Dedicate your life to serving God [October 17,2021]

Daily Word

Dedicate your life to serving God
1Kings 8:61
Let your heart therefore be perfect with the Lord our God, to walk in His statutes, and to keep His commandments, as at this day.

Another translation says

And may your hearts be fully committed (dedicated) to the Lord our God to live by His decrees and obey His commands as at this time.

God detests the “lukewarm,” attitude, you are either fully committed to Him (hot) or against Him (cold).

Revelations 3:15-16
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold or hot: I wished that you were either cold or hot. So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold not hot, I will spit you out of my mouth. (paraphrased)

It is only things you find distasteful or harmful (e.g. hot water, salty water or food etc) that you spit out of your mouth. That is how God detests those who do not serve Him wholeheartedly.

Today, determine in your heart to dedicate your life to serving God. Obey all His commands

1 Peter 4:10
As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God

In the verse above God expects us to be good stewards of the gifts He has placed in us for the edification of the church.

In other words, we are supposed to use our gifts to improve, extend and make worship beneficial to all those involved and to glorify the Lord
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. First of all determine in your heart that you want to serve God faithfully
2. Identify your gift and talent and use it to improve worship in your church, win souls and glorify God.
3. Obey all God’s commands in His word.

Prayer
Father, I adore you, bring my life before thee, use me to the glory of your name. Amen
