WONDERWORLD CAPSULES BY Apostle Jordan Akada
WEDNESDAY 6TH JANUARY 2021
TOPIC: CHOOSE TO SERVE HIM
And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
And the people answered and said, God forbid that we should forsake the LORD, to serve other gods; For the LORD our God, he it is that brought us up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, and which did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way wherein we went, and among all the people through whom we passed. (Joshua 24:15-17)
The Lord is speaking to the power that has held you in captivity that they should let you be. Your liberty is established now in the name of Jesus. The essence of deliverance and redemption is service to God.
After God has used Joshua to conquer Canaan land (leading the children of Israel to the land of promise), so also, there’s something you are about to take over to the glory of God and to the shame of the devil. It’s not by power, not by might, not by your own energy rather the Holy ghost is doing something, you may not really understand because of what you are seeing now in your life but the truth is that you can’t remain like this. God is about doing what will cause people to say “of a truth your God liveth” and that begins now in the name of Jesus.
It is disheartening to discover that some of God’s children spend all the days of their lives serving sickness, trouble, servicing one thing or the other from the pit of hell which have kept them in perpetual frustration.
There are things you must remember in this life that will propel you and encourage you to serve God. The children of Israel remembered that it was not their strength nor their power that brought them out from the house of bondage rather it was God’s mercy when the king of Egypt refuses them from going. God stepped in to kill the first born of Egypt just to make sure that Israel departed from the house of bondage.
Remember this, many are not privileged to sleep and wake up sound and hearty the way you do. They will never be privileged to see this life again, so that should be one of the reasons we should serve the Lord. God is the keeper of life, he never slumbers nor sleeps. (psalms 121;4)
MEDITATION:
The word of God in me is my preservation for the last day.
PRAYER:
- Oh Lord, let not the kingdom of darkness locate me and my household in Jesus name.
- I shall not miss my purpose in the kingdom of God in the name of Jesus.
FOR EXTRA DOSE, DWELL ON Numbers 16:7
