A young man was preparing to wed. He was poor & needed to borrow a suit from someone to use for his wedding.He went to where to borrow the wedding suit.When he got there, he met the whole family feasting. He was offered food& he sat down to eat without telling them his mission. While the eating was going on, another young man rushed in & demanded to see the man of the house. They told him to sit down & eat with them. He told them he is in an hurry& he just came to see the man of the house. The man of the house went outside with him& after 5mins the man of the house came in& went out again with a bag in his hand. When he came back, the first guy that came& was eating with them stood up & told the man of the house that he came purposely to borrow a wedding suit from him& told the man he is getting married in the next one week.
The man of the house said to him, ' haa, that young man you saw that rushed in the other time came for the same wedding suit& I have given it to him& he is getting married the same day you are getting married.' The young man regretted the fact that he ate before delivering his mission. It was too late for him.He wept bitterly.
Friends, many of us are like that young man. There are many 'food' that will be presented to us as we go on in the journey of our destiny. Don't 'eat' until you have 'hit it'! I mean; until you have delivered your mandate to your generation. Many 'foods' are just distraction in disguise. Learn from Eliazer, the sarvant of Abraham. He was offered food when he followed Rebekah to her father's house in his pursuit of getting a wife for Isaac. Genesis 24:33 says, 'Food was set before him to eat, but he said, "I will not eat until I have told my message." He said.
Friends, I know you have a mandate& a message to deliver to your world. Make sure you hit the message! Hit the goals! Hit the target before you 'eat'! Make sure you are hitting it before you will start 'eating'. First thing first! Be rebellious to every distraction! Thanks.
