MFM Daily Devotional 29 August 2023 MESSAGE
Yesterday, we examined two hallmarks of true servants of God and closed with the admonition that you examine yourself and see if you are one. Today, we shall look at more of those distinguishing characteristics of true servants of God.
The third hallmark is that true servants of God do their best with what they have, wherever they are. They do not wait for perfect timing, perfect tools or situations before they serve God. They use what they have per time and trust the Lord to bless their effort, and He always does. Colossians 3:23-24 underscores this point, “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward.
READ MFM Daily Devotional 28 August 2023 – Hallmarks of Faithful Servants of God
You are serving the Lord Christ.” Also, true servants of God are faithful to their ministry. They are responsible, trustworthy and dependable. They demonstrate good attitude towards work. They fulfil their responsibilities, keep their promises and complete their commitments. They do not quit when they get discouraged. It is disheartening that faithful servants that God can truly count on are rare to find today. Men and women who are truly faithful servants of God do not retire from active service to God.
They commit themselves to life-long service. If you are true and faithful in your service to the Lord, He will say to you, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord” (Matthew 25:21).
In addition, faithful servants of God inspire others to be faithful by their exemplary lifestyle of devotion to God’s service and sacrificial living. More so, faithful servants are unquestioningly, promptly and completely obedient to God’s commandments. They are also Christ-like and consistent in character. Humility, self-sacrifice and genuine love are their hallmarks. I pray that the Lord will make you His faithful servant to the end, in the name of Jesus.
Beloved, pray this prayer: Father, give me the heart of a servant, tender and faithful and true. Fill me with love, then use me, O Lord, so that the world can see You, in the name of Jesus.
