Blessing of serving the Lord:

1. Learning Responsibility: When you learn to serve God at young age, you are learning responsibility. Whether they are simply tasked with holding a door open for church visitors as an Usher in the Junior Church or any other role, you are learning responsibility and accountability.

2. Develop Confidence and Self Esteem: When you serve God as teenager, you are developing confidence in yourself and that of the Holy Spirit. You are learning how to create a good relationship with God and the people around you.

Teachers are there to mentor you and you will discover your true gift or talent God has given to you. You will learn how to be a good leader and others will want to learn from you too. Serving God and enlarge His kingdom here on earth is a very important role we must play in our lives.

We get the reward of His blessings, His joy, the benefits and so much more when we dedicate our lives to serving him in truth and spirit
