Ada Mukjizat Dalam Melayani Tuhan

Baca: 2 Raja-Raja 4:8-37 

"Berkatalah perempuan itu kepada suaminya: 'Sesungguhnya aku sudah tahu bahwa orang yang selalu datang kepada kita itu adalah abdi Allah yang kudus.' " (2 Raja-Raja 4:9)

Berbicara tentang pelayanan, tidak semua orang Kristen memberikan respons yang positif; ada yang suka dan ada pula yang tidak suka. Ada yang berkata, "Buat apa repot-repot ikut pelayanan di gereja, sudah capai tidak ada untungnya. Lebih baik di rumah nonton TV atau kerja lembur di kantor atau jaga toko, ada pemasukan. Ke gereja tiap minggu saja sudah lebih dari cukup." Tapi ketika sedang dalam kesukaran atau mengalami masalah yang berat kita baru merasakan betapa kita sangat membutuhkan Tuhan; kita mencari Tuhan dengan linangan air mata: "Tuhan tolong pulihkan keluargaku. Tuhan tolong sembuhkan sakitku. Nanti kalau sudah sembuh aku akan melayani Tuhan dengan sungguh." Kepada jemaat di Korintus Paulus menasihatkan, "...saudara-saudaraku yang kekasih, berdirilah teguh, jangan goyah, dan giatlah selalu dalam pekerjaan Tuhan! Sebab kamu tahu, bahwa dalam persekutuan dengan Tuhan jerih payahmu tidak sia-sia." (1 Korintus 15:58). Ayat ini menegaskan bahwa setiap jerih payah, pengorbanan, kesetiaan dan ketekunan kita terhadap perkara-perkara rohani tidak pernah sia-sia.

Mari kita membuka mata rohani dan belajar dari kehidupan perempuan Sunem. Ia mengalami mujizat dari Tuhan karena ia melayani dan menghormati nabi Allah (Elisa) dengan baik. Tertulis: "Baiklah kita membuat sebuah kamar atas yang kecil yang berdinding batu, dan bailah kita menaruh di sana baginya sebuah tempat tidur, sebuah meja, sebuah kursi, dan sebuah kandil, maka apabila ia datang kepada kita, ia boleh masuk ke sana. Pada suatu hari datanglah ia (Elisa) ke sana, lalu masuklah ia ke kamar atas itu dan tidur di situ." (2 Raja-Raja 4:10-11). Ini menunjukkan bahwa perempuan Sunem ini mengasihi Tuhan dan mengutamakan Dia. Karena melayani Tuhan dengan sungguh ia menerima nubuatan yaitu ia akan memiliki anak. Dan nubuatan itu terjadi! (2 Raja-Raja 4:16-17).

Ada dampak yang luar biasa bagi orang-orang yang mengasihi dan melayani Tuhan: mujizat, berkat dan pemulihan. Ketika anaknya sakit dan dinyatakan sudah mati, Tuhan pun sanggup menyembuhkannya. Oleh karena itu, tetaplah setia dan jangan pernah merasa lelah untuk melayani Tuhan, karena pertolongan dari Tuhan pasti dinyatakan atas kita.

Selagi ada kesempatan, jangan pernah sia-siakan waktu untuk melayani Tuhan!

The Painting of Destiny

"Are you sure of this, Navan?" The old pirate stared at King Mannas' chief merchant. However, his bright emerald green eyes sparkled with laughter. "The information came from Daoud, one of my former crew members, when I was ravaging the coastal villages of Vyrone." Navan smiled at the expression crossing Gerrod's face, whose family had fled from one of these villages. The Iron Falcon was a legend and parents had always used the threat of its crew and its flaming-haired captain to scare naughty children into sleeping and behaving differently. Gerrod quickly recovered and smiled. "Then he must be a man to be trusted, indeed." "Ah!" cried Navan. "Daoud will take the coin from the mouth of a dead man while it is still warm. I trust him only because he knows the fate of him who lies to me." I may have made him captain when I decided to infiltrate King Mannas' court, but he still knows who is in charge. "We must tell ...
