What Is Your Objective?

What Is Your Objective? Take a moment and ask yourself, what is my objective? Why am I up on this phone at 5 in the morning? Why do I call in for the ministry calls on Sunday & Wednesday nights? Am I calling in because I want to serve or am I calling in to be served? Is my work with this ministry, or another ministry, or my job unto man or unto God? The bible says in Colossians 3:23-24 KJV And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. So again I say ask yourself, what is my objective? Am I growing in the knowledge of Christ for myself or do I hunger after the word so that I might serve it to the masses? When I sit at the table is it after I have been of service or is it only to be in position to fill my plate? The question again is what is your objective? The bible says in Matthew 20:26-28 NIV Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” If Jesus, Almighty God in the flesh, came to serve, should service not be the objective of all who call on Him? Should service not be the objective of all who profess His name? Should service not be the objective of every man, woman, boy, and girl who says "I am a Christian"? For, to be a Christian is to be Christ like. Jesus's life is the blueprint of what it means to serve. So, what is your objective? I hope you ate well. C. Brooks for Sunday Morning Breakfast~2/7/13
