Timeless Truth
With Pastor Tope Oyeneye
Jacob - The Servant Of God
Scripture.
Genesis 32:10 KJV
"I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands".
Message:
Jacob was praying to God in Gen. 32v10 and said, he was not worthy of the least of all the mercies and of all truth, which God shewed to him, "Gods servant". Jacob was not a pastor, he was not a title holder but he was a servant of God. He was so confident about who he was, to the point he expressed it in prayer to God when he heard Esau (his twin Brother) that he cheated years ago was coming.
Jacob served God and man with everything. Anyone who says they are serving God, but there is no physical person on earth that they are ready to serve will never understand service. Whatever service you say you are doing to God, it must be visible and expressed to man. People who dont fear God usually express it as they relate with men (Lk 18v2). So, if you are really serving God, it will show in your service to people.
There is nobody in the Scriptures that became great that didn't serve God and people. Service is one of the ladders to greatness and relevance, anyone who cannot serve will never be served. Joseph served his father, served portiphar and then the whole Egypt. Moses served Pharaoh and then his father inlaw, David served his father, and served King Saul- his father inlaw.
Jacob served his parents, then served his father inlaw (Laban) for over 20 years. He said to his wives in Genesis 31:6 (KJV), "And ye know that with all my power I have served your father". Are you surprised that he increased, multiplied, became two bands and eventually emerged into a nation? Service is a multiplier, it is the key to relevance and honour.
