SERVICE TO ANOINTED
Memorise: He that receiveth a
prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that
receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a
righteous man’s reward. Matthew 10:41
Read: Matthew 10:40-42, Bible
in one year: Ezra 8:24-10:44, Ecclesiastes 7:9-18
Elisha was devoted to serving
the servant of God, Elijah. This devotion was one of the qualities that
qualified him for uncommon greatness. The Bible stated that Elisha poured water
on Elijah’s hand (2 Kings 3:11). With this and also as stated in our memory
verse, it is clear that there are lots of blessings reserved for those who
serve God’s prophets. You can serve a man of God without getting physical
remuneration from him. However, when a man of God pronounces blessing on you
saying “God bless you” from a friend differ from that which a man of God
pronounces. A “God bless you” from a man of God is loaded with prophetic
blessings. Hence you must be ready to do what will qualify you for a divine
benediction. Recently, I was in the United States and one of my sons in
the Lord shard a testimony. He testified thus:
“God surprised me during the
General Overseer’s (G.O.) previous visit. Prior to the G.O.’s arrival, my
pastor told me that he had chosen me to drive the G.O. around during his visit.
I tried to explain to my pastor that it might not be easy for me to take up
this assignment because I was preparing for a major examination, but my pastor
insisted. I thought I could manage to combine driving the G.O. with preparing
to write the crucial examination because my understanding was that the G.O.
would spend just one day. To my surprise, the G.O. spent a whole week. When he
was leaving he simply said, “God bless you”. To the glory of God, I passed my
exams in flying colours and I got a new job and prospered tremendously.”
May God remember all your
labour of love towards the minister of God in Jesus’ Name.
Elisha was committed to the
business of the kingdom. Therefore, when Elijah asked to know what he wanted,
he had only one answer: a double portion of the power on Elijah (2 Kings 2:9).
Elisha asked for what he would use for God’s work. The Bible in Matthew 6:33
says:
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
God is looking for those who
are concerned about His kingdom’s business. As from today, may the Lord grant
you the mind to work for Him and to work with His anointed ministers.
Action point
Think of how you can extend
the frontiers of God’s kingdom on earth and start its execution.
