TODAY’S TOPIC: Service to humanity is service to God
Text: John 13:12-17 (NIV Bible)
"13:12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. "Do you understand what I have done for you?" he asked them.
13:13 "You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am.
13:14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet.
13:15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.
13:16 I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.
13:17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
*SHOWER:*
Our Lord Jesus in His character to show the light, decided to wash His disciples feet. At end, He said in verse 15 that it was an example He was using Himself to set before them. The lesson to that service were enormous. He wanted us to know that been a Christian is a call to serve one another and not showmanship as we currently have or see among the new generations Christians, pastors, General Overseers and others. If you can't serve the whole people that appointed you or people you want to know God, how would you want them to identify or believe that your God is in existence. You need to show that by your service, behaviour and life style. It is also a call for humility. People no longer care about service and humility. We all want to be served. Once you get an opportunity, you will like others to see serve you rather to serve those who gave the opportunity. That is why the whole world is messing up. We must retrace our footsteps now!
*PRAYER/DECLARATIONS*
O God, I thank You for showing me the light by Your behaviour and blessings. I'm sorry for always deviating from the faith. Please, help me to return and remain focused in Jesus name, Amen!
*1. By His Grace, I will forever remain focused in services of God so that by doing this I will not only win souls for Him but also become a heaven candidate.*
*2. With God, all that concerns me have been taken care of. I will no longer suffer or struggle for anything because His favour awaits me.*
*3. I hereby decree and declare that I will gain all that my God destined for me today, this month and forever in Jesus name, Amen.*
