TOPIC : THE INCONSEQUENTIAL TOOLS OF GOD 2: A Ravens.
MEMORY VERSE:
1 Corinthians 1:28-29
“28. And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
29. That no flesh should glory in his presence.”
BIBLE READING:
1 Kings 17:4-6.
“4. And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.
5. So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.
6. And the ravens brought him bread and flesh in the morning, and bread and flesh in the evening; and he drank of the brook.”
The God of all flesh that uses insignificant tools to meet the needs of His children. He chose to use a raven to feed prophet Elijah during famine. What is a raven? A raven is a large, black bird that’s a scavenger — meaning that it likes to feed on dead animals. It feeds and eat greedily, it’s prey of dead body and obtain by violence. Raven is an intelligent bird due to their large brain size. With all these qualities, God made use of it to feed a Prophet for months. It brings the Prophet Bread and flesh twice a day. If i may ask, what’s the size of the bread and flesh? Where did it got them from? Who cooked the meat and baked the bread? A Raven, a bird was a wonderful tools in the hand of God.
Apostle Paul said, God chooses the foolish things of the world to shame the wise. Nothing is useless in the hand of God. Everything He created are tools in his hand. Those animal and pet around are His tools that we shouldn’t over look. All we need do is to be sensitive and be prepare to follow what He says and pay attention to the fulfilment. Elijah went to the designated place to wait for the Raven. Don’t use your brain to define God’s instructions. Just go and do as He says. Father, may we be able to act accordingly to your instructions without thinking with our little brain on how it will happen, in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
Good Day and God bless you.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
