Why Serve God? by Keith Cook
News Event: On The Go Ministries is Partnering this week with the Luis Palau Association in New York with NYCityfest. On Friday, Luis Palau and Ministry Partners will be ministering at New York's Time Square and Saturday at Central Park. God is doing a Great and Mighty Work in America. We are also partnering with LifeFest in Oshkosh, Wisconsin on Saturday. Praise God for the opportunities to share the Good News of Jesus Christ through Service Opportunities, Power Teams, Music, One on One Evangelism, the Gospel Message, and more!
"Do you not say there are yet four months and then comes harvest? Behold I say to you, Lift Up Your Eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest." John 4:35
There are several reasons people serve God.
1. For Fame - They want to make a name for themselves. They want to help the poor "heathen people."
2. For Fun - They think that mission trips, ministry, and service to others take them to exciting places. They want to have fun and meet other people.
3. For Adventure or Fantasy - They want to have a great experience with the culture or blaze a trail that no one has ever been on.
4. For Family - Their parents or spouse want them to minister and they agree to do ministry to save face or go along with the family on a project.
5. For Escape - They have nothing better to do and it will get them away from school or job for a while.
6. For Peers - Everyone else is going and they do not want to be left out.
7. For God - They are called by God and want to make a difference for Christ. They have lifted their eyes and looked on the fields that are ready for harvest.
Which one of the above represents you?
We serve God because...
He died for us.
He asked us to go for Him.
He loves the lost and so do we.
He will be with us as we go.
He will use us if we are "on the go" for Him!
Why serve God? Because He served us!
After taking thousands of people all over the world and all over the United States to do ministry I have experienced all of the above reasons why people want to go for God. When I find someone who really wants to go for God and they give all they have for Him I usually have made a co-worker for life.
Is God calling you to Go for Him?
Are you willing to listen and do what He says?
Daily Prayer Focus: Pray that God will purify every wrong motivation that you may have for serving Him.
On The Go Prayer Focus: Pray for Divine Appointments at NYCityfest and LifeFest as the Gospel of Jesus Christ is clearly presented. Praise God for each ministry partner, volunteer and counselor who are ministering at the events. Praise God for the opportunity to share Christ in America.
