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...

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.

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...

Mystery of Addition

Acts 2:47 … And the Lord added to the church daily … A careful and holy spirit concentrated reading shows that there is a mystery to addition. Addition is triggered by being in Favour with both God and Human. However, there is an action that triggers the state of being in favour with God and Human. Studying Luke 6:38, Luke 2:52 and other scriptures shows that there can’t be addition without favour and there can’t be favour without giving and oneness. The giving is not solely financial, but in all aspects of life. What you give never comes back to you in same quantity and quality. It is increased! Oneness is not just with people around, but also with thyself. Yes, you can be one with you. When your mind and heart and body is one then there won’t be rivalry even among the members of the body and, the doing and thinking of someone. If you need addition in anything you do, simply give and be one. Give to God and be one with God! Give to human and be one with human!! Give t...
