Our Lord and saviour Christ Jesus, has contract with all believers that binds us to serve Him without excuse. ^“For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; ¹⁵ and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again” (2 Cor. 5:14-15).

All believers have been offered the role of living for Christ but some, if not many have opted instead to live for something else. And there are others who have lukewarm attitudes to serving Christ’s interest because of distractions from other ventures. Christ is against His followers serving two masters. It’s a total commitment, not a split role, you can’t combine the roles. “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon” (Mat. 6:24).

Christ needs our full commitment. Set the will of God and His work as your top priority. Commit yourself to Christ and serve Him wholeheartedly. He is worthy of your service. Remember what He has done for you. Can you count your blessings? Let me help you count some of them. He has forgiven your sins – every one of them. He has healed all your diseases. He redeemed you from hell – saved your life. He crowns you with love and mercy – a divine crown. He overwhelms you with His goodness. He renews your youth – you’re always young in his presence. He doesn’t treat us as our sins deserve, nor pay us back in full for our wrongs. As high as heaven is over the earth, so strong is His love to those who fear Him. And as far as sunrise is from sunset, He has separated us from our sins (see Psalm 103).

Think about these and serve the Lord wholeheartedly.
