If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.” – Job 36:11
As we all know:
• Abraham was not a preacher, but was called God’s servant – Ps 105:42
• Daniel was a politician but was God’s servant – Dan 6:20
• Job was the greatest businessman in his days but God called him ‘My servant’ – Job 1:8
• David was king of Israel but god’s servant – Ps 89:20-24
• Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were public servants and at the same time servants of the most high God. – Dan 3:26
Servant-hood is all about a commitment to serving the interests of another.
• Therefore, a servant of God is someone who is all out to serve God and the interest of His kingdom on earth.• However, serving God is not a gift neither is it a calling, it is purely CHOICE – Josh 24:15
• As Jesus once said; ‘why are you looking for me, don’t you know I must be about my father’s business?’ Lk 2:49
• Serving God is real business and a big time business for that matter!
How is serving God a big time Business?
This is because, its returns are unmatchable and these include the following among others:When we serve God (Ex 23:25 -26)
• He blesses our bread and our water
• He takes sickness away from the midst of us
• He stops every form of miscarriage
• He turns barrenness into fruitfulness
• He satisfies us with long life
This is the reason behind the unmatchable rewards that accrue to every soul winner. Jn 4:36
Some soul winning ‘wages’ include:
• Guaranteed answers to prayer – Jn 15:16• Divine favour – Ps 102:13-15, which includes the following among others: Miracle marriage, miracle babies Ps 127:3 and supernatural breakthrough Ps 44: 1-3.
• Divine Health – Pro 13:17
• Divine protection Lk 10:19
• Divine wisdom – Dan 12:3
• Supernatural supplies – Lk 22:35
• Signs and wonders – Mk 16: 15-20
You can see from the ‘wages’ listed above that serving God is a big time business indeed. It surely qualifies for any level of investment anybody can make.
