TOPIC: HOW ACCOMMODATING ARE YOU? 3: Be Accessible.
MEMORY VERSE:
Matthew 10:41.
“41 He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.”
BIBLE READING:
2 Kings 5:1-4
“1 Now Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Syria, was a great and honorable man in the eyes of his master, because by him the LORD had given victory to Syria. He was also a mighty man of valor, but a leper.
2 And the Syrians had gone out on raids, and had brought back captive a young girl from the land of Israel. She waited on Naaman’s wife.
3 Then she said to her mistress, “If only my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria! For he would heal him of his leprosy.”
4 And Naaman went in and told his master, saying, “Thus and thus said the girl who is from the land of Israel.”
What is your relationship strength with people living/working in your home? Your Gardner, Cook, Maid, Driver and Nanny, how free are they to you? Are you available to them? Do you see them as slaves or helper? Do you care if they live or die serving you? Can they reach out to you for discussion? Get this point today, everyone around you has a contribution to your life and you also have a duty to carry out in their lives. How has it been with your helper?
Naaman was a warrior, a great man and the right hand man to the king Samaria but he was a leper. After many victories over different nations which included Israel, he got a maid for his wife who was an Israelite. But Naaman and his family must have been accessible to their maids. Who would have said Naaman’s healing could have happened through a maid, a slave from Israel? She went to her mistress and explained to her about Prophet Elisha who could heal Naaman’s leprosy. If they weren’t accessible they wouldn’t have given it a thought, the fear of saying such words would have hindered the little girl and stop the healing but because of the level of freedom the maid enjoyed she could think good of her master’s health. Many around you are to unlock your health, job, business and many other things but your consistent attitude resisted them from speaking. Make yourself accessible and treat your helpers well. Give them room to live like human and not a slave, God rules over us all. Let them have access to you and be available for them. Be more accommodating.
God Bless you and Good Morning.
