Ever, only, all for Thee.
