• The bible has been divided into two divisions: obedience to God and service to God.
• For you to be a stable christian,make sure you understand issues of obedience and matters of service to God.
• Serving God is doing things that advance the cause of God’s kingdom.
• Serving God is not something we are born with, it is something you need to work on.
• God will not force you to serve Him, you must make the choice to serve Him.
• Believers who don’t engage in serving God don’t see the full manifestation of the scriptures in their lives.

SOME PLATFORMS ON WHICH TO SERVE GOD
1. SOUL-WINNING AND RETENTION (2 Tim 4:1-2, John 15:7-8, 15-16)

• This is God’s heartbeat.
• Serving on this platform is equal to owning a gold mine.
• When you understand this platform, poverty, lack and want will not be part of your life.
• When you engage in this, you will be one of those that give God pleasure.
• You can’t give God pleasure and also be poor.

2. KINGDOM-ADVANCING PRAYERS (Luke 24:28-32)

• You must be diligent in your service to God (Prov 22:29, Dan 6:16-20, Luke: 2:36-37)
• In most cases, rewards are not at the beginning or middle of the journey but at the end.
• When it comes to serving God, be in it for the long haul.
• Make sure your service is based on revelation.
• God also expects you to serve him delightfully and joyfully (Deut 28:47-48).
• Joy and gladness is a spiritual uniform, it gives you identity before God.

BENEFITS OF KINGDOM SERVICE (Exo 23:25-28)
1. SICKNESS AND DISEASES BECOME A THING OF THE PAST
2. YOU STOP LABOURING IN VAIN
3. SIEGES AND EMBARGOES BECOME BROKEN

PRAYER POINT:
FATHER, BY YOUR MERCY, GIVE ME AN IN-DEPTH UNDERSTANDING OF THE BLESSEDNESS OF KINGDOM SERVICE. HELP ME UP MY GAME IN THIS AREA A THOUSAND TIMES MORE THIS YEAR AND BEYOND.
(JOHN 13:3-5, 15-17)

• Serving God (kingdom service) is everything you get involved in that results in the advancement of God’s kingdom here on the earth.
Job 36:11
• Some believers trivialise kingdom service.
• Kingdom service is not something we are born with but something we need to deliberately get into.

PLATFORMS WHERE GOD EXPECTS US TO DO KINGDOM SERVICE
1. KINGDOM PRAYER PLATFORM
a) Pray for a continuous rain of the revelation of His word from this altar (Luke 24:28-32)
b) God expects you to pray that the word coming from the altar is accompanied by miracles, signs and wonders (Acts 8:29, Prov 20:5)

2. WINNING SOULS AND HAVING THEM RETAINED IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD (2 Tim 4:1-4, John 15:7-8, 15-16)
• Soul winning and retention is a believer’s gold mine.

In your kingdom service:
1. Be diligent (Prov 22:29, Dan 6:16-20, Deut 28:47-48)
2. Do it delightfully (joyfully) (Luke 2:36)

• In your kingdom service to God, make sure you cry out to God that you do it out of revelation.
• When you do kingdom service out of revelation, you don’t need encouragement.

BENEFITS OF KINGDOM SERVICE
Exod 23:25-27
1. God takes away sickness and disease
2. You stop labouring in vain.
3. You enjoy longevity.
4. God will make sure that you always enjoy an upper hand over your enemies.
5. Sieges and embargoes get broken over your life.

PRAYER POINT:
FATHER, BY YOUR MERCY GRANT ME AN IN-DEPTH UNDERSTANDING OF THE BLESSEDNESS OF KINGDOM SERVICE AND HELP ME UP MY GAME IN THIS AREA A THOUSAND TIMES MORE ALL THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR AND BEYOND.
(John 13:3, 16-17)

⭕️Kingdom service happens when we render services to God that end up advancing His causes here on earth.

⭕️Kingdom service is not something that we are born into or born with, it is something we cultivate.

⭕️It is not every service that we render to God that is acceptable.

Mark 7:6, Psalm 149:1-3, 6-7, 103:1

⭕️It is possible to offer services that are not acceptable before God.

⭕️Divine favour is :

1. God liking you
2. Heaven endorsing your name
3. Heaven singling you out for help

⭕️You can’t succeed in life without the arm of divine favour.

⭕️Wherever supernatural favour is, there is everything that is called good.

⭕️If you are a believer and you are lacking divine favour, you are going to struggle in the journey of life.

⭕️Divine favour gives you access and good will.

⭕️Divine favour is a game changer.

CASE STUDIES OF HOW CARDINAL DIVINE FAVOUR IS IN OUR LIVES

1.The Israelites possess the promised land [Psalm 44:1-3]

2.The Jews delivered from destruction planned by Haman [Esther 4:16, 5:1-3]

3.The Israelites plunder the Egyptians [Exodus 12:36]

⭕️Restorations and recoveries are inside divine favour.

⭕️Service you render to God that is acceptable is what provokes divine favour.

⭕️God is a God of standards, everything you bring before Him that is below His standards will not be accepted.

Colossians 3:23

What kind of service does God expect from us?

1.God expects us to give Him wholehearted service [Matthew 22:37]

⭕️God is a jealous God. He does not like sharing glory.

⭕️He doesn’t like half-hearted commitment.

2.God expects us to offer diligent service [Proverbs 22:29, 1 Corinthians 4:1-2, Galatians 6:9, Luke 2:36-38]

⭕️God expects us to do everything we do for Him out of revelation.

⭕️When you do something out of revelation, you don’t get tired.

⭕️God wants us to be diligent in our endeavours because it creates room for process.

⭕️When process has been established, breakthroughs are on the way.

3.Service that is done willingly and joyfully [Isaiah 12:3, Psalm 100:4]

⭕️Joy is the protocol (nature) of the kingdom.

⭕️It doesn’t matter what is happening to you, joy must be in place (in your service).

⭕️When you allow joy to be your portion day after day, you are identifying yourself with heaven.

4.God expects us to render our services sacrificially [Psalm 50:5]

⭕️Sacrifice is food for spirits.

⭕️God is a spirit.

⭕️Sacrifice is the capital price that you pay for greatness.

PRAYER POINT:

FATHER, BY YOUR MERCY, SAVE ME TODAY FROM RENDERING SERVICES THAT ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE BEFORE YOU.
