What Does God Want Me To Do

DEUTERONOMY 10:12nkjv

12 “And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,



YOU MAKE A LIVING BY WHAT YOU GET, BUT YOU’LL MAKE A LIFE BY WHAT YOU GIVE AWAY 



MATTHEW 5:16 NLT

16 In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

 

 

GOOD DEEDS WON'T GET YOU TO HEAVEN BUT THEY WILL POINT PEOPLE TO HEAVEN


1.     WHEN YOU SERVE YOU BECOME MORE LIKE JESUS 


 


MATTHEW 20:28 NLT

28 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

 

2.     SERVING IS HOW YOU BECOME GREAT IN GOD’S KINGDOM 


LUKE 22:24-27 NLT

24 Then they began to argue among themselves about who would be the greatest among them. 25 Jesus told them, “In this world the kings and great men lord it over their people, yet they are called ‘friends of the people.’ 26 But among you it will be different. Those who are the greatest among you should take the lowest rank, and the leader should be like a servant. 27 Who is more important, the one who sits at the table or the one who serves? The one who sits at the table, of course. But not here! For I am among you as one who serves.



3. SERVING IS ABOUT SPIRIT AND ATTITUDE 


4.     SERVING LOOKS DIFFERENT FOR EVERYBODY 

 

 

 

ROMANS 12:6-8 NLT

6 In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. 7 If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. 8 If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly.



5.     SERVING IS REWARDED IN HEAVEN 


MARK 10:29-31 GW

29 Jesus said, “I can guarantee this truth: Anyone who gave up his home, brothers, sisters, mother, father, children, or fields because of me and the Good News 30 will certainly receive a hundred times as much here in this life. They will certainly receive homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields, along with persecutions. But in the world to come they will receive eternal life. 31 But many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.”
