WHO ARE YOU, SERVING?

JESUS CHRIST SAID, HE DID NOT COME TO BE SERVED, BUT TO SERVE AND GIVE HIS LIFE FOR THE WORLD:

( WE ARE SAVED TO SERVE ),

Awesome Holy Spirit, You Are Our Only Teacher In Jesus Christ:

According to the Bible, every Son and Daughter of God in Christ Jesus anointing and power has been given at least one spiritual gift to use in service to the body of Christ. “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen” ( 1 Peter 4:10–11;) compare ( Ephesians 4:11–16 ). So, an important step in determining how to best serve in the Living Church is for us to discover what our spiritual gifts are. Of course, we don’t have to know what our gift is before we start getting involved in the Living Church. We often discover our gifts in the process of serving. The spiritual gifts are listed in ( Romans 12:6–8 ) and ( 1 Corinthians 12:4–11, 28 ).

There is a difference between the Body of Christ universal ( 1 Corinthians 12:12–13 ) and the Human built man established Churches, God's sons and daughters are the Church that the Lord God Jesus Christ Himself, chosen, birth and built, and we fellowship for corporate worship where He is, and that's Everywhere and in Everyplace!!! ( Hebrews 10:25 ). But there is no difference in how Christ's spiritual brothers and His sisters ought to use their spiritual gifts because serving God is a twenty-four-hour proposition, not Sunday-only religious business money-making enterprise.

All of God's chosen, Holy Spirit Filled, water baptized in our heavenly Father's Name, which is Jesus, everywhere should be serving God in His Churches and looking for opportunities to serve others outside of the walls of a man or woman religious building ( 2 Corinthians 9:12–13 ). It may be difficult to discover which spiritual gift(s) God has bestowed, but it’s better to serve somewhere than nowhere ( Romans 12:11). Often, the discovery of gifts becomes more clear in the doing—as we serve in various jobs, we learn what we are good at and what we have a heart for ( 1 Chronicle 28:9 ).

There are always more needs than willing workers; this was true in Christ’s day and is still true today ( Matthew 9:37 ). It’s never a problem to find a need in the Church's spiritual family. From evangelizing the community (Which all Christ Believers are called to do,( Acts 1:8 ) It is good to inquire of the Church leadership regarding the needs of the Church who are God's Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, Teachers, Elders, Bishops. Have a conversation with the Lord's biblical leadership and not just one gift or man ministry about what jobs are open and how they may or may not be suited for you.

Here are a few examples of positions of service in local congregations:

Jesus said His spiritual Kingdom family are all those who do the will of His heavenly Father, He did not call the un-godly or sinners His spiritual heavenly family ( Once Born Again Jesus Way )

Jesus said He was, in Matt 25:

( The Sheep and the Goats/ The Religious and The Born Again. )

31 “When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on His right and the goats on His left.

34 “Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited Me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you came to visit Me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and invite You in, or needing clothes and clothe You? 39 When did we see You sick or in prison and go to visit You?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of Mine, you did for Me.’

41 “Then He will say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite Me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe Me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after Me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help You?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for Me.’

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.” Yes, so many are serving religious men built buildings and serving the world, and keeping fat and rich only their fleshly leaderships, and look over the Lord's chosen and ordained Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, and Teachers, with many other ministry gifts.

Every member of every Church Family should be serving in some way, and every servant of the Lord should remember that it’s more than just serving others; it’s loving them: “Serve one another humbly in love” ( Galatians 5:13 ). Serving the Church can take on many forms in serving God's sons and daughters, First: babysitting for a young couple to give them a night out, preparing a meal for a family struck by illness, visiting an elderly, housebound widow, or just picking up a phone and saying, “I was thinking about you today.”

Christians may busy themselves in tasks of service like the ones listed above, but endless performing, without love, is meaningless ( 1 Corinthians 13:1–3 ). As we go about serving God in Christ Jesus and others in His heavenly family First, let us do so with a spirit of humility and brotherly love ( Philippians 2:1–4 ). Amen, God's sons and His daughters,
