Our service in this life determines our position in the next life!
Do not be counted as a lazy and unprofitable servant. Each of us is called to serve others in some capacity. Our service is according to our individual ability and FATHER will not expect you to serve greater than you are able.
Moses wrote by The Holy Spirit in Deuteronomy chapter 8:
1 “Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers.
2 And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.
3 So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every Word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD.
4 Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. 5 You should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.
6 “Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.”
Moses was called to serve the entire nation of Israel but first he had to be humbled and have his ego removed. Forty years is a long time.
When you give up your self-centeredness by serving others, you become qualified for greater service. Along with this service, you will be blessed accordingly.
7 For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills;
8 a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey;
9 a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper. 10 When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which He has given you.
Blessing begins with humbling ourselves. The way up is the way down and becoming a servant is the key.
Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 5:
5 God blesses those who are humble, for they will inherit the whole earth.
And King David recorded by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 37:
11 But the humble of heart will inherit every promise and enjoy abundant peace.
And it is also written by THE SPIRIT in Psalm chapter 149:
4 For the LORD delights in his people; He crowns the humble with victory.
And Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 23:
11 The greatest among you must be a servant.
12 But those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.
As referred to in a previous writing of the parable of the ten servants, those who actively served were rewarded by giving them authority over several cities. The one who was judged only received one talent. Had he done something with his talent, he too would have received a reward rather than judgment. We must not allow ourselves to underestimate our value to the Kingdom, no matter how small. At least do something with your talent by serving in some capacity, no matter how small.
