The Lord God of heaven, who took me from my father’s house and from the land of my family, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, ‘To your descendants I give this land,’ He will send His angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there. Genesis 24.7

Never refuse doing what you were ordered to do, for the Lord choses who He wants to bless with a task. It may be difficult for he who is not a true servant, but easy for he who is. Do not be frightened with the task that was commissioned to you. Certainly, in order to fulfill it, you will be guided in all ways, even in small details. However, at all times, may your clothes be white (Ecclesiastes 9.8), for God does not use sinners. 

When Abraham sent his servant to find a bride for Isaac, he talked about his past, when he was called in the land of Ur of the Chaldeans. Since he obeyed the Lord, the patriarch obtained a divine approval and was very much blessed. This reached his servant as well, for when Abraham opened his heart, his anointing also reached that man. Thus, he had the necessary strength to fulfill what he had been ordered to do. This is a secure way of making someone who is still immature in the faith to submit to God.

In the context of the patriarch, what was important was the work that the Most High promised to do through him and his seed: the Savior. Today, however, the main thing is to lead the Gospel to humanity. He entrusted this task to everyone who is called and confirmed to minister the Holy Message and its benefits of healing, deliverance, and forgiveness of sins. Therefore, even the personal problems of the messengers of the Good News are solved. Glory to God!

The servant of Abraham knew very well his character and his serious way of dealing with the subjects of God. Therefore, he was not led by discouragement or the fear of failure. What mattered to him was to be successful in that task. Do not take these words as an accusation, but an exhortation for you not to be considered evil and careless. Fulfill your task with pleasure!

It is questionable when someone receives a task and does nothing. The true children of God do not seek their own interest, but serve the powerful Lord of Hosts. Whoever is called to pray for the prayer requests delivered at church by paper, phone calls, emails, etc, must fulfill their order, as did Mary, when she gave birth to the Lord Jesus. This person should thank the Father for this mission and fulfill it under His guidance. 

In God’s work, there is no place for artists, who assume certain ways to demonstrate spirituality and become known for doing so. This is falsehood, and those who act in such a way will not remain in the Father’s house. Fraud belongs to the devil, therefore run away from everything that promotes him, and not the Lord. To Him be the glory today and forever.

Abraham guaranteed that God would send His angel to bring success to his servant’s task. The Most High still does the same thing today. Therefore, do not avoid doing what the Most High ordered you to do. Whoever refuses to be a servant will not be answered, because of his evil.

In Christ, with love,
