Hear the Servant

 


We are living in the world where people acts like God, consider themselves as Gods and show themselves as God to others. At the same time, we see some believers going after people and compel to take a dip in the water to be free from all the problems. Some visits houses and pray to get money.

What does Jesus tell about His servants? In Luke 10, Jesus calls 72 people and asked them to go and witness. He told them to preach peace, heal the sick (pray) and if they provide you food, take it. Servants of God should have a main objective to proclaim peace to the place they visit. So the first quality you can find in a genuine servant of God will be that he is a man of peace. He won’t visit you to divide your family, or relatives, or church. You can listen to him and his next quality will be to pray for your health and safety. That’s why Jesus is commanding His servants to go and heal the sick.

In 2 Kings 5, we see an army commander called Naaman, listening to a servant girl, went to see Elisha. Naaman had leprosy and he was expecting Elisha to do some great miracle for healing. But Elisha sent a messenger and told him to wash in Jordan seven times. He felt embarrassed to do so. But then he listened to his servants and went. The seventh time he went to the river, he got healed.

 A servant of God will be glorifying the cross and the sacrifice of Christ instead of his personal achievements. Listen to the ones who boast about Christ, not about himself. (Galatians 6).

Now days it is difficult to find a perfect servant of God. Lots of fake people are around for fulfilling their own personal needs. In the midst of these, we can recognize servants of God by the way they glorify Jesus and the peace and peaceful solutions they give after much prayer. May The Lord enable you to find these servants and get motivated to be one among them. May God bless you!
