THE DEW OF HERMON (Monday 23^rd November, 2015)

Mal 3:17-18

And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.

KJV

There is an adage in my place that says “a child that runs errand eats with dirty hands but a child that refuses to run errand eats with clean hands” (Aj’ uchẹ ki aj’ ẹwñ ọwọ iwa, ak’ uchẹ ki aj’ẹwñ ọwọ hioolo). I contended this saying when I was growing up thinking it was injustice against the errand running child because I felt he that runs errand should eat with clean hands. But one day my mother had to explain it to me: the child who runs errand is cherished by the parents so much so that when it is time for food they simply call him to clean his hands and come and eat. He will dust his hands and come for food, which is often in one bowl for everybody. The child who refuses errand will also come to eat food but they will look at his hands very well and ask him to “go clean your hands very well for it is still dirty”. He will run and wash his hands very well but when he comes to sit and eat they will scrutinize his hands and tell him there is dirt in some parts of the hand and that he has to go and wash again. They could do this several times until finally they will ask him to eat for his hands are well cleaned but at this time is either the food is remaining very small or it has finished. Thus the child that runs errand eats while the one that refuses errand goes hungry. When you look at these two children, one is distinctly well fed while the other is underfed. The scripture above is saying God will distinguish between you and others. You shall return and will certainly notice the difference between those that serve God and those that serve Him not. This week, God will distinguish you among your peers! In your academic, family, business, health, job etc, God will distinguish you and the difference will show! So shall it be in Jesus name!  PEACE!
