SERVANTHOOD

In life it doesn’t really matter how long you live. What matters is how you live. IT’S NOT THE DURATION OF YOUR LIFE THAT MATTERS. IT’S THE DONATION OF YOUR LIFE.

Not every Christian is a pastor. But every Christian is a minister. You were called to serve God and that is called your ministry. Any time you use your gifts, your talents, your abilities to help somebody else in the name of Jesus that’s your ministry.

You don’t find your self-esteem through STATUS. Because you’re always going to find somebody who’s a little bit higher on the pole than you are. You don’t find your self-esteem in your SALARY because you can always find somebody making a little bit more money than you are. You don’t find your self-esteem in SUCCESS because you can always find somebody who’s achieved a little bit more than you have. You don’t even find your self-esteem through SEX. THE BIBLE SAYS YOU FIND IT IN SERVICE, IN SERVING. Jesus said it like this, Loose your life to find it. You give your life away and that’s where you find meaning and significance. It’s in serving we find our significance. The greatest thrill of all in life is being used by God. God wants you to serve Him like Jesus did, with the attitude of Christ.

WE GET SO BUSY TAKING CARE OF THINGS WE DON’T HAVE TIME TO TAKE CARE OF PEOPLE. You’ve got to decide in life, are you going to live for greed? or are you going to live for God? You can’t do both.

What you do in eternity is determined by how faithful you were in serving Him after you were saved by the grace of God. The Bible says this in MATTHEW 25:21 (NIV) “WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT. YOU’VE BEEN FAITHFUL WITH A FEW THINGS SO I WILL PUT YOU IN CHARGE OF MANY THINGS. COME AND SHARE YOUR MASTER’S HAPPINESS.”

IS GOD GOING TO BE ABLE TO SAY THAT ABOUT YOU ONE DAY?

The Power of Words

The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences. Proverbs 18:21‭ NLT The tongue is a powerful tool. It can be used to build up or tear down, to encourage or discourage, to heal or harm. The Bible says that the tongue "can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences" (Proverbs 18:21). Our words have the power to affect others in a profound way. They can make someone feel loved and appreciated, or they can make them feel hurt and rejected. They can build someone up or tear them down. They can be used to spread gossip and lies, or they can be used to speak truth and love. The way we use our words is a reflection of our character. If we are quick to speak harsh words, it shows that we are not kind or compassionate. If we are constantly gossiping and spreading rumors, it shows that we are untrustworthy and manipulative. But if we are careful about what we say and use our words to build up others, it shows that we

The Power of Prayer

  Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. 2 Chronicles‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭NLT‬‬ 2 Chronicles 7:14 is a powerful verse that contains God's promise to restore His people and their land if they will humble themselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from their wicked ways. This promise was originally given to the nation of Israel, but it has relevance for believers today. Humility Humility is the first step towards true repentance and spiritual growth.

Prayer is also a powerful way to intercede for others and
