Service:

     It is self evident that most Christians go to church to hear the message.

 

     You have an added responsibility.

 

     You are to be a Pillar in The House of The Lord.  You are an Overcomer (Rev 3:12) because you have yielded to Him and made Him your Reason, your Goal and your Purpose.

 

     The Soldier of The Cross is available to serve The King.  It is not about being "fed" at every meeting.  It is about laying down your life for the Brethren.  Of course, you can't stay with heresy absent specific Grace for same.  

 

     At the same time, isn't it about Him?  Isn't it about everyone else?  The unseen powers are always watching His Servants. 

 

     You have crossed The Line.  You told Him He could do anything with your life and that means that in prayer, you're always focused on His agenda. 

     It means that you deal in Love instead of sifting things by sight. 
     It means you are available to preach or teach and equally eager to change diapers in the nursery.
     It means that when you have company you will not bag the service because you have not seen them for twenty years. 
     It means you will take matters to Him before you will take them to anyone else.
     It means you will not swell and spill when asked your opinion.

 

     Oh, Soldier.  Because you have crossed The Line, you have made it clear to Him that you long to be a Living Sacrifice.

 

     Be sure to take in The Word daily.  Be sure to set aside a time to be with Him.  Make sure it is aloud.

 

     His Body.  Prepare in prayer and dive in.
     By prayer.
