This is a radio broadcast of a morning prayer startup called Morning Glory Devotion. The message is about the rewards of faithful service to God, using examples such as Zechariah and Elizabeth, Ruth, and Cornelius. The speaker encourages listeners to remain steadfast and diligent in their service to God, as there are rewards for those who serve faithfully. The broadcast ends with a memory verse from 1 Corinthians 15:58, encouraging listeners to be steadfast and unmovable in their work for the Lord. I was glad when they said unto me let us go into the house of the Lord The name of the Lord be praised for the blessing of a brand new day. Thank you for tuning in to Radio HCI today and participating in the Just Ended Morning Prayer Startup. Coming your way once again from Havasupol International Kumasi are Deakin and Deakinna Skinson and we are most honoured to be presenting to you today's edition of Morning Glory Devotion. Let us kindly share a word of prayer. Our loving Father, your name be praised for the gift of today. Thank you for daily gracing us to come together like this to study your word. Our attention is all yours. Have your way in our midst. In Jesus mighty name Amen. Amen. Let us kindly take our confession together from Joshua chapter 1 verse 8. Joshua 1 verse 8. This book of the Lord shall not depart from my mouth but I shall meditate in it day and night that I may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then I will make my way prosperous and then I will have good success. Amen. Today's message is entitled Wow and Service. Wow and Service and our scripture reading shall be taken from Luke chapter 1 verse 5 to 14. Luke chapter 1 verse 5 to 14. I will be reading from the New Living Translation. When Herod was king of Judea there was a Jewish priest named Zechariah. He was a member of the priestly order of Abijah and his wife Elizabeth was also from the priestly line of Aaron. Zechariah and Elizabeth were righteous in God's eyes, careful to obey all of the Lord's commandments and regulations. They had no children because Elizabeth was unable to conceive and they were both very old. One day Zechariah was serving God in the temple for his order was on duty that too. As was the custom of the priest he was chosen by Lutz to enter the sanctuary of the Lord and burn incense. While the incense was being burned a great crowd stood outside praying. While Zechariah was in the sanctuary an angel of the Lord appeared to him standing to the right of the incense altar. Zechariah was shaken and overwhelmed with fear when he saw him but the angel said don't be afraid Zechariah God has heard your prayer. Your wife Elizabeth will give you a son and you are to name him John. You will have great joy and gladness and many will rejoice at his birth. The Lord adds his blessings to the reading and the hearing of his word. Thanks be to God. Amen. While in service. While in service. In our various fields of work there are set periods after which one having diligently served is recommended to receive various forms of promotions, rewards or bonuses and yet to find any establishment whose reward scheme is not based on continuous faithful and diligent service. This theme of rewarding the faithful and diligent steward seems to run all through the scriptures. Let us take a look at a few of them in an attempt to encourage one another to do same. In our opening text we are introduced to one of the great examples of faithful stewardship. Zechariah the priest and his wife Elizabeth were far advanced in age and for as long as they could remember their burning heart desire was for the Lord to bless them with a child. Despite the supposed delay in receiving this request they never relinquished in offering their diligent services to the Lord. Even in their old age when they could easily excuse themselves from doing so, day in day out they served the Lord willingly. As God will have it, it was on one of such occasions while Zechariah was willingly serving in the temple of the Lord that their much-anticipated answer came. Oh what joy it brought to these faithful stewards of God. The story of Ruth's faithful service to Naomi was no different. In the book of Ruth after staying 10 years in a foreign land we are told of how Naomi lost all she had, her husband, her sons and all her wealth. When she finally decided to return home of her two daughters-in-law it was only Ruth who decided in spite of nothing in sight to gain to still cling in service to Naomi and to her God. She made an oath to faithfully serve and never to look back and this she did diligently. It was while she served faithfully that she attracted their favor of the Lord. Soon the widow of a strange land became a wife of a respectable man, a mother to Obed and a great-grandmother of David from whose lineage is Jesus the Christ. In Acts chapter 10 we are presented with yet another example of the rewards of faithful service. Cornelius the Gentile who by this time was not worthy to be counted among them that deserve to hear the gospel. For to the Jews the Gentiles had no part in the covenant of God's promise of salvation yet he being a Gentile seared the Lord, prayed always and was devout in the services of God giving generously to the poor. It was while in service at the ninth hour of prayer that his faith was staying around not only his but that of his entire household and by extension to all Gentiles including you and me. It was while in service that the door of grace was open to us to come in and be partakers of his divine nature. These and many more examples point to the truth that there are rewards for them that are found faithfully serving the Lord, them that would serve despite the odds. And so looking beyond the prevailing negative circumstances let us take a stance by God's grace to never throw in the towel, defy God's instructions, take a French leaf or grudgingly put in the effort but rather with all willingness let us be found faithful in God's service. For as long as we are in service there remains a reward for us. God richly bless you. Let us kindly take our memory verse for today. Our memory verse for today is taken from 1st Corinthians chapter 15 the verse 58. 1st Corinthians chapter 15 the verse 58. I shall be reading from the King James Version. Therefore my beloved brethren be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord for as much as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. Therefore my beloved brethren be steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord for as much as you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. Amen. Amen. Let us kindly share a word of prayer. Our faithful Father, thank you for the blessing of this truth. Thank you for reminding us of the need to be found faithful in your service. By these examples we are encouraged to do things. On our own we would fail at this but by your grace we are well capable. We receive grace to be faithful in your service. In Jesus's name we pray. Amen. Amen. Dearly beloved, by God's grace let us step out today with our minds made up that in all things no matter what comes our way we will be found faithfully in service to God. God richly bless you. There's a lot more Christian content coming your way right here on Radio ACHD. Keep listening and you shall be blessed. Have a wonderful day. Shalom.
