Text: Isaiah 6:1-8
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
A channel can mean a means of passage for something. For example a funnel can be a means of passage for a fluid you are trying to pour into a keg or other small mouthed containers.
God is always in the business of blessing his people but he doesn’t usually do so without passing through available human channels. For example, when God wanted to bless the perishing world with a Saviour he passed through Virgin Mary as a channel. Jesus Christ did not jump down from Heaven, he passed through a human channel- Luke 1-2.
When the Most High wants to carry out his purpose, he uses human channels like you and I. when he wanted to deliver the children of Israel from a 430-year bondage, he used Moses and Aaron as channels of deliverance through whom he displayed his mighty power in the sight of stubborn Pharaoh- Exodus 1-15.
The Lord is always in search of whom to use as a channel. In Isaiah 6, after his divine purification encounter, Isaiah, the prophet heard a clarion call from the Lord in heaven, saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” Luckily, Isaiah was available, and he said, “Here am I. Send me!” Isaiah 6:1-8.
You can’t be a channel of blessing and you suffer lack of the same blessing. When the widow of Zarephath allowed herself to be used as a channel to bless Elijah, her food source did not run dry. 1 Kings 17:7-16
Reflective Nugget: Will you allow yourself to be a channel of blessing?
Bible in One Year: Jeremiah 40-43
