Beloved, Please be very honest with yourself. What is your driving force for service to God? Is it convenience or conviction? Can God truly depend on you to serve Him whether it is convenient or not? Beloved, some people serve God only when it is convenient. In other words, they say to themselves; now that I have a spouse, child, or dream job, I can now serve God. On the other hand, once it is no longer convenient, I stop serving God. When everything is working well and on target, I will serve God. I will serve God when the going is good. I will serve God as long as the testimonies keep rolling in. I call such people fair-weather Christians. There is another group of fair weather Christians who serve God just to solve a challenge in their lives. When praying for a life-partner, a job, a child or a business breakthrough. God does not want fair-weather Christians you are either for Him or against Him; You either serve God totally and unreservedly or you forget it. Lean from David; he got an offer to sacrifice to God but he looked at the offer and said, “I will not offer to God that which will cost me nothing”. Beloved, your service to God must go beyond convenience; or else it is not acceptable. If you truly love Jesus, then show it. Show it in your service to Him. Show it in evangelism. Many times we pay lip serve to loving God; we claim to love God but we do not show His love to those around us. You cannot say you love God, if you do not show His love to your world. I encourage you to take a moment and think about the question today: how much do you love God? How much are you willing to sacrifice just to show you love Him? If there are areas that indict you, make amends today and love Him totally and completely. Let God depend on you in season and out of season. As you do that, He will certainly come through for you. I bless you. Bishop Mike Okonkwo Spread the Word, Share, Invite a Friend!! TREM Official fb page: facebook/treminternational
