MISSING POINT< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
John 1:35-51
Whatever you have been missing as believer can only be found in serving Him. In your services to God, time has always been what you use as a determinant. You have always and constantly put into consideration how, when, where, or what you can deliver as a service to the Lord. If you will consider today that the time you are using as a guard post is not yours but is given to you by God, you will begin to give it all to Him. Let it be registered in you that serving God is not a convenient engagement but a commitment. If you have not denied yourself, your service to Him is conceited; your service is not recorded in heaven; Jesus will declare later that He did not know you. Have you actually denied yourself for the LordÕs service? It is not only when you see believers around you that you should be acting unselfishly. You know it is not true and it is false humility. Man can be deceived but God will see through the heart and He cannot be deceived. Let it penetrate deep in your heart that in serving Him, you have to follow Him. John 12:26, ÒIf anyone serves Me, let him follow Me: and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honor.Ó To serve the Lord you have to follow Him. Ignorance is not an excuse. Ignorance will only make a destitute out of a believer; it will ridicule your journey if you fail to master what it takes to follow the Master. Ask God for the grace to follow Him.
