MY SERVANT ZACHARIAH
And it came to pass that while he executed the
priest’s office before God in the order of His
course…And there appeared unto him an
angel…Luke 1:9-11
Over the years the number of priests multiplied,
so they used to determine which priest to serve,
and when, by casting lot. So, it could be once in a
lifetime opportunity. To a Godly man like
Zachariah this might be the biggest event of his
life filled with enormous anticipation. It obvious
that Zachariah has given up on the issue of child
bearing yet he remains faithful in the place of his
assignment serving as a priest in the temple.
Here was a man completely sold out to God and
His work, seeking first God’s kingdom and His
righteous even if every other thing seems not to
be added to him. When I was growing up, we use
to sing this song in the choir, the lyrics goes thus;
“if I suddenly wake up and found that the heaven
is not true I still believe you Lord because you live
inside me, you are my reason for living” the
question you should ask yourself is who or what
is your reason for living? This will change a whole
lot of things in your life. Are you living for God or
for self? Do you know he sent you here on a
mission, an assignment, a purpose, an urgent
task?
Are you that fellow that just spends your time
anyhow every day, suiting yourself and your
desire, forgetting that you don’t own anything,
everything you have has been given to you – a
man can receive nothing, except it be given him
from heaven John 3:27 - and you will give
account? May God flood your eyes of
understanding with light, may you find your true
self in God and be able to maximize every
opportunity he has been given you. Amen
Let’s quickly consider God’s servant, Zachariah.
Many people are acting as God’s master and not
as His servant in the place of their assignment, is
it in ministry or in cooperate world. What if
Zachariah decides not to go perform his priestly
service at the temple that day probably Because
of tiredness and discouragement? You know
what that means, some persons skip going to
work some days for flimsy reasons not knowing
their biggest opportunity or job may show up
that day. What if Elisabeth had hindered him
from going to the temple that day. There are
women who discourage their husbands from
serving God. May you not marry the wrong
person in Jesus name. Amen. Thank God he
wasn’t found missing at the place of his
assignment. The angels met him at the place of
service that particular day. Your own angel may
be people God has position around to give you
ideas, counsel, information that will solve the
challenges in your organization long standing
issues. One information can deliver to you in a
day what you have not been able to achieve in a
decade, May God found you readily available
always at the place of your assignment. Amen.
How many brethren have looked back in our days
because they felt they had nothing to show to
people around that they are following God? Their
temporal lack and affliction had swallowed them
up. They have run to the devil and his servants
