Which Are You? A Servant or A Messenger?



A messenger is one who run errands that are beneficial to others, while A Servant is one who serves others; providing help and proffering solutions to their problems.

Anchor Scripture:{Hebrews 1:7} MSG Translation

"The messengers are winds, The Servants are tongues of fire."

Citing the above anchor scripture, it categorically states that messengers are winds; intangible and without a domain. The life of a messenger is determined by the specification or direction of others. A messenger is used and misused. A messenger is accrued with the "See Finish Syndrome" who is at the beck and call of everyone but himself. Even when he is fatigued, he has no say.
A messenger doesn't have any concrete assurance or insurance. Emergencies that spring up disorganizes his intended plan.

But in the case of a servant, His case is different.

A servant is a "tongue of fire" (blazing train) stationed in a domain to serve people and help those in dire need. He is never a wanderer like the messenger. Servants are richly rewarded by their masters if content with their work. When a servant tends to the needs of people, he is compensated. A servant is always sorted out for. A servant is strategically handpicked because he possesses in depth knowledge of a particular craft. He is a problem solver.

Cases like Joseph who worked as a servant and later thrown into prison, but exonerated himself by solving the problem of the king which entailed interpreting his dream is one to take to cognizance. (Genesis 41)

Also, Elisha on the other hand was a loyal servant to Elijah who served him diligently and rose up to accruing a double portioned anointing/manifestation of his master, Elijah, during his own leadership term. (2Kings Chapter 2)

The respective roles of a messenger and a servant can be termed as peasant roles because it entails being subordinate and selflessly sacrificing to meet the needs of others. But hey! apt service (servant hood) cannot be likened to errand runners (messengers).

It's okay to start as a messenger, but never retain the "messenger status" slot for a long time. Step up your game to acquiring the "servant-hood status" where every reward and benefit is rightfully credited to you in the course of service.


Have a Fab day Fam!

PLEASE

Image
The word "please" is a subtle cry for mercy. It expresses one's vulnerability. The phrase 'please' has reinstated businesses, work, cordial and intimate relationships. In the same vain, it has clouded the thinking abilities of individuals, thus handicapping them. These "handicap" could entail compromising to illegitimate business deal, subscribing to peer pressure, or in serious occasion, giving up one's moral values. Some have contacted venereal diseases because of please . It is true that vulnerability is a bridge to connection. But never forget that vulnerability is one of the ways. There are others means of attaining it. Connection in this context means legitimate links to self purpose. Please can be used in harmless or harmful contexts. Stay woke!

Who is the unequally yoked person? One who is unable to partner with you at a particular level. Failure to disassociate yourself from them will lead to sinking and eventual drowning. Anchor Scripture: { Proverbs 27:17 } "Iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.'' Ab initio, humans were not wired to live in isolation, they were wired to have companions who will help them in their daily lives. Everyone who accrues successes at different level was helped. Iron sharpens iron. Never been heard of that iron sharpen plastic or vice-versa, the iron will remain blunt and will be unable to operate at the realm it was designed to, while the plastic will be dissected into bitty parts. "Do not become partners with those who do not believe, for what fellowship does light have with darkness?"( 2 Corinthians 6:14- NET Bible ) This Biblical portion is one to ponder upon. Partnerships , Relationships , and Courtships are sensitive SHIPS that shouldn&#
