25.6.23 Serving the Lord, Well
To serve well, remember those before you. Perhaps a Sunday school teacher, Father of confession or close friend.
Here are more pointers to 'glow up' your service life:
1. Get from the source - Jesus Christ. You must be filled to fill others. Think of the airplane analogy of placing your own oxygen mask BEFORE assisting others to place their own oxygen masks.
2. Utilize the Church altar. It is there with unseen power to solve any problem you face. Try it for yourself.
3. Do not worry about the results or metrics per se. Just be honest and have integrity; to provide people with all the necessary tools for their salvation. For example, ensure every child in Sunday school, knows that God loves them.
4. Remember that you have different sets of talents and duties entrusted. Percentage is the same. Keep accountable and go a 100 percent.
5. Remember when it gets hard, look up and behold the Lord, and the Heavenlies (saints and angels) above. Trust that it will get better. Do not give up.
6. Look at John the Baptist as a case study ( Luke 3: 2-9).Like John, clearly say who you are. Furthermore, John the Baptist being called a 'voice crying' alludes to us being like a sound wave in service. Hence, as servants, our role is fleeting. We must leave an impact when we get the chance. The impacts can be from our words and actions. Finally, as John the Baptist identified the problems of the Pharisees. As a disciple, we must be aware of our children being exposed to problems. We must assist them and ensure they have personalized strategies to cope in this world. Remember, service is not a 'bulk billing exchange. You must personalize it.
7. Serve the Lord of the house NOT the house of the Lord. We are expected to serve the Lord of the house. Have margin in your life according to your father of confession.
8. Seek wisdom, guidance, mentorship, feedback sandwich, seek the next person.
9.Read the passage Matthew 10: 5.
