- If we cannot serve God in the situation we are in right now, what makes us think we can do better in a different or higher location or position?
- The human tendency is to avoid the mundane and graduate to the spectacular, but that is not God's way. Godly character exemplified in the fruit of the Spirit can be seen in both small and large tasks.
- The best way to find out how to serve God effectively is to start serving where we are.
- Some people claim they are made to do "great things" for God. But until those "great things" start happening, they do nothing. They are unwilling to do anything "below"their calling. However that is not God's way, He wants us to start serving faithfully exactly where we are.
- Throughout the Bible, God gives to the people promises of the great things He wants to do through them, but seldom are these promises fulfilled immediately. There are often aspects of their character or personalities that has to be worked out before they are ready to handle the ministry opportunity God has for them.
- Take the first step in knowing God's will - be an available servant.
- God wants to start training us for the future, now.
- If we are faithful in the little things God gives to us now, the Bible also says that we will also be faithful in much.
- Matthew 25:29
- Prove to God by serving Him with what you have now and He will entrust you with more.
- We must also be faithful in the little things in life, like the handling of material possessions. We should be upright in our dealings, and honest in our approach. Only once is this done that we can be entrusted with spiritual responsibilities as well.
- Help to serve in the vision and calling of another, and God will give you your own, not as a reward, but because you have learnt to put others above yourself.
- God will fulfill His promises to us in His own time, what we should do is be faithful and patient.
