Dāsnums un viesmīlība atver durvis Dieva palīdzībai

The generosity and hospitality that opens doors for God’s intervention

Sveicināti, dārgie draugi!

Es ar prieku sveicinu jūs rubrikā ”Ikdienas vārds garīgajam stiprinājumam”.
Šodien es gribētu parunāt ar jums par viesmīlības un dāsnuma svarīgumu. Princips, ar kuru es šodien gribu dalīties ar jums, skanēs šādi:dāsnums un viesmīlība atver durvis Dieva palīdzībai. Paskatīsimies, kā šis princips darbojās Ābrahāma dzīvē.

„Un Tas kungs parādījās viņam pie Mamres ozoliem, kad tas dienas tveicē sēdēja savas telts durvīs. Un viņš pacēla savas acis un skatījās, un raugi, trīs vīri stāvēja viņa priekšā. Tos ieraudzījis, viņš steidzās tiem pretim no telts durvīm, noliecās līdz zemei un sacīja: „Mans Kungs, ja es esmu atradis labvēlību tavās acīs, tad , lūdzams, neej savam kalpam garām. Es likšu atnest drusku ūdens, ko nomazgāt kājas, tad apmeties zem šī koka. Un es dabūšu kumosu maizes, ka jūs varat savas sirdis stiprināt, pēc jūs varat atkal doties ceļā, jo kādā citā nolūkā tad jūs būtu iegriezušies pie sava kalpa?” Un tie teica: „Labi, dari, kā tu esi sacījis.”
Un tie sacīja viņam: „Bet kur ir Sāra, tava sieva?” Viņš atbildēja: „Lūk, teltī.”
Bet tas sacīja: „Es atgriezīšos pie tevis pēc gada šinī laikā, un redzi, tavai sievai Sārai būs dēls.” Bet Sāra stāvēja, klausīdamās pie telts durvīm, kas bija aiz viņiem. ( 1. Mozus, 18: 1-5, 9-10).

Kā mēs redzam šajā Rakstu vietā, svētības Ābrahāma dzīvē nebija nejaušas, tās atnāca paša Ābrahāma rīcības dēļ. Jā, mēs zinām, ka Dievs pats suverēni izlemj, kuru svētīt un kuru nesvētīt. Tomēr arī mēs varam kaut ko darīt, lai ietekmētu Dieva izvēli un atvērtu durvis Dieva svētībai.
Bībelē lasām, ka Ābrahāms savā namā uzņēma trīs vīrus, tos pabaroja un svētīja, nomazgāja tiem kājas un atdeva pašu labāko, kas viņam bija. Ābrahāms par to neko negaidīja pretī. Taču Dieva vārds vienmēr piepildās, tāpēc Dievs nevarēja nesvētīt Ābrahāmu par šādu viņa rīcību. Ir teikts, ka tad, kad mēs dodam nabagiem, mēs aizdodam Tam Kungam (Sālamana pamācības, 19:17). Tā ir patiesība, ka mēs nespējam iedot vairāk, kā to spēj Dievs.
Tātad Dievs svētīja Ābrahāmu un pildīja solījumu, uz kuru Ābrahāms tik ilgi bija gaidījis, tādā mērā, kādā pats Ābrahāms atvēra savu sirdi un sava nama durvis šiem vīriem.
Kad viesi ēda, Dieva Vārds atskanēja Ābrahāmam, un šie vīri jautāja:

Bet kur ir Sāra, tava sieva?” Viņš atbildēja: „Lūk, teltī.” Bet tas sacīja: „Es atgriezīšos pie tevis pēc gada šinī laikā, un redzi, tavai sievai Sārai būs dēls.” Bet Sāra stāvēja, klausīdamās pie telts durvīm, kas bija aiz viņiem.

Pateicoties Ābrahāma viesmīlībai, atskanēja Vārds no Dieva, kurš kļuva par pēdējo soli pretim Ābrahāma dēla Īzāka piedzimšanai.

Ir tik svarīgi, lai mēs sāktu pielietot šo principu savā dzīvē un caur to iniciētu svētības un pārmaiņas savā dzīvē. Ir tik svarīgi, lai caur viesmīlību un dāsnumu mēs iniciētu brīnumus un dievišķo iejaukšanos mūsu situācijās. Atveriet savas sirdis citu vajadzībām, atveriet savus namus, palīdziet tiem, kuri šodien piedzīvo grūtības, un tad jūs redzēsiet, ka Dievs jūs dāsni atalgos.
Lai Dievs jūs šodien svētī!

  • Everything that gets into God’s hands multiplies

    For several days now we have been discussing the how the gift when it is used makes room for us and takes us before great people. When the gift is used it broadens our possibilities and destroys limitations. Thank God for creating us just the way we are.Dear friend, you have been given the things you need to start your supernatural ministry. Do not view your gift as being something small and insignificant. When Jesus told His disciples to feed the multitude, they argued with Him, saying: “We have here only five loaves and two fish”. I guess the disciples expected Jesus to say: «Oh, yes! Then let the people go, because we don’t have enough for everyone!» But Jesus did not say that. He managed to feel the multitude of people because one little boy gave back to the Lord the little he had.
  • The Word of God – the source of divine information and truth

    The lack of vision, knowledge or useful information can become the source of destruction and tragedy. There is a saying that not knowing the law does not relief from the responsibility; not knowing God’s laws or moral blindness multiplies human sufferings on earth.Every person must gain knowledge and understanding of God’s provision; we must know what God has done for us in Christ so that we can lessen human suffering. The lack of such knowledge can cause great pain. It is like a person starving because he does not know about state aid. The lack of knowledge of one’s rights and privileges can cause unnecessary problems.
  • Daily obedience to God in different areas of your life will bring you to your calling

    To every person that does not know his calling yet, I advise to be obedient to God on daily basis. If you will be obedient to God in your daily walk, then you will learn your calling; you will hear God and understand what He is calling you to.Daily obedience to God will bring a person to full realization of his or her calling. The big picture or the global project consists of multitude of small detail. As the saying goes, «Every trip starts with the first step».Repentance is the first step. After you repent of your sins, Jesus becomes your Lord. What does that mean? The Lordship of Jesus implies doing of what He tells you.
  • A habit is a powerful thing that either hinders us from getting to our goals or helps us and moves in the right direction!

    One of the important habits that we need to develop is to pray daily. Prayer must become habitual. God desires to teach us how to forsake bad habits and to develop good ones.Some people have a habit of wasting time. They may know that they need to pray, what they need to pray about, what prayer does etc, but they still don’t pray because they seem to lack the time, since they waste their time on wrong, unfruitful things – TV, computer, telephone conversations and so on. We must make an effort and find the time to pray.
  • Life without prayer is a road to nowhere

    When a person repents, he can start developing his prayer life. We must know that God does not turn away from us even when we do not pray. God is very patient and He wants us to understand that without prayer we are spiritually weak and unable to enter the things He has prepared for us. Effective prayer is the thing that opens a way for us and allows God to walk ahead of us. God waits until we come to full realization of it. He is good to His children, but His goodness must lead us to repentance. Many people do not understand it. Sometimes we do things that go against God’s orders and at the same time we feel like it is alright.
  • You have already been given that what you need to start your supernatural ministry

    When you first begin, don’t expect something big. Start doing something small that you are able to do and do it with consistency and responsibility and do it with all of your heart. Develop the gifts and talents that you have noticed in yourself, using them for the good of the people and the Kingdom of God. As you do it God will allow you to enter larger ministry. You will be noticed not because you’re sitting around doing nothing, but because you are doing your best. That is how your gift makes room for you.“A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great man” (Proverbs, 18: 16).
