You were out on earth to make contribution.

You weren’t created just to consume resources-to eat, breathe and take up space. God designed you to make a difference with your life. You were created to add to life on earth, not just take from it. God wants you to give something back.

You created to serve God.

Whenever you serve others in anyway, you actually serving God and fulfilling one of your purposes. In Jeremiah…Before I made you in your mother’s womb, I chose you. Before you were born, I set a part for a special work…Jeremiah 1:5

You were placed on this planet for a special assignment.

You were saved to serve God.

The bible says…It is he who saves us and chose us for his holy work, not because we deserved it but because was his plan. (2 timothy 1:9) God redeemed you so you could do his “holy Work”. You’re not saved by service, but you are saved for his service. In God kingdom, you have place, a purpose, a role and a function to fulfill. This gives your life great significance and value.

The bible remind us…. “God paid a great price for you, so use your body to honor God…..” As said in the Youth News 5th Edition. I list down, 5 how we bring Glory to God by Rick Warren…

:: We bring God glory by worshipping Him.
:: We bring God glory by loving other believers.
:: We bring God glory by becoming like Christ.
:: We bring God glory by serving others with our gifts.
:: We bring God glory by telling others about Him.

Through salvation our past has been forgiven, our present is given meaning and our future is secured. In Galation 2:20 juga menyebut perkara tu….

The apostle JOHN taught that our loving service to others shows that we are truly saved. He said….Our love for each other proves that we have gone death to life…

If I have no love for others, no desire to serve others and I’m only concerned about my need, I should question whether Christ is really in my life. A saved heart is one that wants to serve……..

Another term for serving God that’s misunderstood by most people is the word MINISTRY? When most people hear “Ministry” they think of Pastors, Priest and professional Clergy but God says DIFFERENT my dear brother and Sister.

God says every member of his family is a minister. In bible, the words servant and minister are synonyms, as are service and ministry.
IF your are A CHRISTIAN, YOU ARE A MINISTER AND WHEN YOU’RE SERVING, YOU’RE MINISTERING.

WHEN PETER’S SICK MOTHER IN LOW was healed by JESUS, she instantly “stood up and began to serve Jesus”
Using new gift of health. That is what we’re do. We are HEALED to help others. We saved to serve, not to sit around and wait for heaven.

Have you wondered why God doesn’t just immediately take us to heaven the moment we accept his grace?

Why does he leave us in a fallen world?

He leaves us here to fulfill his purposes. God intend to use you for his goal. God has ministry for you in church and mission for you in the world.

You called to serve God…A CALLING.

Growing up, you may have thought that being called by God to be
1) Pastors
2) Or other full time church workers BUT

The Bible tells us, every Christian is called to service.

The bible says…Now you belong to him…….in order that we might be useful in the service of God……Roman 7:4.

How much of the time you being useful in the service of God?
I let you all measure by yourself? This is Common questions and also sensitive questions?????

One reason why you need to be connected to a Church family is to fulfill your calling to serve other believers in practical ways. The bible says….All of you together is Christ BODY… and each one of you is a separate and necessary part of it….13

Each of us has a role to play; every role is important; THERE IS NO SMALL SERVICE TO GOD; IT ALL MATTERS. SMALL OR HIDDEN MINISTRIES OFTEN MAKE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE. Tuhan pasti membalas apa yang kita lakukan untuk Tuhan, itu sudah janji pasti….cepat atau lambat itu urusan Tuhan. Masa Tuhan. GOD TIME.

Sometime in Church ministry, we will feel tired, feed up… with the small-small things...ketidakpuasan hati dalam perlayanan.

Then kita akan berhenti dalam jangka masa yang sekejap atau lama. We not come to church because we want to relaks or masalah peribadi antara satu sama yang timbul di Gereja tiada penyelesaian. We take short way…not come to Church????

Today thousand of local churches are dying because of Christians who unwilling to serve. Unwilling to involve in ministries. Adakah ini berlaku di Gereja kita, ST. Andrews’s?????????

Mothers teresa once said…. “ holy living consist in doing God’s work with a smile….”

JESUS said that spiritual maturity is never an end in itself. Maturity is for ministry. We grow up in order to give out. It is not enough to keep learning more and more…sampai bila?

Kita jangan hanya seperti biasa datang ke gereja seperti rutin dan tiada perubahan dalam ministry kita. Kita tidak membangun. We must act on what we know and practice what we claim to believe. Kalau kita mempunyai kepandaian, kebijaksanaan…show it in God way laaaa….. Don’t keep it….Common my dear friend in Christ, God want to use you.


When we find the Church that we can grow….we sometime not in correct way….
We will say… saya mencari Gereja yang memenuhi kehendak saya dan memberkati saya….sebenarnya di situ kita telah awal-awal lagi sudah tersilap….

Sepatutnya kita mencari Gereja dimana kita boleh melayani…we looking for Church or place to serve and be a blessing to others. Amen……..

Let yourself> serve others and be a blessing to others….


Often I heard also, people always ready or prepare for wonderful excuses for doing God works.

I was too busy
I had my own goal

Tapi Tuhan pasti berkata……Sorry wrong answer my dear Child…I created you, saved and called you and command to live a life of service…..
Jesus terus terang mengatakan

…….(Marks 8;35, matt 10;39, luke 9;24)

Jangan main-main dengan janji Tuhan ini. This truth is SO IMPORTANT that is repeated 5 times in the Gospels. If you aren’t serving, you just exist, because life is….. MEANT FOR MINISTRY. GOD WANTS YOU TO LEARN TO LOVE AND SERVE OTHERS MY DEAR FRIEND IN CHRIST.

GOD WANT to use YOU MY FRIEND…
God want you to make different in HIS world.
Not how long you live, BUT HOW YOU LIVED.
So, God want to use you
