As we were worshipin the God of ages whos love endures forever, one of the members (my mum) had a word from God n it goes lik this.."when u look out in the darkness to the sky, you see the stars shining. They shine my(God) glory. You (the church) are my stars to shine my glory."
now jus tink bout dat 4 a moment..the stars do not sin, they are witout spot or blemish and they are glorious in their own way.Perfect for reflecting God's glory n to shout His fame..
BUT
men! who sin, who disobey God, who turn their backs on God..most unreliable to shine His glory and shout His fame.
N GUESS WAD!!
God CHOSE US TO SHINE HIS GLORY!!!
jus tink bout dat 4 a moment..we as men have so much spot, so much blemish n are so imperfect..why would God even want to choose us to shout His fame? i tink in so many things we do we de-fame God's name especially in our daily lives wen sum of us speak profanity or do things which u noe is not Christ-like. n YET God chose us?
DOSEN'T THIS AMAZE U!!??=0
it sure amazes me..dat y we mus begin to embrace the thought that the fact that we serve God is a PRIVELEGE! for example in music ministry. Just think bout this..God created angels and the heavenly choir who sings sooooo much better than us. who makes even better music which is imcomparable to that of earth. BUT YET He chose us to sing n make music to Him..
Until we fully understand that its a great privelege we will never be serving God effectively coz when u take it as a duty, when hard times come, would u not fall away so easily and that serving in church or various ministries be ur last option??
Thats why my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. We must take it as a PRIVELEGE to serve God. NOT as a duty, NOT for our own glory but as a PRIVELGE 2 Serve Him. If u choose not to serve Him, God wud still raise anoder person to do the work He orginally destined for you BUT you miss out on living a life which is pleasing to GOD.
IT is a PRIVELEGE!
Priveleged,
David
