Topic: Servants Must Serve Well
Text: Colossians 3:22-25
22Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God:
23And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
24Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
25But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.
Key Verse: “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily as unto the Lord, and not unto men” (Colossians 3:23)
Message
A servant is a steward. The Greek word for a steward is oikonomos, meaning the manager of a household. As managers of the household of faith, in whatever capacity we may find ourselves, we are called to serve God and man willingly, excitedly, lovingly and loyally. As a genuinely converted youth, serving God in the school fellowship, home fellowship, choir, rescue team, and as school visitors, or students’ instructors, we should do the work with committed to our care faithfully with grace and humility.

We can also serve by giving food to the hungry, water to the thirsty, clothes to the naked, and visiting the sick and broken hearted. We can also serve in the secret place of intercessory prayer. We must endeavour to serve well and do it heartily for God’s glory. For a youth to serve God and man acceptably and be blessed by God, such must be born again and free from hypocritical service. We should be forthright like Abraham, meek like Moses, courageous like Joshua and do all things to the glory of God.
Quote: We must endeavour to serve well
Challenge: Be faithful in whatever you do!
Prayer for today: Oh Lord, help me to serve you according to your will.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
