Good morning,

The word for today is - Service !

 

Its time for us to be more like Him ( Jesus). Lets look at  the "Last Supper," Jesus paused, girded Himself with a towel, took water, and washed His disciples' feet. He told them in John 13:13-16, Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. Jesus was not binding the rite of "foot-washing," rather, He was showing that those who would be His disciples were to have a mind to serve others, with their needs, and do what they could to help them. Now read 1 Peter 4:10-11,As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. We are to serve one another at all times,as servants of the Lord. Read Ephesians 2:10, For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. You see showing is better then tell people anything. Let us read Galatians 5:13-14,For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Serving others is an important matter to the Lord, and it should be also,for us. You see its in the spirit of love that we should help others. Father forgive us for not showing love for one another, forgive us for not helping our brother's and sister's in the time of need. We must learn how to share with others, read James 2:14-17,What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. Wow, read that again. Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
