Serve God Selflessly, Attract Divine Blessings – Oyelami
The Minister in charge of First Baptist Church, Gwagwalada, Abuja, Reverend Deji Oyelami, has urged Christians to always use their influence to bless others and glorify God.
Reverend Oyelami made the call on Sunday during his sermon at the church’s Sunday service in Gwagwalada, Abuja.
He said God expects Christians to positively influence those around them through their character and good deeds in order to attract divine blessings.
According to him, Christians also need to serve the Lord willingly, just as Sarah did in the Bible, to ensure the expansion of God’s kingdom.
“God is expecting us to serve Him through the grace and ability within our disposal without any negotiations and conditions to avoid closed heaven.
Hence, the need for all believers to be conscious of their actions and inactions in the service of God and humanity,” the Baptist cleric stated.
In his words, “In the service of the Lord, there’s space for everyone and nobody is expected to be idle.
Therefore, God is not expecting any Christian to sit on the fence because everyone has been gifted with one talent or the other needed for the propagation of the gospel that would win more souls for Christ.”
Reverend Deji Oyelami cautioned Christians against negotiating before rendering their services to God, noting that such actions limit their blessings and could also serve as stumbling blocks to their breakthroughs in life.
“God has a way of blessing those who serve Him genuinely and diligently, and we should not be weary in doing good because God will surely pay everyone in accordance with our service to Him towards the expansion of His kingdom,” he added.
