Report for duty

Nobody can serve two masters. We shall either serve God or serve the devil an ourselves. Many Christian refuse to serve Jesus. They are in fact demonstrating that they do not love Jesus, and do not belong to Him.

Jesus calls us to be part of His body. Jesus is the head. Each member of the body is under direction of the Head, via the central nervous system, the Holy Spirit. Every member of the body is connected to the Head. Those who are not connected are not part of the Head.
Jesus said: “My sheep know My voice and they listen to Me.” John 10:27 Very few believers are connected of know His voice.

Those who are connected, who hear the voice of the Master, the true Shepherd, they are the true servants of God. They report for duty every morning. Their mind is set on Christ. Wherever God has called them and placed them they bear fruit for the kingdom of God.
They never take time out but serve Him every day.

There are few who really follow Jesus and truly belong to His body. Many were called but few responded. They were all more interested in their own affairs and had no interest in the kingdom of God. To many He will say in that day: Go away, I never knew you.

With Jesus, there are no half measures. Either you follow Him and serve Him or you are not worthy of Him. Salvation is not earned. It is a free gift. Refusal to serve the Master demonstrates love for self, Satan and sin. Those who follow Jesus do it voluntarily, they are bond servants, who serve Him day and night because they belong to the kingdom of heaven. Jesus is their King and they are members of His body.
