Serving The Lord With All Your Heart

Contributed by Lola Olanrewaju on Nov 4, 2018

Brethren I believe there is a lot to serve God for, not because of what He has done for us but because of Who He is. Our God deserve an outstanding service from us because He is the best employer and He owns the best organisation you can ever work for in the world.

It means to show enthusiasm in the things of God and be on fire for Him. I believe having a fully devoted heart is one of the characters we need to possess as a Christian. ...read more
