Preparing for the return of Jesus the Bridegroom KingRENDERING ACCEPTABLE SERVICE(II)
3. Serve Joyfully
Service require strength and the scripture says the joy of the Lord is our strength. If you must serve at all, you must do it joyfully. If you murmur while serving your profit is automatically cancelled. If you serve without joy, you will be punished. The scripture says, "Because thou servest not... with joyfulness, therefore shall thou serve thine enemies..."
The yoke of Jesus is easy, his burden is light. Even if you suffer in the pathway of service dont lose your joy.
Psalm 100:2a
Serve the Lord with gladness come before his presence with singing.
Service is a privilege. That you are a partaker should gladden your heart. The disciples even after being beaten left the presence of the council rejoicing.
4. Serve willingly.
Service rendered because of external presure is not acceptable. if you are forced to serve God, you have no reward.
I Chronicles 28:3
And thou Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind...
A willing mind is God's prerequisite in service. Service willingly offered, provokes heaven and forces the host thereof to fight your battle. The scripture says, the Lord avenged Israel, when the people willingly offered themselves" (Judges 5:2)
