TOPIC : THE INCONSEQUENTIAL TOOLS OF GOD 6: Strangers/Unfamiliar Faces.
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 Samuel 30:10-11.
“10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
11. And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;”
As we’ve been studying, we could decode that God works with different tools which are not expected. When Abraham’s promises was to be fulfilled, God came as a stranger, in the persons of three men. Thank God Abraham was sensitive. He welcomed Him with Good delicacy and through that, the prophecy was declared. What if Abraham had neglected them?
David just lost all his family and the his men’s family to the raiders who raided Ziglak. He was supposed to be in sadness and anger to recover his family, but with that, he was Sensitive to show mercy to a stranger, the Egyptian who later led them to the raiders. You might say the world is dangerous, yes, that doesn’t stop God from using strangers to perform wonders. The story of Jesus about the Samaritan is another stranger used by God. God has never showed up in a way we expected him, He always come in disguise. Tending to strangers can be the needed tools for our breakthroughs. We need to have a rethink with our decisions to avoid strangers. Be more sensitive with strangers.
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.
