YOUR SERVICE, YOUR WORSHIP

"Faithful servants never retire. You can retire from your career, but you will never retire from serving God." - Rick Warren 

Service

To fully grasp the meaning of Rick Warren's statement above, you'll need to change your goggles. William Arthur Ward once said, "The more generous we are, the more joyous we become. The more cooperative we are, the more valuable we become. The more enthusiastic we are, the more productive we become. The more serving we are, the more prosperous we become." There is a wrong notion about service, and how or why it is done today.

Prosperity, or success as defined by the world is very different from How God, our creator, sees it. Prosperity and success to Him, is growing in what He's assigned you, and using what He's given you to glorify Him. We do not have to wait to become a worship leader in the choir to worship God. We can do so everyday, all day, every time we go to work, school, or even the market.

THE GIFT OF A DAY (27); BREAK FREE

"Adversity causes some men to break; others to break records." - William Arthur Ward

Every man is an accumulation of experiences; pleasant, or unpleasant. We often witness in life the good, the bad and the ugly situations. Sometimes, more often than not we allow our minds to be set, and we refuse to change. Some, unaware that change is possible, while many others are unaware of the existence of something called change. For the most part some of us have believed the lie that "what you don't know won't kill you", when in actual fact its like this "what you don't know will kill you quickly". In the law court they say that ignorance is not an excuse. Just like a child will be burnt badly even though it doesn't know fire burns.

As a man was walking past the elephants at a circus, he was amazed at what he saw. He was confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held only by a small rope tied to their foot. No chains, no cages. These elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds if they wanted, but for some reason, they did not. Confused and puzzled he hailed the trainer nearby and asked why the elephants just stood there and made no attempt to get away.
