My Dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, I greet and bless you all in the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May the name of the Lord be glorified. On this day July 11th, it is a great pleasure to meet you through this auspicious message. Take with me from the book of Joshua 24: 15, “But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord. ”
My Dear Brothers and Sisters, Usually people will say Don’t keep one foot in the river and another foot in the gutter water. ” Why they say this is because, if you keep one foot in the river and another foot in the gutter, then you will not do anything well. You will fall and destroy yourself. That is why they say this.The Bible itself says, You cannot serve two masters, both the mammon and God. There are such verses in the Bible. That is why this verse says, “But as for me and my family, that means, I and my family, we will all serve the Lord together. He does not say, we will serve God, But we will serve God alone.
Today the Lord looks at you and says, if you serve the Lord, if you worship the Lord, then God will be well pleased with you. He will rejoice in you and be glad in heart. This is the only thing that pleases the Lord. The only thing that pleases the Lord, is to serve the Lord and to worship the Lord. Joshua served the Lord. He worked for the glory of God by sitting in the tabernacle of the Lord. He did all that the Lord told him to do. The Bible says, He sat at the door of the tabernacle and never went away from that place. That means, he never left the Lord, nor was he reluctant to do the service for the Lord. Nor did he leave the courtyard of the temple of God. He was very happy to serve the lord at any cost. That’s why he was able to say, “But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord. ”Some of you are saying well “ I am ready to serve the Lord but my children are not ready to serve God.
That day we see in the Bible, a centurion had built a temple for the Lord. Later, when he came for help to the Lord then the elders who had gathered there told Jesus that he is worthy of showing favor to him since earlier the centurion had built a temple for the Lord. So since this man had done some service to the Lord his work was recognized and the Lord showed favor to him by healing his servant. So if you get down and do something for the Lord then surely God will show favor to you. You can serve the Lord in many ways. If you do some help to the poor, If you give tracts then you serve the Lord. If you tell others what good the Lord has done for you, in your life, then it is serving the Lord. So try to lift up the Lord high in your life. Then the Lord will hold you up.
PRAYER: Dear Lord we thank you, Lord Joshua said, “But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord. ” In the same way all those who are watching this program, In season or out of season if you do something for the Lord, Do that which pleases the Lord. Help a few people. Consider the children, help a few widows. Lord show favor to the Lord. As a result, just as you established Joshua in the land of Canaan. And made him eat the goodness of that land, Lord helped them to win all the battles that confronted them, as Joshua won several battles in his life and became victorious. May they win over the lust of the flesh, sin and Satan, and be victorious in their life. Help all the failures of the children to become a blessing.
In Jesus Name We pray.
Amen.
