TEXT: 2 Sam. 24: 20 -25
Happy Glorious Sunday to you, and as world mark the mother's day today, the Lord shall do you good in Jesus name.
And from where we paused yesterday, you will notice king David's decision (2 Samuel 24:24).
"And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver." Beloved, King David bought the threshing floor for 50 shekels from Araunah. But what would you have done?
Would you let this be your own resolution too, that l will never offer any burnt offerings unto the LORD my God which do cost me nothing? You see, a lot of folks are handling their assignments in church with levity.
They do the work of God deceitfully, half-heartedly, grudgingly and with sorrow in their hearts. But how do you think this kind of offering will be a acceptable to God?
A lot don't even bother any longer, they do the work of God the way they can not do their secular work. Some do it with l don't care attitude, after all no one is paying me for it that's what they say in their hearts. But, you happen to be an ingrate if you maintain such thought, because you never paid a dime for Christ to die for you on the cross, despising the shame. You have forgotten so soon that it was with His precious blood that He paid for your sin that you are now an heir with Christ and now called the redeemed of the Lord (Rom. 8:1).
Think of your lukewarmness, is this how you will pay Him back?
By always looking for an excuse, convenient and easy work/assignment to do in the house of God, or you even decide to warm the bench and simply do nothing but criticise and complain.
You are offering a sacrifice that cost you nothing to God. God is not happy with this kind of attitude of yours, turn to God in full repentance of heart today and a heart to serve your Master and Saviour faithfully. Remember that you were saved by Christ Jesus in order to serve Him. Otherwise, immediately you surrendered your life to Him at salvation, He would have taken you to heaven. But, you are still here because you are a steward and you must serve your Master faithfully.
For it is required of every steward to be faithful. Check yourself in the mirror of God's word, if you are really faithful in work of service to the One who saved you, and humanity.
Whatever it will cost you to serve God faithfully, be willing to give it all your very best because God deserve the best from you.
Personal Confession:Oh Lord my Father, help me with to serve you faithfully with all my life in Jesus name.
Read, Reflect and Rebroadcast to bless someone. God will bless you in return.
