Romans 12:1-2 – Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is, His good, pleasing and perfect will.
When we serve, there will be a requirement for fulfilling our service. One of the requirements is a willingness to offer ourselves to God, as an act of worship.
As we serve God, and do what He requires, other people may not be happy with our service to Him. As a result, we may spend more time than necessary trying to please people instead of pleasing God. You are required to please only Him! As you please Him, all others will eventually come in alignment with God.
The scriptures encourage us to consider others by putting them first. This is sacrificial giving when we willingly lay down our desires, and our lives to meet the needs of others.
We are required to give our all to be of service in the Kingdom of God. It is daily taking up our cross and following where God leads. This requires deep trust and confidence in God’s ability to take care of us, as we serve Him and others.
Another requirement for service is to be faithful. A faithful person will grow and expand in the kingdom of God. God is looking for faithfulness in our service to Him and the people He places around us.
Please ponder and meditate on this:
Are you faithful in your service to God?
