Every kingdom star becomes an earthly ruler. You can only become a kingdom star when you are totally sold out to his cause. In God’s kingdom there is nothing that multiply without sowing. Only kingdom servants enjoy God’s dominion/distinction on earth. Until you are committed to things of God you can not be connected on earth. In the book of psalm 92 verse 13-14, the Bible says, Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God, they shall still bring forth fruit at old age,they shall be fat and flourishing.

When you are committed to God you will have a Glorious future. I was under the ministration of my father , Bishop Bolu Martins in Winner’s chapel, kano in the late 1999, and he was preaching on the secret of how one can be distinguished in life via commitment, where i was sotted that day it was as if they were hitting me with Hammer. Right there and then I knew the message was for me, l then made up my mind that the remaining part of my life l will dedicate it for his service. There and then I made up my mind that am not the one that owns my body, he owns evwrything that relate that isin me.

As at that moments I had only a T. Shirt and a trouaer, I began to serve Gos with joy radiating all around me. I was doing the work as ifmy life begin and ends with his work. I had only a cloth both home and away, before iknew what was happening Gos began to change my story, I can say today that despite the fact that I was a born muslim and i came from an Islamic back ground ,what God has done and brought out of my life is unbelievable,i gave all Glory to God foe everything. Where most christians do often made mistake is when they carry the mentality that those that are serving God are lazy people that has no job. When you dilligently serve God , he will make people to serve you. Every potenrial leader must be a committed servant. There is a scripture that I stumbled on in the Bible that has greatly helped the journey of my life. In the book of colossians chapter 3 verse 22-24 “servants, obey in all things yours master according to the flesh , not with eye service, as menpleaser,

But in singleness of heart,fearing God and whatsoever ye do, do it hertily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.. knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance for ye serve the Lord christ.”I have read this scripture over and over again and itchas been a great scripture that has inspired me so much in the work of God, I read it, I ate it, i chew it everyday. That is why anywhere am priviledge to serve Gos l don t look at people’.

face orEyaa, I just serve God and once am convinced within me that what am doing is justifies before God, I dont care whose ox is gored. Kingdom service entails your making useful contributions for the advancement of God’s kingdom here inthe earth. I dont serve God for men to commend me. I serve God because i love God. The essence of being committed to God is to love him. In thecbook of Daniel chapter 10 verse 12-13 “”And now, Israel what doth the Lord thy God,require of the,but to fear the Lord thy God,to walk in all his ways, and to love him , and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,to keep the commandments of the Lord, and his statues, which I command thee this day for thy good”. So many Christians confessed that Jesus is the Lord and their saviour, but he is not the Lord of their heart and practise. Until you allow him to take a total control of your life, you have not surrendered unto him.

Is God having control over your life, your money, your work, your possession, your position, your inheritance, your daily routine. He must be the one that has all that you have and all that you are in life as well. You must not allow your progeamme to claah with his own programme. If you are a true lover of God, when God’s programme clashes with your programme, you will abadon your own programme for his own programme. Until you stop giving excuses for not serving God’,your life cannot be excuses from problems and challenges of life. You must see God.as the owner of everything you have. Your success in life is not based on your level of production, or your talent or your gift or connections to men . But your success in life is based on your connected to God and his work. If you are not committed to God,you will be committed to your enemy. The only key in life that make a man to obtain good success is your admiration for God and his work. Life without Jesus is a meaningless life. Your life is in his hand. Are you out to use God to achieve your aim and become God’s Gos?. Think where you belong. Finally let me show you FOUR key points YOU require if you love him and you want to walk in his ways.

1. You must love God . John 14 verse 15: says”if you love me .keep my commandments. If you are committed to God,to obey him will not be difficult for you, you cannot keep his commandments without you being obedient to him. Remember partial obedience is absolute disobedience. Your obedience must be total.
2. You must be determined. Act 20 verse 24, yoy muat purpose to accomplish God’s plans regardless of the challenges on your waya. Some in your service unit will discourage you with their attitude, action, behaviour, you must just bw focused to your God and not your unit members and you Unit leader.
3. You must be available and punctual- you must plan yourself to make Gos first in all your daily schedule, you can only be committed when you dont choose when you come for service, meeting, but at the time stipulated. Act 20 verse 24.
5. You must fear the Lord. When the fear of the Gos is in you you will not indulge yourself in SIN. Once you show the fear of God,you will Not go and do what God dislike . Romans 12 verse 1. You can’t be committed to God,and also be committed to SIN, Daniel was committed to God, therefore he purposed not to defile himself Daniel 1 verse 8. If you keep to all these instructions in life you will ends up bexoming a STAR in Life. If you love Gos without your resources, you are not a geninue lover of God and his work. If you walk with these in your life you are a candidate for the TOP.
