(Luke 16:10, NIV)
Pastor Joel said ...
In scripture, the prophet Elisha told a man named Naaman to go wash in the Jordan River and he would be cured of his leprosy. Naaman was the Captain of an army, a very influential man. He didn’t want to go wash in the dirty Jordan River.
His attitude was, “That’s absurd. That’s little. That’s insignificant. That’s not going to make any difference.”
His assistant said, “Naaman, if he would have asked you to do something hard, something big, you would do it. Why don’t you do this small thing?” Naaman finally went and washed in the Jordan, and he was totally healed.
I wonder how many of us would see our breakthrough if we would just do the small thing that God is asking us to do.
People think, “Oh, it doesn’t really matter. I’ll do it one day.”
But realize today, those little things mean a lot. They are keeping you from the fullness of your destiny. It may be something small,
but your act of obedience will cause God to release the big thing that He has in store.
撒母耳說: 耶和華喜悅燔祭和平安祭, 豈如喜悅人聽從他的話呢? 聽命勝於獻祭, 順從勝於公羊的脂油. 撒母耳記 15:22
When God asks you to do it, do it right then.
When God told David to go face Goliath, the Bible says David ran to the battlefield. Do you know why? If David would have thought about it long enough, he would have talked himself out of it. If he had gone over all the facts, figures, how much bigger Goliath was, how much more experience he had, David would have lost his courage and missed his destiny.
When God asks you to do something, don’t overanalyze it. Don’t reason it out.
If you think about it too long, you can miss your destiny. Don’t think, “Why should I buy their dinner? They’ve got more than I do.” Or “Why should I apologize? I apologized first last time.” Or, “Why should I be good to them, Joel? They’re not being good to me.”
No, quit making excuses. Quit reasoning it out. Quit thinking that you heard God wrong and just do it.
Learn to be quick to obey and open the door for the blessing God has in store for you!
