How to Treat Helpers!

By Date -
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🙏

Don’t Look Back!

By Date -
Don’t Look Back! Luke 9:62 – And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Have you answered the call to serve God as His son and daughter? Have you totally chosen Jehovah as your God? Have you decided to leave your old ways and cleave unto God? If yes! Beloved I congratulate you. But hope you took the cost of your choice?? [Please refer to yesterday’s sermon] God doesn’t want us to look back when we have answered the call, why? This is because of the following: Firstly, it brings shame to the body of Christ and makes people to despise Christ. Looking back is to be lukewarm and to depart from the first love! [Revelation 2:4, Revelation 3:16] Secondly, looking back makes the believer to suffer backwardness spiritually and physical. The faith of the believer suffers and takes a longer time to be rebuilt. [Hebrews 6:4]. Thirdly, looking back will make the person not to complete whatever he or she has started. This is w...

Faulty Covenant

By Date -
Faulty Covenant Hebrews 8:7 [7] For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. Covenant as a strong bound that is not easily broken can be faulty. The covenant made betwixt God and the Israelites was a faulty covenant in this time of Grace but perfect in it's time. The covenant wasn't to lead sinner's unto Christ's but it was to lead them unto their destructive end quickly. The old covenant was a period of darkness and pains (because it was more by works and not by grace) but thanks to God who invalidated the old covenant and gave us the covenant of Grace where Jesus is the mediator no longer Moses. God spoken of the new covenant long ago in Jeremiah 31:31; it was manifested in Christ. This new covenant brings light to the soul. Every covenant that do not bring light to your life, be destroyed now by fire! Whatever makes you to live by work and not by grace be destroyed! For God's name sake, let everyt...

Everlasting Not Temporal!

By Date -
Everlasting Not Temporal! Jeremiah 31:3 – The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn thee Hello God’s Love! There is a love greater than the greatest love you have ever experience on earth, that love is the Love of God. Malachi 1:2. God love all but all don’t have the same love effect or love level. Long before we were born, God has already loved us. This His love is everlasting not temporal. This love is not subject to some conditions before it is demonstrated or shown. This love just flow from God our Father to us supernaturally. This everlasting love of God has made Him draw us from the troubles and problems of this world to His place of joy and everlasting peace. [Ephesians 1:3, Hebrews 1:1-5]. The fact remains that we did nothing to acquire God’s love but we do things to grow His love for us. In the same way, despite what we do His love for us remains but we ...
