I recently put a status up on my facebook and I thought it was worth sharing in my notes. I pray it bless your life as it did mine; when the Lord shared it with me:
FaceBook Status: God does not want you to serve Him on a conventional level, HE wants you to serve Him on a post-conventional level...
To expound on this there are actually three stages that you can serve the Lord on a psychological standpoint.
The first stage is on the pre-conventional level; this christian reasoning is the "What is in it for me?" -- their servanthood is based on if you bless me Lord I will serve you. The condition of the Lord initiating determines the response of the service towards the Lord.
The second stage is the conventional level, this christian reasoning, even though they mean well; is they think God loves them based on their good works. "Living under the Law" They try to be "good" christians, considering the consequences of the "bad" christian. They servanthood is an 'obligated' service. Only to avoid consequences.
The last stage is on the post-conventional level; (the perfect will of God) this christian reasoning for serving the Lord is just because He is God. These christians highest motivation is walking in the scripture... 'IF YOU LOVE ME, you will obey my commandments'. They are not trying to be, they just are... or in other words, if you don't give me another thing, Jesus is Lord and God sits on the throne of my life.If there was not a heaven or hell to put me in, I will still obey your will ol' Lord, if you decide not to heal my body from a incurable disease; I will take my last breath declaring you are God & God alone... GLOOORRRRYYY!!!!
Now ask yourself which stage are you on? If there is room for change, change it... God bless!!!
