Serve Him in sincerity and in truth...!

Joshua 24:14-22, 24 NKJV

“Now therefore, fear the Lord , serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the Lord ! And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord , choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord .” So the people answered and said: “Far be it from us that we should forsake the Lord to serve other gods; for the Lord our God is He who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, who did those great signs in our sight, and preserved us in all the way that we went and among all the people through whom we passed. And the Lord drove out from before us all the people, including the Amorites who dwelt in the land. We also will serve the Lord , for He is our God.” But Joshua said to the people, “You cannot serve the Lord , for He is a holy God. He is  a jealous God; He will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins. If you forsake the Lord and serve foreign gods, then He will turn and do you harm and consume you, after He has done you good.” And the people said to Joshua, “No, but we will serve the Lord !” So Joshua said to the people, “You are witnesses against yourselves that you have chosen the Lord for yourselves, to serve Him.” And they said, “ We  are witnesses!” And the people said to Joshua, “The Lord our God we will serve, and His voice we will obey!”

Shalom! Day #134. Do you know that, once you have pledged to God, to serve Him, obey Him and fear Him, it means it's a lifetime covenant and no turning back from it? Let's pray. Father, thank You once again for You have chosen us to witness Your marvelous works to the this perishing world. Lord we pray that we will serve You till the end of age and beyond. In Jesus name we ask and pray, Amen!

Serve the Lord in sincerity and in truth. Once you have made up your mind to serve the Lord, never turn back from the calling,  it can be either as a fulltime worker or as a servants. You must always remember this, we are all fulltime workers for the Lord, whether we have a working profession or not, your job is actually considered as part-time,  but being a believer and doing the works of God is considered as fulltime for God. You don't need to be a part of any organization to start doing the works of God, you can just start whenever and wherever the Lord has placed you. Be it at your school, university,  colleges or even at your work place, you can be the witnesses of the Lord.

Remain faithful to your call and never ever turn to so called "gods" false teachig, false gods and serve them or else,  the judgement of God is upon you. Just as Joshua declared, "But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord ." For generation to generations to come, we must remain faithful and serve the Lord.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
