WHEN THE BIG TENDER COMES - Seek Right Series 003
Mark 6:22-23, KJV
"22 And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me whatsoever thou wilt, and I will give it thee. 23 And he sware unto her, Whatsoever thou shalt ask of me, I will give it thee, unto the half of my kingdom."
The big tender will come. I already said that during the beginning of this year that opportunities will come your way but will you be sensitive, well placed and readied to catch it? Your tender will come. Your time will come. An open cheque shall hit your table but then, you must be ready to catch it. It is Herod who has it to give who organizes an in-house party for many guests on his birthday. They eat and drink. The partying is loud. To top it all, a guest artiste is invited. She is known for her graceful and impressive dancing. She has one thousand turnings and twists in her custody. Such is she who's fit to dance and perform before royalty who no man should disappoint. Until any is sure of himself and his calling, such is not brought into the chamber and made to appear before kings. Or else, those who bring them and the fellow brought may both incur his wrath. A moral that we all must prove to be sound professionals in what we profess is our thing. That's when our gift could make a room for us in truth.
The guest artiste dances and shakes all to their foundations. The applause in the house is full of revival and the whisper is, "she deserves to be praised." The King having being impressed brought out his cheque book in the spirit of that celebration. He's ready to prove how great he is. He said in the full glare of all. "Ask of me anything even to the half of my kingdom and I shall do it."
Since this guest minister has been going for shows, this is likely the first time somebody says, "determine what you'll get. Name your price!" She was confused right away. She never prepared for this. Immediately, she withdraw to seek counsel of a forerunner on how to utilize this opportunity and draw on this tender. And she proved having been taught. How did we know? We were told what she asked almost empty the king's account to the extent that he wasn't pleased (Mark 6:26). Kai! This lady couldn't have sounded that depth on her own.
Solomon's opportune time came and this lady's also arrive, this is a pointer that God will come for you too. Your blank cheque is coming. However, how ready are you? Are you prepared? Do you know what to pray and ask for at such tender? Do you know what to draw from the well even if you're presented with opportunity to draw? Do you have those guiding you and teaching you on what next to do after an occurrence of an event? If you don't, you'll always be shortchanged and you might not utilize the biggy tenders that'll come your way this year. God is saying, "be ready and then have a support system by your side." The Bible tells me of a tree whose leaves never wither and which brings out his fruit in his season (Psalm 1:3)." Don't think this tree achieves this on his own. It's basically because of its siting. We were again told that, "it's a tree planted by the riverside." That means what keeps it running, productive and never dry in all seasons (including dry or drought) is the availability of water and consequent his sucking of it. This year, I see you being prospered by counsel and counsellors by your side. They shall do you good and not harm and in them you shall safely trust to maximize all your tenders. Don't rely on your own understanding only. It's always in the multitude of counselors, there's safety (Prov.11:14).
PRAYER: Lord, teach me on the usage of the wisdom of others. May I open to what experience, professionalism and revelation of others could teach me. May you always come to my aid through men.
BIBLE IN A YEAR: Genesis 18:16-19:38; Matthew 6:25-7:14; Psalm 8:1-9; Proverbs 2:6-15
