"Serving Christ!"

 

"For HIM to be Praised!"

 

2 Corinthians 9:13(New International Version)

Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else.

The Apostle Paul's letter reminds me that confession of Christ as my Lord and Savior, is the primary service of my obedience.

Having God's Peace as the foundation of my faith, enables me to be generous in sharing what HE is doing in my life.

While Holy Spirit works to bring me into a deeper understanding of how serving Christ, my ministry brings increasing Glory to my heavenly father, it also proves to me that HIS commission is an ongoing and continual work, not to be thought of as a past experience but one of a continual and ongoing relationship.

Paul expresses the deep conviction for the souls of those who do not have a relationship with HIM, which accompanies the calling to serve Christ faithfully, I too must prove myself faithful in those areas of my calling where God can be Praised and HIS name will be glorifed in the hearts of HIS creation.

 

Father, YOUR calling I have clearly heard,
and on my lips are YOUR Holy WORD!
I desire to serve with obedience,
proving to those who seek YOU,
that YOUR Grace and Mercy
is found only in Christ!!
For souls to be brought into YOUR kingdom,
grant me increasing boldness to
proclaim YOUR Son as Lord,
in what I do and all that I say!!!

 

 

Amen!
