ANGELIC
MINISTRY (PART 1)
TEXT:
Hebrew 13:1-2
Let
brotherly love continue.
2 Be not
forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertain angels
unawares. KJV.
I know
there are those who think that all the story about the visitation and
activities of angels is a hoax, but the truth is that it is very possible this
same persons have already encountered angels one way or the other but because
they did not see one big winged manlike creature descend from an open sky they
still doubt the existence of Angels. One of the reasons it is difficult for
people to notice the presence of angels is the fact that the primary mission of
angels is to serve. They are not here to do the superhero thing to get the
attention of men like superman and other comic characters. Rather, they are
more concern about serving the purpose of their Lord and King. That’s why the
word of God says they are ministering spirits sent forth to minister for them
who shall inherit salvation (Heb 1:14). The word minister is same as serve.
From this scripture it is clear that their primary mission is to help us inherit
the salvation (the plan, purpose, presence and glory) of the Lord. The fact
that they are spirits beings makes it more difficult for many to comprehend.
That is why most of the time when they suddenly appear they start by saying
“Fear not”. But whether you believe it or not they exist. From our text for
today, in verse 1 it became very clear that love is a serious requirement.
Furthermore, in verse 2 it became clear that a lovely and hospitable nature is
a strong advantage in attracting and receiving angels.
Let no
man deceive you, acquaint yourself with the word of God about the ministry of
angels and you will be amazed what you shall discover.
