TOPIC: A WET WOOD: WHO IS A WET WOOD?
Memory Verse: Prov. 26:20
“20 Where there is no wood, the fire goes out; And where there is no talebearer, strife ceases.”
Bible Reading: Leviticus 6:12
“12 And the fire on the altar shall be kept burning on it; it shall not be put out. And the priest shall burn wood on it every morning, and lay the burnt offering in order on it; and he shall burn on it the fat of the peace offerings.”
A Christian who is not available for the use of God can be term a wet wood; someone who finds it difficult to do the things of God, Who finds the Gospel irritating. If the word of God is a no go area for you, your spouse not enjoying your marriage, your boss not being satisfied with your services, all such services may be regarded as wet wood. Someone who keeps finding fault in everything done in the church, places of work, family, who is not ready to lift a hand or to create a difference, you are that wet wood this message is referring to. You keep seeing the bad aspect of everyone but nothing bad from your own side. You have never been a blessing to people around you neither have you bless anyone around, you are that wet wood. Everyone try to avoid you anywhere you are and you think it’s respect, sorry, you are that wet wood whom the dried wood is avoiding.
The priest, when making sure the fire on the altar keeps burning, search for a dry wood, an available wood, competent wood that will enhance the fire. He separate the dry from the wet wood. He select the available and useful wood in order to fulfill God giving instructions on the altar. When your boss prefer giving others your responsibility, check yourself if you are not that dried wood. When your spouse prefer an outsider for a home discussion, are you the dried or the wet wood? In your church, when others keep distancing themselves from you, it might be your bad influence that’s presenting you as a wet wood.
God is in search of dry wood who will be available for fire to be on the altar. Not just services in the house of God alone qualifies you to God but every areas of your life. Your family, work place, environment, place of worship, all these places is what determine the type of wood your are. Listen, God want us to live a life that will point people to Him and not a life that will point others to the devil. Which wood are you? Wet or dry wood?
