Where you are determines who see’s you…
As a follow up to the last blog that has
stirred up a lot of interesting response and many have been encouraged. I was
for the ladies but it seems a lot of men read it. We this one will help you to
position yourself for the man of God that is prepared for you. I encourage you
to read the whole of Genesis 24 but specifically the verses below.
Genesis 24:14 And he made the
camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at the time of evening,
the time when women go out to draw water. 12 And he said, “O Lord, God of my master Abraham,
please grant me success today and show steadfast love to my master Abraham. 13 Behold, I
am standing by the spring of water, and the daughters of the men of the city
are coming out to draw water. 14 Let the young woman to whom I shall say,
‘Please let down your jar that I may drink,’ and who shall say, ‘Drink, and I
will water your camels’—let her be
the one whom you have appointed for your servant Isaac. By this I shall know that you have shown
steadfast love to my master.” 15 Before he had finished speaking, behold,
Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah,
the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her water jar on her
shoulder. 16 The young woman was very attractive in appearance, a maiden whom no man
had known. She went down to the spring and filled her jar and came up. 17 Then the
servant ran to meet her and said, “Please give me a little water to drink from
your jar.”18 She said, “Drink, my lord.” And she quickly let down her jar upon
her hand and gave him a drink. 19 When she had finished giving him a drink, she
said, “I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished
drinking.” 20 So she quickly
emptied her jar into the trough and ran again to the well to draw water, and
she drew for all his camels. 21 The man gazed at her in silence to learn
whether the Lord had prospered his journey or not.
22 When the camels had finished drinking, the man
took a gold ring weighing a half shekel, and
two bracelets for her arms weighing ten gold shekels, 23 and said,
“Please tell me whose daughter you are. Is there room in your father's house
for us to spend the night?” 24 She said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel
the son of Milcah, whom she bore to Nahor.”
This is an interesting passage of
scripture that graphically brings out my point in this blog. Where you are
determines who see’s you, so if you are going to get a good man you better be
around some good men. If you are hanging around some thugs and thieves you will
end up being like them and marrying one of them. If you hang around some
players and cheats guess who you will see and who will see you? The principle
of company cannot be violated if you are to succeed not just in marriage but in
all areas. The book of Proverbs says he that finds a wife finds a good thing… you have to finable and
worth finding, you also have to position yourself to be found by the right
person by being in the right place.
If you are going to hang around your room
wearing your pajamas with your hair in a net you better be ready for advanced
spinsterhood. But if you are ready to step into your meaningful relationship
then read on. I want to briefly share from extracts from one of my books that
will be coming out in 2014 “Mamma I got me a man!” God spoke to me a few years
ago and gave me 25 principles that are guaranteed to help you get yourself a ma
that will marry you. My wife and I will do a seminar and share these principles
as we launch the book so get ready for it.
Please notice that when Eliezer prayed
God answered with the arrival of Rebekah who was the appointed woman for Isaac
(See verse 14). To see success in this area that is key to your success in life
there must be some prayer going on. Listen to the voice of the Lord and obey. I
know there is a lot of controversy about whether there is a “right person” for
each person to marry, my focus is not to argue that one here we discuss that in
the book however if you can pray about a job, a car or a house and God leads
you to the right one surely He can lead me to the right man or lead the right
man to me. This is a good place to lift up those manicured hands and shout,
“He’s on the way, and my greatest blessing ever is at hand today”
Remember Rebekah just got up and was busy
about her fathers business as usual but this day was not like other days, she
was in for a pleasant surprise. If she had not providentially gone to the well
that day she could have slowed down or hindered perhaps even lost her blessing
to another. Being by the well at that time was the best place for her on that
day and the rest is history.
I want you to notice that when she
arrived she did not pull up her skirt a little and drop her top (We have a lot
of drop tops these days) Perhaps that’s a joke men would understand as women
don’t know much about cars. She got busy serving; the helper that she was
naturally manifested and that got her the place in the history books. After
serving so well she is given lots of gold; 15 and a half shekels to be
specific. Wow here is something you determine your value by what you do with
yourself. Don’t wait for someone to determine what you are worth. The gold
released here was only a small part of the treasure that was carried on nine
camels.
Notice the little word “quickly” that
appears in verse 18 and 20, she was quick to serve and this opened the door for
her miracle as Eliezer was observing her every action. By the way Eliezer is a
type of the Holy Spirit. Her diligence causes the big question to be asked,
“Whose daughter are you?” Check Ruth chapter two Boaz asked whose damsel is
that? You got to make heads turn girl, you can do it too.
She had these amazing qualities that
perhaps you need to check if you have them
She was attractive
She was a virgin (Purity)
She was responsive to needs
She was hard working
She understood honor
She was under a covering
She was humble
My list might be intimidating because you
think there are two or three things that you don’t possess. Well you can work
on them now and get them sorted until you score seven out of seven.
Because this is a blog I have to stop get
my book and learn more all I wanted to say was where you are determines who see’s
you. God had to bring my wife 450km to a little town to position her so that I could
see her. But God had to position me in the spirit so that I could see her. Guys
I will get you on the next one when I write, “Guess what I saw”
Bottom line she got married and so will
you.
