Like his master Christ Jesus, Prophet Abraham Richard Bisaso yet again modestly took his position at the altar and said, “My only job is to serve God’s Will and His people because a servant is meant to do what others do not want to do. Behold here I am; a mere servant at your service.”
Humbly and guided by Holy Spirit, he ushered the believers into the message of the day titled, “God can use anything to speak a man of faith.” With reference from the book of 2Kings 4:24-38: Elisha said to Gehazi, Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand and run. If you meet anyone, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not answer. Lay my staff on the boy’s face. (NIV)
Molding flesh onto the insightful message, the Seer analyzed the scenario of Prophet Elisha, his staff, Gehazi his servant and the dead boy as a class room that God used to teach His Children; that He can use anything to speak to a man of faith. He explained that the Prophet, his staff and the servant Gehazi were all faith materials God used to bring back Shunammite’s dead son to life meaning that to a man of faith God can use anything to deliver him; it can be a body, an object, a word or even a Bible.
The situations we are crying about are only big before us but not to God, someone has been in that situation before and God delivered them from it through faith materials. Prophet Abraham Richard emphasised that the same God of the ancient times is still the same today; He still speaks and heals.
Today though, the story seems different, Christians have failed to pay ear to the Lord, we are so busy in pursuit of possessions and also much accustomed to religious ways to notice Him speaking to us through nature. If God used a donkey to speak to Balaam, (Numbers 22:30) who says that He cannot use it again today to speak to a man of faith?
It is not cult to meditate about God through nature because from the beginning God has always used nature to speak to man, what causes the difference is our faith level. Citing the example of our everyday life, the Prophet paused a question, who among you eats food that does not come from the soil? “Understanding brings deliverance,” the Prophet asserted.
Naaman is a clear example for he received his healing through bathing in the waters of the Jordan River. In the same way, if we believe in the God who healed Naaman we ought to value and honour the Heavenly water because through this medium many like Naaman have received their deliverances.
The Prophet re-echoed that a man with a pure heart will always hear God speak to him through anything around him. Such a man’s every prayer will be answered because he will see Christ in whatever that is around him. However, the fact that our hearts are wounded with pain, fear etal it has failed us to receive from God; we pray out of fear but not in faith.
Summing up the eye opening message, the Prophet advised the believers that, “Believe in Christ and believe that He can speak to you anytime through any medium; He Himself became the faith material that died on the cross to take our sins away and to bring us back to our heavenly Father.”
Prayer: Son of David, Christ Jesus purify my heart and make me a proper faith material in your hands.
