FAITH CAPSULE: Are you serving God in your way or in His ordered way to serve Him?

Exodus 3, Colossians 3:1:17

Are you seeking God in your way?
Seeking God is serving God.
Are you an acclaimed believer of God but serving God with a lack of understanding?
Serving God demands seeking God and setting your mind on things where God is above.
When an acclaimed believer lacks understanding, such shall be limited to experiencing the power of God in life.
Are you a believer of God living life by the word of God or one living life as if one living time of the Egypt of Pharaoh, not living according to the word of God?
As an acclaimed believer, there should be evidence of living outside of Egypt during the time of Pharaoh. 
God wanted the Israelites out of Egypt of Pharaoh when He spoke to Moses, “When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.” (Exodus 3:12) 
God also sent Moses to Pharaoh, “Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘thus says the Lord: “Israel is My son, My firstborn. So, I say to you, let My son go that he may serve Me…” (Exodus 4:22-23)
God is jealous that He wants nothing but for all to be free and serve Him.
What does it mean to serve God? 
To serve God demands all seek Him diligently and set their mind on things where God is above.
The book of Colossians 3:1-2 clearly states, “If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.”
Seeking God will come with the challenges of this world.
Among the reasons not to seek God diligently are:
-One that is yet to be dead in their trespasses will not rise to serve God.
-Inability to put off the body of the sins of the flesh.
-Setting the mind on worldly things more than things above will not serve God diligently.
There is no excuse to take the mind off the things of God, to avoid missing the presence of God.
Are you willing to serve God indeed and in truth?
Have you separated yourself from worldly things you once walked with as a way of life? 
The word requires all to put to death members on the earth, such as fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 
The members on earth will bring the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience. (Colossians 3:6-7)
Word also points directly for all to put off: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of our mouth, do not lie to one another. (Colossians 3:8-10)
Be renewed in knowledge according to the word of God. 
Serve God diligently to experience the power of God.

Prayer for today: Ask God to enable you to serve Him, and seek Him diligently.
