MGD: My Father’s Business

Sharalon. Beloved, you are welcome to today's Morning Glory Devotion. We

are Pastor and Dickiness Kilsen from the Harvest Chapel International

Danie Michul Massey, and we are humbled to be bringing

you another episode of our Morning Glory Devotion. Let us

kind of share a word of prayer. Dear Father, thank

you for the blessing of today. As we study your word,

Please transform our lives with the truth that only comes

from you in Jesus his name. Amen, let us kind

of take a confession for today from Joshua chatter one

the verse eight. Joshua chatter one the verse eight. This

book of the Law shall not depart from my mouth,

but I shall meditate in it day and night, that

I may observe to do according to all that is

written in it. For then I will make my way prosperous,

and then I will have good success. Amen, beloved. Today's

message is titled My Father's Business. My Father's Business, written

by Miss Amanda Baden. Our scripture reading shall be taken

from Luke Chapter two, from the verse thirty six to

thirty eight, and then we will continue with the verses

forty six to forty nine. Look chapter two from the

verse thirty six to thirty eight, and then the verses

forty six to forty nine. I will be reading from

the new King James version. Look chapter two, the verse

thirty six to thirty eight. Now there was one honor

a prophetess, the daughter of Funua, of the tribe of Asher.

She was of a great age and had lived with

her husband seven years from her virginity. And this woman

was a widow of about eighty four years, who did

not depart from the temple, but saved God with fastings

and prayers ninth and day, and coming in that instant,

she gave thanks to the lawd and spoke of him

to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem, continuing

with the verse forty six to forty nine. Now, so

it was that after three days they found him in

the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both

listening to them and asking them questions. And all who

had him were astonished at his understanding and answers. So

when they saw him, they were amazed, and his mother

said to him, son, why have you done this to us? Look,

your father and I have sought you anxiously, and he

said to them, why did you seek me? Did you

not know that I must be about my father's business. Amen.

The Lord add his blessings to the reading and hearing

author's word, Thanks being to God. Amen, my father's business,

my father's business. Beloved, we are saved and sanctified to

live for an audience of one God, our Father, our

master and Savior. We are no longer our own as believers,

left to live for our own dreams and aspirations. We

are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works

which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them

ephicients too the verse ten. And as such we must

live every day prioritizing and being preoccupied with the Lord's agenda.

When we are saved, we are saved to live for God,

to give our time, time, talent, and treasures for the

sake of God's will. But it is easy to get

carried away by personal ambition or chasing after money, especially

in our days of social media. Social media has a

way of making us desire to become great, to leave

a legacy, to build a name, compete with others for

the spread of mammon. But beloved that is not the

blueprint Christ came to demonstrate. Though he had power, Jesus

didn't seek personal ambition, political power, fame and riches. Rather,

he spent a lot of time fellowshiping with God so

that he would know and do the will of his Father.

The apostles carried on this legacy, working tirelessly to preach

the Gospel to all nations until their last breath. And Beloved,

we also have been saved to do the same. Beloved,

we are the workers in the field, soldiers of Christ, stewards,

and ambassadors of the Gospel, And so every day we

are given breath, we must have Kingdom priority on our minds.

We must ask God for his agenda and for our

specific roles in that grand agenda. Obeying the Word, abiding

in Christ, preaching the Gospel, edify the Body of Christ

with our gifts, and bearing the fruit of the spirits

are key mandates for every believer, be him young or old,

and you must do your part and fulfilling these by

the help of the Holy Spirit. We must ponder these

questions every day. Who am I living for? Am I

about my Father's business? Are you working tirelessly to fulfill

a personal or worthy ambition or is the Father's will

your priority while you still have breath? Are you brutally

focused on what God has called you to do? Or

are you distracted by the blueprints of the world Beloved,

Let us live every day like Jesus, being busy about

our own father's business. Amen, God rishly bless you. Let

us kind of shall our memory verse for today. Our

memory verse is taken from John chapter fourteen, the verse

thirty one. John fourteen, verse thirty one, and I read

from the New King James version. But I would do

what the Father requires of me so that the world

would know that I love the Father. Come, let's be

going that I would do what the Father requires of

me so that the world would know that I love

the Father. Come, let's be gone. Amen, let us kindly

share a word of prayer. Our gracious, heavily Father, We

say thank you for the gift of your word. Thank

you for this understanding and this clarion call to return

to the Father's business. Help us and grace us to

be busy about our father's business, to be found doing

like you we're doing. Let's not seek our own ambition,

but seek the agenda and the mandate that God has

left for our lives in the mndy name of Jesus,

with prayer, with thanksgiving. Amen, Beloved, gorgeously bless you for

staying all through today's Morning Glow Devotion. Candly join us

again on Monday for another episode of our Morning Glory

Devotion by God's grace. At the same time, stay tuned
