PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE’S THE ISSUE OF PRIORITY
TOPIC: THE ISSUE OF PRIORITY
This may serve as an Interesting reading for all Pastors, Ministers of God and Workers in His Vineyard!
But there is something else that I need to talk very quickly because this Particular Passage (1 Kings 19:19) is loaded! – And that is what you will call “The Issue of Priority”.
Because 1 Kings 19: 15-17 that I read earlier so that we can understand Verse 19 (1 Kings 19:19) – God told Elijah what He wanted him to do:
1. Go and anoint Hazael, King over Syria – That is Assignment No 1.
2. Anoint Jehu, King over Israel – That is Assignment No 2.
3. Then anoint Elisha as a Prophet in your Room – That is Assignment No 3.
And if you know anything about Elijah, he is “The Original Yes-Man” – When God speaks, he obeys!
But here in 1 Kings 19:19; we find Elijah going straight to Elisha – Hazael, you can wait; Jehu sit down I’m coming. First let me deal with my Successor!
So, this is telling you that your son, your Legacy is very, very crucial! – We are talking of the “Issue of Priority”. Charity must begin at home!
Are you a Child of God? Are you already Going Higher? And are you leaving your children behind? Your Child/Family is your “Priority No 1.
God Himself said that anyone who is going to be a Pastor, a Minister of God; must first of all qualify from home! – He must have his home in order!
Kings are for the Nation; your children are for you!
Don’t forget that when Absalom died who had dethroned his father et cetera et cetera. When Absalom died and the whole Nation was rejoicing that the Rebellion is over.
What was David doing? – He was weeping: Absalom my son. Because the Nation is for everybody but your family is your own.
Beginning from this moment, Pay any Price that will bring your children into the Kingdom of God because they represent your tomorrow!
