Servanthood
(Pastor Tan)
(Pastor Tan)
Today's sermon is about the story of Rebekah.
Genesis 24:24 is says here:
So she said to him, “I am the daughter of Bethuel, Milcah’s son, whom she bore to Nahor.
Your outside will determine your inside!
i come to serve & not to be served.
if you're feeling grumpy on the inside, you will reflect it on the outside.
therefore, by being humble & wanting to serve, you will show it on the outside by actions too!
The 7 Quality of Servanthood
Servanthood is...
Servanthood is...
1. WILLING
Genesis 24:18 it says here:
So she said, “Drink, my lord.” Then she quickly let her pitcher down to her hand, and gave him a drink.
- Rebekah didn't serve with an ulterior motive
- Energy will always follow a Willing heart!
- Fatigue will always follow an Unwilling Heart
And I bowed my head and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the way of truth to take the daughter of my master’s brother for his son.
God is looking for WILLING Christian!
Salvation, Healing, Deliverance & Revival will come to a WILLING person! :D
2. EXCELS
Genesis 24:19 it says here:
And when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, “I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.”
- All are starters while Few are finishers
- Wanna do something? Do it well then!
- To do it well means to do beyond the Expectations
3. SWIFT
Genesis 24:18, 20 it says here:
So she said, “Drink, my lord.” Then she quickly let her pitcher down to her hand, and gave him a drink
Then she quickly emptied her pitcher into the trough, ran back to the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.
- Speed is important to a good servant
- God his a servant himself & He immediately appear when people needed Him
- Sometimes timing is very important. Why?
- Because God will plan & let people with different needs appear in your life
- Higher value than MONEY is TIME
- So to keep someone awaiting is no good to a servant at all!
Rebekah had to walk up & down the steps of well estimated 3 story high. 10 camels is estimated to drink around 1060 Litres of water. Which means she had to walk up & down with a heavy bucket to carry water for all 10 camels for around 50 times! How convenient is that?
- Servanthood will always eat into your time, comfort zone & resting time
Genesis 24:18 it says here:
So she said, “Drink, my lord.” Then she quickly let her pitcher down to her hand, and gave him a drink
- The word, tone, facial expression & body language showed your willingness.
6. WORK
- Open doors for destiny
- How you serve People & God
- Ministry is serving to all, whatever it takes!
- Destiny is how you served & doors opened up for you!
So it was, when the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden nose ring weighing half a shekel, and two bracelets for her wrists weighing ten shekels of gold
If Rebekah didn't serve whole heatedly with all her hardwork, how would she be able to receive all those prosperity?
Pastor Tan serve as a labor man carrying amplifier when he was only 16 year old. It was all his hardwork that made him seen by Pastor Kong. So now he serve as a Pastor. It all started out with WORK!
7. CARING FOR PEOPLE
- Who knows you might be serving an Angel?
- Humble yourself & treat people well!
So they sent away Rebekah their sister and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant and his men.
