IT IS A PRIVILEGE

November 30, 2014

It is a privilege for your boss at work to give you a ride home if you do not have a car yet. You would agree with me that it is not your right at all. It is also a very great privilege if your employer gives you transport allowance, some employers don’t. There are some things that we as believers should cherish greatly because, they are not our rights but privileges. One of such things is serving God. Many people find it hard to make themselves available for the use of God, not knowing that it is a privilege to be used of God.

Our major duty as believers is to worship and worship and worship God. Remember when Moses went to seek the release of the children of Israel, the mandate was, “Let my people go, that they may worship Me.” In Luke 19, when Jesus was entering Jerusalem, multitudes began to praise and worship Jesus. This got the Pharisees angry, they said, “Master, rebuke your disciples.” Immediately, Jesus said, “I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.”

Excuse me sir, that you are the only one always around to arrange the chairs before the service is a privilege. God can raise up stones to do that. Ma, stop complaining you are the only one washing the toilet in the church, if you resign today, God can raise up stones to wash that same toilet. And if you feel when you are not around, it won’t be done, you are so wrong, God can raise up stones to lead praise, play the instruments, pray and even preach. An invitation to service in the house of God is an invitation to promotion.

Exo 23:25-26 says, “And ye shall serve the LORD your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.” In case you don’t have anything doing for God yet, it is high time you woke up and get connected.

You are blessed in Jesus Name. Amen!
