Offering Acceptable Service To God - Acceptable Kingdom Service

Leviticus 22:19 - 20
19 Ye shall offer at your own will a male without blemish, of the beeves, of the sheep, or of the goats.
 20 But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.

God is King of Kings and the Lord of lords. He will not accept just any service.
God is DECENT and ORDERLY - 1Co 14:40 - Let all things be done decently and in order.

Let His Word guide us on how to serve Him.
Psalms 119:105 - Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.

His ways are higher than our ways
Isaiah 55:9 -  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

How Does God expect us to serve Him?

1. Serve God from the heart
   Matthew 22:37 - Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
   Deuteronomy 30:6 - And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
   EXAMPLE - 1Samuel 16:7 - ….I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.
2. Serve God Willingly And Joyfully
   Serving God with unwilling heart and without joy is not acceptable.
   You may end up attracting curses than blessings.
   Deuteronomy 28:47 - 48
   Because thou servedst not the LORD thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things; Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee
   
   
3. Serve God Faithfully
   Unfaithful servants are more risky that thieves and robbers.
   Unfaithful servants destroy the work from within.
   They are a cancer within. God wants us to serve Him faithfully.
   
    I Corinthians 4:2 - Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful
   
   Luke 16:12 - And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own?
   
   Luke 19:17 - And he said unto him, Well, thou good servant: because thou hast been faithful in a very little, have thou authority over ten cities.
   
   Matthew 25:21, 23 - His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord
   
   
4. Don’t Serve God With Eye Service.
   -Eye-service is service offered to attract attention from people or leaders.
   -It is service offered to impress people.
   
   Ephesians 6:5 – 6
   5 - Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
   6 - Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart
   
   Colossians 3:22 - Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God
   
   

Even Pastors who preaches expecting applause offers eye-services.
Jeremiah 3:15 - And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.
