*THE COVENANT OF SERVICE*


*By pastor E O Gabriel  15 August 2024:Share*


SCRIPTURE: 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. *Exodus 23:25*


●The Book of Isaiah chapter Forty-Three Verse Twenty-One makes it clear that God created us for Himself. This means, we are duty-bound to be dedicated to Him. 


Matthew 4:10 says,


●Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.


●This means, two major proofs of dedication to God are:  Worship and Service. A dedicated person is known by his worship of and service to God. So, a life that is not lived in worship and service to God is a life wasted for time and eternity. 


●Now, it is important to know that service in the Kingdom is not just an action but a covenant. Serving God is not just an activity. Service in the Kingdom of God is a covenant walk. This means, when a man fulfils the duty of service, God responds to that action in manifestation. 


*To put this in another way, where man is duty-bound to serve his Creator, the Creator is duty-bound to respond to that service with the blessing. You don’t need to beg God to bless you when you serve Him.*


●My counsel is, understand that service is a covenant and make up your mind to serve God wholeheartedly.


*KEY WORD: You don’t need to beg God to bless you when you serve Him.*


●Living in His service is living to serve Him; it is a secret of preservation. 


1. Go through today’s study again and understand that service is a covenant walk with God.


2. In the light of this revelation, make up your mind to be brutally dedicated to God in order to reap the rewards of service.


● What are you living for? Into what direction are you channelling your life’s time, energy and resources? It determines your outcome in eternity. 


PRAYER: Thank You Lord for the revelation of Your Word to me. I ask for the grace to be dedicated to You in Kingdom service, Lord, in Jesus Christ Name.

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                           *MAINTAIN GOODWILL AND KIND-HEARTEDNESS* *By Pastor E O Gabriel  11 August 2024:Share* SCRIPTURE: But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. *Luke 10:33-34* *The Scripture has made it clear that God is Love (1John 4:8). And in the beginning, God created the earth. It means, in the beginning, Love created the earth. So, the earth was created by Love and it is meant to be operated by love.* •Unfortunately, we live in a generation where many people are bankrupt of love.  •It is important, therefore, to understand the major principles of love, that is, what love is all about.  •N...

And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, Patient - *2 Timothy 2:23-24* *Following Peace with all men is Non Negotiable in our walk with God.* *We must deliberately avoid controversies, godless arguments and strife.* *Strife opens the door to all kinds of evil and is the root cause of divisions and broken relationships.* *In Genesis 13:7,* the Bible says there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the herdsmen of Lot's cattle.  This later led to division between Abram and Lot, though they were family.  Because of strife, they went their s...
