serve like a slave

Word for the World – Cabuyao May 6, 2012 By: Bro Joel Alisen

Ministry inside of the church or outside of the church can be exhausting. Serving the Lord may not always an easy thing do to….

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if

we do not give up. Gal 6:9

3 things to remember when we are tired and

about to give up in SERVING the LORD

# 1 Think about your situation in the PAST!

- You are slave to SIN.

- You are a candidate for Distraction- You are subject for Eternal Punishment

# 2 Think about your situation today after accepting Jesus Christ!

-You are now free from the bondage of Sin and consider righteous

-You are now included in His family.

-You have now an Eternal Inheritance

# 3 Think about this: YOU have become SLAVES to GOD…

But now that you have been set free from sin and slaves to God, the benefit you reap leads to holiness, and the result is eternal life. Gal.6 :22

Just as you use to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to ever –increasing wickedness , so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness

Gal.6 :19
