TOPIC : THE INCONSEQUENTIAL TOOLS OF GOD 4: Domestic Workers
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:
2 Kings 5:2-3.
“2. And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman’s wife.
3. And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy.”
Every creation of God has their use at God’s discretion. To man, some things seems meaningless and useless, but God uses them to shame the wise. The Psalmist said,
“The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. Psalms 118:22.” Everyone is a vessel in God’s hand.
This slave girl was captured when the Syrian went for a raid, and she served Naaman’ wife. She served as a slave, and this is my believe, they’ve been treating her fine not just as a slave. She was happy and satisfied with her boss. A day came that she spoke to her mistress, “There is a Prophet in Israel who can heal our lord” and this news got to the king, then, the journey began. In Israel, Naamen met with Prophet Elisha but rejected His instruction. God did used another servant who encouraged him, 2 Kings 5:13-14, till the healing was perfected.
How do you handle your workers? Slave girls and boys, Gateman and Drivers? Your Cook, Gardeners and Nanny? Do you think they are tools in your hand and not in the hands of God? You may be the only help they have today, treat them well because they may be the vessel to lift you soonest. Don’t write them off, treat them well in as much as God has helped you.
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.
