How to Treat Helpers!

MEDITATION
DEUTERONOMY 15:12-23

How to treat our house helps, servants and employees

1. Put their future interest, freedom and prosperity in perspective. Don't be selfish v12.
2. Don't use and dump. Have specific plans for their successful independent living v12.
3. In determining their wages, treat them like human beings who should have enough to secure their present and prepare for their future. Don't be like Laban, Jacob's master  v12.
4. Don't be oppressive. Treat them in such a way that they will enjoy working for you and if they are to leave, it will be reluctantly vv16,17.
5. Settle them after they have served you and it is time to release them vv13,18.
6. Don't enslave them. Don't use affliction, deprivation, denials or delays in paying them to drive them away vv13,14.

7. The reward and blessings that follow obedience and love outweigh the sacrifice v18c. 
8. It is expected of the servants to behave brotherly and sacrificially in a way that the employer will be prospered and happy at their service v12, Titus 2:9,10.
Q Can you mention the servant of a brother in the Bible who got converted in the prison and was told to go back to his master and make restitution?
Q If God would demand a slave to be settled, then God will much more settle His children, including me😆.
Father, I praise you because you have definite plans of prosperity and success for my life🙏
LORD, don't allow me to stay away from your purpose for my life but rather give me your revelation of your plan for my life and keep me focused🙏
LORD, I ask that you open all doors that will lead me to perfect settlement in life and remove all obstacles🙏
LORD, come and settle all the jobless, oppressed and afflicted in the church with great testimonies🙏

Heart Not Garment - 2

By Date -
"Rend your heart, and not your garments." --Joel 2:13 Apart from vital godliness all religion is utterly vain; offered without a sincere heart, every form of worship is a solemn sham and an impudent mockery of the majesty of heaven. HEART-RENDING is divinely wrought and solemnly felt. It is a secret grief which is personally experienced, not in mere form, but as a deep, soul-moving work of the Holy Spirit upon the inmost heart of each believer. It is not a matter to be merely talked of and believed in, but keenly and sensitively felt in every living child of the living God. It is powerfully humiliating, and completely sin-purging; but then it is sweetly preparative for those gracious consolations which proud un-humbled spirits are unable to receive; and it is distinctly discriminating, for it belongs to the elect of God, and to them alone.

The True Picture Of The Church Today II

By Date -
THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: Sunday 7th, June 2020. TOPIC: The True Picture Of The Church Today II TEXT: Rev. 3:15  MESSAGE "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot".Vs 15, so then because thou art lukewarm, neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Lukewarmness and indifference in religion is the worst tempter in the world. The husband of a lukewarm wife is always confused as he would not know when and how to please the wife. So are members of the church whose heart cannot be determined. They are between two opinions. We also have these in the church because they are high minded and proud, they have unknowingly overlooked the necessity of their souls as they gorgeously dressed up in Costly apparel at the expense and decay of their souls, making them to be wretched poor and miserable.  Also there is the state of blindness which the devil is using against the church today which has made them very weak and defensele...
