Topic: Unusual Messengers [Monday 28, August 2017]

Memorise: “And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.” - 1 Kings 17:4

Read: 1 Kings 17:1-5

1 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.

2 And the word of the LORD came unto him, saying,

3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.

4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.

5 So he went and did according unto the word of the LORD: for he went and dwelt by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan.

Bible In One Year: Ezekiel 13-15. Hymn: Sing Hymn 11

MESSAGE:

Messengers are stewards often sent to speak, act, or deliver a message on behalf of their master. In addition to the angelic beings that God sends as messengers to speak, deliver messages, or carry out specific assignments, He also uses humans and other living or non-living beings as messengers.

The purpose of God's legitimate messengers is always to inform, enable, empower and guide the people of God. But they are sent occasionally to punish. I pray that you will never do anything to provoke divine judgment in Jesus' Name.

The use of supernatural beings and natural elements as God's messengers therefore shows God as the Lord of Hosts, with the special ability to make all things work in favour of His beloved children.

Therefore, give your life to Jesus today, and become one of God's beloved. Then you can be sure that all things will begin to work together for your good according to the Word of God in Romans 8:28.

Prayer Point: Father, please command all things to work together for my good and the fulfilment of my destiny in the Name of Jesus.
