Degree of Our Serving


Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) (Gal 1:1)


If we live for ourselves we will be disillusioned and people around us will be affected negatively. If we live for people, we will be disappointed because expectations will never be met (Psa 62:5). But if we live for the Lord the reward is lasting (John 15:17). Our calling is of the highest authority of Heaven; don’t degrade that which has been bestowed from above. We are not of men, that we please men. We are not by men to serve any finite purpose. Our life is by Christ where there is a powerful manifestation of the resurrected life; beyond the natural is a life that is farther along in space, time or degree. It is always above and ahead (Duet 28:13).


And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. (Col 3:23-24)


The intrinsic core of our service is love for the Higher which does not have any bounds whose language can be seen by the blind and heard by the deaf. A servitude heart that is not calculative and executed in deep confidence. A servant that has so learned Christ (Eph 4:20) unto meekness and humility (Matt 11:29). It is no longer seeing the insurmountability nor smallness of the task, but am unflinching focus that looks at the Highest where no carnal mind can grasp (Psa 123:2).
