RESTORATION TODAY,
FIDAY, MAY 1, 2020
TOPIC: *ARE YOU AVAILABLE?*
“And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman’s wife. And she said unto her mistress, would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! For he would heal him of his leprosy.” 2 kings 5:2-3.
*MESSAGE*
Not everyone that God uses has to be in the limelight. There are many people being used by God on daily basis that others do not know about. Nehemiah, for example, is known for rebuilding the walls of Jericho.
But before God could commit that task into his hand, he was just a cupbearer to King Artaxerxes of Babylon. All he did has cupbearer was to drink what the King was about to drink. If it was poisonous, then that was the end of his job—and his life for that matter. But he was faithful and God used him for greater things.
Then there was the obscure Jewish girl who influenced her unbelievable master, Naaman, to seek out Elisha, the prophet of Israel, to find a healing for his leprosy. She was just a girl, more like a house maid who served Naaman’s wife. Naaman on the other hand was a famous military figure. So this young girl told Naaman’s wife about Elisha: “If only my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria! For he would heal him of his leprosy” (2 kings 5:3). Naaman made the journey to Israel, and indeed he was healed.
This reminds us that God always has his representatives. He always has his people working behind the scenes. Will you make yourself available to Him today?
