TOPIC: HOW ACCOMMODATING ARE YOU? 7: Rewarding Your Accommodators
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 4:11-13 & 16
“11 And it happened one day that he came there, and he turned in to the upper room and lay down there.
12 Then he said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite woman.” When he had called her, she stood before him.
13 And he said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Look, you have been concerned for us with all this care. What can I do for you? Do you want me to speak on your behalf to the king or to the commander of the army?’ ” She answered, “I dwell among my own people.”
“16 Then he said, “About this time next year you shall embrace a son.” And she said, “No, my lord. Man of God, do not lie to your maidservant!”
We live in a world where people take advantage of Good people, rewarding evil for good act, denying good people their reward, some take advantage of other’s services and many good people had regretted offering accommodation, is that who you are? I want everyone this morning to take a deep thought about our action towards those who has once accommodated us, how have we rewarded them? Do you try paying them back with good act?
Elisha was accommodated by a barren woman for days and months without the Shunamite tendering her problem to Elisha. Until He realizes that, the woman needed to be rewarded for her good gesture to them. How was she rewarded? By putting an end to her barrenness. Do you know you have an assignment in the life of your benefactor (that accommodated you)? There are things you need to achieve in his/her life before and/or after departing from that your helper. Prophet Elisha rewarded the Shunamite woman with a child. God and the Angels rewarded Abraham with Isaac. Elijah rewarded the Zarephet woman by restoring her child from dead, what are you rewarding that your benefactor with, good or evil? Haven’t you forgotten Him/Her since he/she helped you? Find redress today, give a call to that person, send a token to him/her, render what you can with the gift in your hands, don’t wait until they ask you, render that services back to them.
God Bless you and Good Morning.
