God’s Bigger And Higher Purpose. 3
And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know.
1Corinthians 8:2. NKJV.”
Sesame oil, though it has it’s unique qualities will lose it’s name whenever it is mixed with Rose or Violet. It will then be called Rose/Violet oil, never again will it be called Sesame oil. In order to access God’s bigger and higher purpose, don’t lose your distinction, don’t just serve for it’s sake, serve where you could be a plus in a big way.
If you’re assisting in any capacity, do a good job, your place in history is not complete unless you make the most of where you are! Lewis Latimer, (1848-1928,) a young black man works with the notable inventor, Thomas Edison, it was him who invented the filament that makes Edison invention a reality. When you make others great, that contribution cannot be taken away or given to another.
Saul, in order to enter into God’s purpose maintained balance between assignment and family concerns. He cares for his family and decided to go back home when his efforts to find the lost donkeys prove abortive. He didnt have an erroneous view that since he was on errand for his family, that is an excuse not look back. This family mindset connect him with Samuel! A good man will not only provide for his family, he must be concerned about their emotional needs, and not be consumed about providing things, for his person will be more appreciated than things.” Therefore, do not give excuses of work to stay away from your immediate family, you are first a companion before being a provider.
Besides, Saul listened to the advice of a servant, this is another plus to him. He may have wandered aimlessly and missed God’s plan if he is like Nabal who doesn’t listened to advise. A leader must have a listening hear to go far with God. A wise man rightly said; “if spouses can listen to silent murmur of discontent, they won’t have to endure the loud noises of rebellion that follows!” Naaman would have died a leper if he refused the advise of the little slave girl to seek the God of Israel for healing.
