KINGDOM ADMINISTERING - Kingdom Administering Series 005
I Kings 17:9, KJV
"Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee."
Where God wants us to get to is where the resources in our hands and our barns await kingdom administering. God will call for it as He sees need. When He does, it is yours to give to whomsoever He ordains or instructs you to give to. How I wish all Christians will know this so that when they have need, they'll rightly turn to he in whose hands God has kept their resources. Turning to the wrong person (uncommanded) is what has led to the many rejections that many Christians have come to take offence at. They'll say, "I know he is able yet he didn't give me." Why should he give you when you're not the one he's waiting for. Every resources in heaven has owners. So is assignment. David wanted to build the temple but God restrained him and called it Solomon's assignment (I Chron.22:8-10). If a label carrying your name is not on a package, will delivery service mistakenly bring it to your house? When an angel brought a package as answer to Daniel's prayer, was it couriered to Shadrach or any of the other two friends? Everything has designation! Then, why should we make a mess of divine administering of resources?
If you turn to me, I'm not always obligated to help you. That's because you might turn to me when the resources in my hands await another fellow. Should I disobey God by not being a good manager of the resources He made me steward of because I want to keep human relationship? No! So, start by being led right to the commanded fellow first of all. Are you a minister or a Christian in need? You can ask God to send men to meet your needs or ask God to show you who can.
If Christendom operates like this, no one will be hungry neither will A have more bread to eat and spare at the expense of B who has none basically because A keeps collecting what was meant for others. God is looking for obedient disciples that He can keep resources with who when He snaps a finger will release it to the commanded who now approaches him. In same manner, if you too will have your needs met, mark those who are commanded for your sake. Unless they're put under command for you, they may be helpless to help you. So, let us all learn the meekness of running only when we've been commanded. This way, resources will be well distributed and everybody in the body of Christ or this colony called kingdom will be provided for.
PRAYER: I refuse to run helter-skelter. I hear the Shepherd's voice guaranteeing my leading.
