SUNDAY SERVICE // 7 JUNE 2026
WORD OF GOD BY APOSTLE ANGEL
TOPIC: SERVING THE LORD EVEN THOUGH…..
Scripture References: Habakkuk 3:17-19, Job 1:18-20, Job 2:9-10
The prophet Habakkuk tells us that despite the fig tree not blossoming, nor fruit being on the vines, the labor of the olive failing, and the fields yielding no food, the flock being cut off from the fold, and no herd being in the stalls, we will still rejoice in the Lord and find joy in the God of our salvation.
This teaching emphasizes serving God unconditionally, regardless of our circumstances. Some individuals serve God only when their circumstances are favorable. However, we must be determined to continue serving God, even in the face of unanswered prayers.
The biblical account of Job illustrates a man who was righteous and blessed with wealth, yet maintained his devotion to God even when everything was taken away. Job's understanding that he came into this world with nothing and would depart with nothing enabled him to continue serving God truthfully.
The challenges we face are designed by the enemy to divert our devotion from God. Like Job, instead of cursing God, we should respond with worship, acknowledging that our possessions and circumstances are temporary.
Job's wife suggested that he curse God and give up/die, implying that our relationship with God is often tied to our prosperity. However, we must learn to trust God beyond our possessions and not worship them. Trusting God means relying on Him even when our situations seem uncertain.
God is aware of our struggles, sicknesses, and burdens, and He will deliver us. Our relationship with God should not be strengthened by our possessions but by our faith in Him.
The example of Paul and Silas, who worshipped God in prison, demonstrates that our role is to serve God faithfully, regardless of circumstances, while God plays His role in our lives. Standing firm in faith, even in adversity, is crucial because God is the God of impossibilities and does not change.
Joseph, Abraham, and Daniel faced trials but remained faithful. Despite being thrown into challenging situations, those who fix their eyes on God will emerge victorious. We must continue to serve God unconditionally, trusting in His goodness and faithfulness.
