Water Your Camels
Let me just remind you of one thing he reminded us of yesterday before he fired on. Jesus did not come to restore dominion mandate, it was not lost via Adam's disobedience, only the spiritual was lost, the natural remains, hence, if you dig well, you will find water, if you sow, you will reap, but you are better off when you are a believer. He said Jesus did not die on the cross so that we can be rich, if you are lazy, yet you are a believer, you will still be poor.
Gen 24: 12, 19 'And he said, “O Lord, God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today, and show lovingkindness (faithfulness) to my master Abraham. 19. When she had given Eliezer a drink, she said, “I will also draw water for your camels until they have finished drinking.”' - AMP
The test Rebecca was put through was not that of beauty but of character, he started. The scripture confirmed that she was beautiful, but beyond the beauty, she had character, and that was exhibited in her actions of so much care for a stranger. She gave the stranger water to drink, that looks simple, a cup, 2 or at most 5. But then she watered his camels, we were told how much camels can drink the precious day and I told you yesterday, she used her pot to water 10 camels that will drink 150 to 200 litres of water each, how many times could she have moved back and forth to draw from the well, not fetch from river, but draw from well. Her chastity, pious and generous character was exhibited. She was so accommodating that she agreed to house the stranger and his camels for the night, what a way of behaviour. All these she did, not knowing that she was watering her camels and not just Eliazer's camels.
Before Eliazer, Abraham's servant left, he asked his master if the found wife refused to come with him, what next? Abraham told him, whatever the case is, be sure NEVER to let Isaac return from the promised land. Many of us have returned from the promised land, forgetting the promise, compromising our standards because of what we are looking for and returning to our vomit, just to get food, wife, husband, job, money, luxuries of life and the likes. Abraham warned his servant not to let his son return, even if he will remain unmarried, it is better to be unmarried than return from the promised land, we must not have any reason to return.
Rebecca's camels were camels that will relocate you from your present location to your place of destiny. But you must water the camels at one point, you don't have to know the Camels are yours to water them. Your present well, location, place of work and where you offer daily services is where you will meet your Camels, if you don't work well in another man's business, you will not do better at yours or own one at all. You have to house the camels that will take you to the place of posterity, entertain strangers, you may just be watering your Camels.
It is impossible for me to capture all he said in this piece, but there is a part 2 on Sunday, Isaac's camels, don't miss that, but before then, we are praising the King by 10pm tonight.
Prayer: Father, let the servant bring the camels that will take me to my place of destiny come to my well to water, Amen!
