WONDERWORLD CAPSULES BY Apostle Jordan Akada

TOPIC: SERVE HIM WITH HONOUR
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not” (Galatians 6:7-9)
You need to serve God and when we serve him with our entire being it means we are honoring God and when we don’t serve him with the whole of our soul, spirit and body it therefore means we are dishonoring Him. Honor beget Honor, what you sow is what you reap (Gal. 6:7)
So if we serve God with the entirety of our being which means honoring God, then God will in turn honor us. We won’t cry looking for the honor of men, “For promotion [cometh] neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south” (Psalm 75:6)
Let people despise you but when you honor God and God in turn decide to honor you, those who use to look down on you will start looking for how to locate you. Remember Elisha and Elijah with the other sons of the prophet. Elisha did not have the revelation but other sons of the prophet had but they couldn’t do anything with their revelation instead they were mocking him. (2 Kings 2:1-14)
While you are serving God don’t listen to the voices of people, because in service what you want to see is what you will see. And you should also know that in life what you see is what you pursue.
Everything in you, that thing that makes you strong and thick, that thing that makes you who you are, it could be your talent, your might, that thing is your strength. It could also be your academic attainment, and that is also your strength, it could be your marital status, your political status etc so what do you do, invest that your strength because that is your might, don’t allow your might or whatever constitute your might to separate you from God through pride because without him we can do nothing.
“As the heart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God” (Psalm 42:1) Get to a point in your life where your heart pant for God even In the mist of every challenges your soul should still be thirsty and, longing to have fellowship with the him. Never see to become another person, maintain your originality in God.
God knows us no matter the number of person’s working in the house of God. He blesses people individually and not congregationally. And he blesses us when we have fulfilled the entire necessary requirement. Observe that before you are given academic certificate you must complete the necessary requirement how much more the creator of the universe. And you know that even in the natural world that they are some lecturer you can’t bribe, you can bribe men but you can’t bribe God.
And to some of us, the things we do in the house of God are like spiritual bribery which does not work. Example staying for months without paying tithe when a particular problem occurs you suddenly ran to God and remember to pay tithe, this is one of the ways people try to bribe God. Be consistence in your service
Most of us have been trying to manipulate God through the things we do, which is a very serious spiritual crime because we are created for His pleasure. the big question now is How many times have we been trying to bribe God when we sense danger or when it appear there’s something we are expecting from Him? Show me someone who have been following God and fulfilling the necessary requirement in time and in season, when anything happens that person will not be thrown off-balance, and will not begin to struggle because he has confidence and assurance in his God
MEDITATION:
The Holy Ghost is at work in me leading me on my way.
PRAYER:
- By the victory that I have in Christ, I overcome every obstacle on my path in the mighty name of Jesus.
- By the power of the Holy Ghost, I come against every misinterpretation of the leading of the Holy Ghost in my life in the mighty name of Jesus
