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🙏

Divine Opening

Divine Opening “ Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; ” - - - Isaiah 45:1 Hallelujah! God has graciously brought us to the second month of this year. As the Lord themed this year as our year of Divine Beautification so also is this month themed as our month of Divine Openings. You may be thinking how will come bring to past His promises but remember that God can do anything at any time He wishes to. He can use anyone to bring to pass this Divine Opening. From the passage, He used Cyrus to subdue nations and Jehovah using any person to do His will is not an issue. I pray that in any area of your life that you are experiencing difficult and closed doors, Jehovah will cause the doors to be open unto you. No more will you experience difficulty and shortages. The doors of your supply are open...

Do Your Search

Do Your Search Acts 17:11 – These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. While in college and high school, you will agree with me that after you are taught by your instructor, you carried out some search to attain the truth and to know more. This we all did for a degree and knowledge that is corruptible, aren’t we supposed to do more for a knowledge that incorruptible and that will lead to our salvation? It is advisable that we should always search the scriptures even if it is the most revered religious leader or person that just spoken from the scripture. To stay deceivable then don’t study or search the scriptures but remember many even the agents of darkness can preach and quote the scriptures but they do this by tailoring the scripture to suite their purpose, 1 Thessalonians 5:21, 2 Corinthian 11:14-15. Beloved study your bible frequently, 2 Timoth...

Make Me Known!

Make Me Known! Habakkuk 3:2 [2] Yahweh, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds, Yahweh. Renew your work in the middle of the years. In the middle of the years make it known. In wrath, you remember mercy. Thanks to Jehovah that were in the second half of the year and in the month of revival. By grace even as you have reverential awe and fear for the Lord, the divine revival will continue throughout your life time. I write to you under grace that the Good thing you heard and saw that was done by God will be repeated in your life. Even those things that haven't been heard, seen or perceived; receive grace to testify of it in your life. God will announce you to your world. He'll redo all the good He did in your life. His mercy will always speak for you. Let's Pray 1) Father, I thank you for your revival for me in this midst of 2017. 2) Redo your miracles, testimonies, uplifting and wonders in my life. 3) Lord, let your mercy speak for me. 4) Lord...
