QUOTE OF THE DAY: “THE ULTIMATE REWARD FOR ALL EYE SERVICE IS CORRUPTION”
ANCHOR TEXT: “These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me”
Matthew 15:8.
There is a difference between heart service and eye service. Eye service is the type that is influenced and initiated by the flesh, to please, to show off, to impress, and for an ulterior motive, but the ultimate reward for this type of service is corruption.
‘For he that sows to his flesh shall reap corruption; but he that sows to the spirit shall of the spirit reap life everlasting (Galatians 6:8). But a heart service is that type that is influenced by genuine love for God.
It is a service rendered whether there are people to see it or not. Interestingly, people that render this type of service are hidden and not popular in the crowd. This is the only type of service God recognizes and rewards both here and in eternity.God sees what we do not see, knows what we do not know, and hears what we do not hear.
You can impress and deceive man, but not God. Those we look at as great may not be as great before God and those we do not reckon with may be highly esteemed by Him.
In the kingdom, acceptance of service is not subject to size, fame, affluence, but by attitude and condition of the heart. Why do you think God rejected Cain’s sacrifice? Why do you think God accepted those coins donated by that widow? It is an issue of the heart.
