TOPIC: CAN YOU RECEIVE FROM OTHERS?
BIBLE TEXT: I assure you: the one who receives whoever I send, receives me - John 13 vs. 20.
You would be surprised at how many people live beyond help, because they have an image to uphold. It’s a dangerous place to be. When trials come, not only must you be open to the Lord, but also whoever He sends.
Listen: “And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; …………… and the angels ministered unto him” (Mark 1 vs. 13). Even Jesus needed ministry.
He created the angels, yet HE permitted them to minister to Him. The greater was willing to receive help than the lesser. What a lesson for you! When your pain level get high enough, you won’t care who God uses. If you were in a burning house you wouldn’t care who the firemen were. Their education, denomination, and ethnic background, would mean nothing to you, because of the urgency of your need.
Perhaps your problem is that you need someone but you don’t trust anyone. Start trusting God! Whom do you think brought you this far? Listen: “Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed; says the Lord, who has compassion on you” (Isaiah 54 vs. 10).
When God extends His love and compassion to you, don’t be too proud to accept it.
Prayer: Lord help me to follow your word and do accordingly at all time, make me humble enough to receive from those whom you send my way.
Insight: When you accept it, you accept Him.
Thank you Jesus
