THE SECRET OF HOLY KITCHEN SERVICE
ON OUR WAY
I was knocked out by the statement, "God doesn't come to sign our guest book. He comes to make us His own."God wants us to join Him to serve not force Him to accept our plans and schemes. We don't need to impress Him but be available to serve and respond as He leads and directs.
GOING OUT OF OUR WAY
Another thing do we go by the way we feel or when we feel to act out His plans? There are times we have to go out of our way, beyond what is required or expected and even when we don't have the know how to.SERVING IN ALL KINDS OF WAYS
This last one really was an eye opener. We must not limit ourselves to what we like or feel is our gift or position, but we must make ourselves willing to serve wherever it's our field of gifting or expertise. If we do so, we may loose the opportunity to assist someone who may never get help by anyone else.Truly when we show God that we are willing to serve, he will lead us and direct us where he chooses for us to serve!
Summary: On our Way/Gong out of our Way/Serving in all Kinds of Ways
THOUGHTS TO PONDER
- God doesn't come to sign our guest book. He comes to make us his own.
- We need to watch to see where God is working and Join Him
- When we minister on the way, every day becomes an adventure
- Don't respond out of duty but out of compassion
- Don't pick the service that feels comfortable and convenient
- Working from our God-given gifts releases ministry potential in greater measure and helps the various members of the body work harmoniously.
- Practice hospitality, and share with God's people in need
- Always give yourselves freely to the Lord.
- When we surrender ourselves to be used by God, we don't always get to pick the time, the method, or the place of ministry.
- The key is not in our activity, but in our receptivity to God's voice and in our willingness to serve.
A. Self-Evaluation
- Using the list above check off the areas that you see weakness in yourself.
- After doing that write an alternative method/action you will use instead.
B. Share your Testimony in any of the three principles
(Reviewing the sections, please share your experience of fruitful kitchen service)
- On your way
- Out of your way
- All kinds of ways
Keep the faith!
