SUBJECT:

• The disciples straightway followed Jesus, without hesitation.
• When asked for a volunteer, does it matter what the help is for?
• Details are on a need to know basis and they come later.
• Your response to being asked to volunteer is “Here am I, send me” or “Yes sir, no problem”.
• Remember who you are doing it for. Jesus laid down His life for you.
• Service to the Lord is “Yes sir, no problem and send me”. It is not saying “I won’t volunteer ever again”.
• In school you were called ‘teachers pet’ or ‘brown noser’ if you did that which you were told to do, but only because they are convicted.
• On judgment day “should’ve”, “could’ve”, “would’ve” will be too late and have no place.
• Without diligent service to the Lord, how long will your eternity last? (How long will you stand?)
• Pulling apart 2 sheets of velcro really slowly, is the reluctance in doing that which the Lord tells you to do.
• Is the Lord seeing you do what He has told you to do?
• It’s time to take another step into the place of diligent service.
• Your flesh does not, nor ever will, want to do the will of God.
• But the new man needs to be the first response.
• If you’re about the Lord’s business, then there’s nothing more exciting and it leads to “yes Lord”.
• There is no “working on it”, it’s a choice, and when you choose it, God shows up and meets you in it.
