INTRODUCTION
The last message looked at ‘service anointing’ and the trustworthiness of people who are in the service of God through the trait of ‘faithfulness to mission’, illustrated through the criteria of trusting in God’s discretion, His power and in His Holy Spirit.
This message examines another trait of service trustworthiness which is ‘productiveness in service delivery’. Servants of God must be productive in delivering His services in the sense of accomplishing the specified task or plan to which they are called. We examine this trait in the context of serving God in unity as the body of Christ, believing in God’s word and method of accomplishing His purpose, serving God’s people, the importance of the ‘calling’ and the agreement, the Harvest and increase, and righteous commitment to service. We use biblical examples to illustrate these various dimensions of productiveness and service delivery and the trust of God.
