ANGELIC MINISTRY (PART 2)
TEXT: Hebrew 13:1-2
Let brotherly love continue.
2 Be not forgetful to entertain
strangers: for thereby some have entertain angels unawares. KJV.
We must be careful how we
In the year 2012 I was in Germany for a music fair
and had to travel a little distance that involves taking the Bus, Tram and Train.
I did not have much cash on me so I chose to look for the cheapest was to move
around and also eat quality food. In the morning of the third day I got down on
my knees to ask God for some leading and help before a set out. I left my hotel
for the Bus stop and met a lady who said she is from Ghana and she explained to
me how to get around and how things work. With that I was able to make my way
to the music fair. I during lunch I decided to walk around and see more of
Frankfurt, I had walked some distance picked up a few items and then felt the
need to go back to the venue of the fair then I realized that this is going to
be a long distance. Just as I was contemplating a man walked up to me from the
direction I was heading and spoke to me in English in a very friendly manner
with some compliments and then went on to ask some questions to get familiar.
He then offered to show me around and amazingly said I know a place where you
can get good food at a good rate. He then took me to the university cafeteria which
was along my route and offered to get a tray for me stood on the cue, explained
to me the food on display, their prices and then went on to place the order as
he communicates with the attendant in Dutch. He carried the food to a table
where we sat down to talk as I eat. He refused to eat, he just sat there to see
that all is well. I asked him for his phone number he said I should not worry
about that. I asked him if he is on Facebook and for his email he said he had
none. But he finally gave me an address to contact him with but this too got
missing in a way I cannot explain. He then asked to see the tag hanging on my
neck which had some instructions written in Dutch, after which he said do you
know that with this your movement around Frankfurt for the duration of the fair
has been paid for? I was so amazed and at the same time angry that I have spent
some money for that which I have paid for but then I became grateful and
relieved that I won’t have to spend anything on transport again. He walked me back
to the exact spot where we met, showed me the way to the music fair and said
good-bye. It took a long time for me yet I have not been able to figure out
what really happened.
Beloved, our scripture for today tells us not to be
forgetful in entertaining strangers because you just can’t tell when you may be
dealing with an angel. And I want to believe that it implies that your attitude
to strangers also has a way of attracting supernatural help to be rendered to
you by strangers. In other words, those who wish to attract angels to their
lives should also be willing to be the angel of others.
