SERVICE OBJECTIVE: UNDERSTANDING WHAT KINGDOM SERVICE IS ALL ABOUT
BY: DR. PAUL ENENCHE

Most giants in Scripture were referred to as the servants of God. Service to God was a distinguishing identity of their lives.
It is not possible for a person to be truly spiritual and not serve

3. Joshua (Josh. 5:13)
4. David Ps. 78:70; 89:3, 20)
5. Daniel (Dan. 6:16, 20)
6. Paul the Apostle (Rom. 1:1; Tit. 1:1)
7. The Master Jesus (John 9:4)

3. Service is proof of value (Matt. 4:10)
4. Service is proof of affection (love)
   Acts of service is a love language
   You can’t claim to love or value God if you are not interested in serving Him

3. Genuine love and affection for God (Ps. 27:4-5)
   When you genuinely love God, you want to spend and be spent for God

THE PROFIT OF KINGDOM SERVICE:

1. Kingdom service brings completion to life (Gen. 2:8, 18)
   God Himself identifies what is lacking in your life and fills it up
2. Kingdom service attracts the Blessing of God; it attracts supernatural supplies (Ex. 23:25)
3. Kingdom service attracts Divine health and vitality (Ex. 23:25)
4. Kingdom service attracts longevity (Ex. 23:25-26; Deut. 34:5, 7)
   Kingdom service is a prolonger of life
5. Kingdom service brings a dressing of honour and dignity (Prov. 27:18)
   If you serve God well, you can’t escape honour
6. Kingdom service attracts the unction or the anointing of God (Ps. 89:20)
   When you serve God well your head cannot lack the anointing and if the anointing is not lacking the yokes must break
7. Kingdom service is the doorway to a life of distinction (Mal. 3:17-18)

KEYS TO EFFECTIVE SERVICE:

1. Ask God to show you your area of service or assignment (Acts 9:6)
2. Look inwards to identify inherent giftings or potentials that can be used in service (1Sam. 16:17, 23)
3. Look outwards to see needs that compel your attention or involvement
   The need you are created to solve always cries out for you
4. Serve reverently and in the fear of God (Heb. 12:28-29)
   You cannot serve sinfully and achieve any result with God – sin will taint your service and destroy its profit
5. Serve reverently and passionately (Rom. 12:11)
   Don’t drag your feet to do the things of God
6. Serve heartily, not with eye service (Eph. 6:4-6)
   Serve God, not man; struggle to please God not man; work for God not for man, if your service is to be accepted
7. Serve with the mentality of being privileged (Heb. 5:4)
   Never think that you are doing church or the pastor a favour
8. Go the extra mile (Eccl. 9:10)
