FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> Serving God demands seeking God and setting mind on things where God is above.<\/p>\n

Colossians 3<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In life, the lack of understanding to be serving God is limiting the manifestation God\u2019s power among the majority of acclaimed Christian.
\nAs an acclaimed Christian, there should be an evidence of living out of Egypt of today. God wanted the Israelites out of Egypt when He spoke to Moses, \u201cWhen you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.\u201d (Exodus 3:12)<\/em><\/strong> God also sent Moses to Pharaoh stating, \u201c\u00a0<\/sup>Then you shall say to Pharaoh, \u2018thus says the <\/em><\/strong>Lord<\/em><\/strong>: \u201cIsrael is My son, My firstborn. <\/em><\/strong>\u00a0So I say to you, let My son go that he may serve Me\u2026\u201d (Exodus 4:22-23)
\n<\/em><\/strong>God is a jealous that wants nothing from us but to free and serve Him.
\nWhat does it means to serve God?
\nServing God demands no carnality that is evidence among today of acclaimed Christians.
\nTo serve God demands from believers to seek God and set mind on things where God is above.
\nThe book of Colossians 3:1-2<\/em><\/strong> clearly stated, \u201cIf then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.\u201d
\n<\/em><\/strong>To be an acclaimed Christian that seeks and set on things above are what makes a true server of God. In truthful God, when serving God is indeed, power of God becomes evidence in the server of God.
\nThe challenges that reduce acclaimed Christian are:
\n-Majority acclaimed Christians are yet to be dead in their trespasses which deny rising with Christ.
\n-Majority acclaimed Christians are struggling to put off the body of the sins of the flesh.
\n-Majority acclaimed Christians have set mind on so much of the earth things more than things above.
\nThe word makes it clear that if we serve God by seeking and setting mind on above things we shall be a candidate not to miss to appear with Him in glory.
\nAre you willing to serve God indeed and in truth?
\nHave you separated yourself from what you once walked when you lived in them on the earth?
\nThe word requires us to put to death our members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. The members on earth will bring the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience which we have once walked. (Colossians 3:6-7)
\nWord also pointed directly to us what we should put off: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of our mouth,\u00a0<\/sup>do not lie to one another. (Colossians 3:8-10)
\nAs a serving Christian, put off the old man with his deeds and put on the new man<\/em> who is renewed in knowledge according to the word of God.
\nBe a serving God Christians to experience the power of God.<\/p>\n
