Live Worthy

Live Worthy

Eph. 4:1 ¶ As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. - NIV
God has called you for a specific purpose. When you chose to serve God are you not in the position to fulfill that specific purpose he has prepared for you? You were not made without a purpose. You were fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) with a specific purpose. Walk worthy and suitable in the calling you have received. Show your humility in your home, work and social life. Let God be the focus of your life and purpose. It will reflect in your prayer life how you honor God and submit yourself to his will.
It is possible through the Holy Sprit, which God has given to us through Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit teaches you. Now you need to submit to him and not to your sinful desires. Say yes to God and no to sin. This is living worthy of the calling you received. This is a daily action and daily submission.

Servants of Christ

Servants of Christ

 
Phil. 1:1 ¶ Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, ¶ To all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons:
 
Serving Jesus is an honor. Do you see service to the Lord as an honor? Serving Him involves surrender of rights and your will and full devotion to His will. Serving Jesus is willing to do His good and pleasing will.
 
Humbly place yourself under Jesus and let Him be your guide and see how serving Jesus will bring you peace and joy to be a servant of Christ. Serving Christ just as Christ served God is a service that involves humility but will ultimately end in exultation. When you let God's will be done in your life you can see more of His good will and grace in your life. Serve him and be called His servant and see the Lord exulted on the throne.
