Text: Matthew 25:32-46
Memory Verse: “Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world’” (Matthew 25:34).
God created man for His service. Our service to God is also reflected in our service to humanity. Only a few people realise that all we have been blessed with has been given to us to use and bless others. In Isaiah 61:1-4we read about the prophecy of Jesus Christ as Saviour, Healer and Deliverer, but a closer look shows that Jesus, having saved, healed and delivered us, expects us to go out there and do the same (Isaiah 61:4).
The sound health you enjoy is to give you an opportunity to move around and tell people about Jesus Christ, the Saviour. Your wealth and riches are to take care of yourself and the poor (Matthew 19:21), and your vehicle(s) should serve as tools for evangelism.
If you want to be like Christ, you must also share His mind, passion and will, which is service to mankind. You will discover that those who love and relate well with people leave a good legacy. Your preoccupation with the search for
money and fame are unnecessary. If you care for others, God will provide you with the things you need. How are you using your possessions? Remember you are saved to serve; you are blessed to bless others. You are a steward of the good things you have received and you will ultimately give account of how you used them. Do not delay in responding to the thoughts of the good things God puts in your mind!
Prayer Points:
1. Father, thank You for Your blessings upon me.
2. Father, forgive my ignorance in not using my possessions rightly.
