Accept God-sent containers

to prosper in life, he or she has to acknowledge the existence of a man of God who is carrying his blessing.
Blessings and prosperity are packaged in the life of the Lord’s servants.
Accessing such packages, one has to be connected to a man of God. In 1 John 4 v 20, Jesus tells us that no man can be able to love God whom he hath never seen, we have to love that whom the Lord had sent.
What it means is if a nation accepts an individual sent from God it has received God Himself. My question then is when are the people of this world going to love God if the scriptures are saying you cannot love God whom you have never seen?
God is love and when He expresses His love He does so by sending an individual carrying His love.
We cannot talk of miracles, signs and wonders of God without mentioning the one whom God is using.
It takes a man’s integrity, humility and composure for that man to be approved by God.
A lot of people today want the prophetic and yet they don’t like the prophets. How can you love the medication from a certain clinic and yet you abhor the doctor who is issuing the prescription?
It is high time people of this world are educated and begin to believe in God through His word. Prophets are God’s containers. In them are hidden treasures of God for us to benefit from.
In as much as we would benefit from the contents, we must learn to treasure them for them to keep the contents safe for us. I remember very well in the book of 2 Kings 4 v 8, the Shunemite woman built a room and furnished it for Prophet Elisha to find rest whenever he saw it necessary.
The woman had perceived that Elisha was a Holy man of God and she made sure that the container could not continue to live in the mountain without decent accommodation.
When she respected the container of the anointing,   the reproach of her barrenness was taken away from her and she conceived and gave birth to a baby boy.
Many people don’t have the ability to hear the voice of God directly all the time and that is why God through His love had to send His servants, the prophets.
A prophet amplifies the voice of the Holy Spirit, but he is not the Holy Spirit. Listening to the voice of a prophet is thus listening to God Himself. Looking at a prophet you are actually looking at the residential home of God whereby you should anticipate meeting God at anytime.
For you to show great reverence for the contents you start by acknowledging the container. Without the container you cannot be able to get hold of the contents.
Jesus had to be packaged in a human body for Him to be relevant to us, in the physical and tangible world, so are the prophets. In Mark 10 v 46, Jesus had to be close physically to Bartimaeus for the miracles of his eyes to locate him. Jesus had to be both spiritual and physical in order to heal this man.
Jesus had to be packaged in a human body for Him to be relevant in the physical world.
Today, He is still the same as yesterday, He is spiritual and He gave us some containers, physical bodies which we can still touch in order to reach Him.
In our churches today, we must learn to appreciate the containers who are the carriers of the most valuable anointing of God. What we do with the container is what determines what the anointing will do for us.
Every container must get the value it is worth depending on what are its contents. The number of people who drink Coca Cola determines how good and refreshing it is, it might not mean that other drinks are bad.
Stay put wherever you are planted by God, but learn to value and respect the containers there.
For you to keep drinking refreshing contents learn to respect the container and keep it well.
The container has to be good looking for it to continue marketing its contents. The year is coming to an end what have you done for the container you are drinking from? Don’t hide the name of the contents by hiding the container. The name of the contents are written on the container, keep the container well.
Zimbabwe, let us pray for a successful rain season.
