USE MY BOAT LORD:

Song: Here i am send me. 2×
When the Lord needs somebody.
Here i am, send me.

Song: I surrender all to Jesus, everything i surrender
Worldly pleasure all forsaken, everything i surrender.
I surrender all. 2×
All to thee, my blessed Saviour, i surrender all.

God is always in need of someone to use.He is always looking for that particular person willing to work for Him, willing to be used and send as the errand boy, willing to say here I am send me. God has a very great need, to reach out to human beings. He need to show love to human beings. Someone to bless and use as channel of blessings for others. He can use and send Angels and they will obey Him immediately. But He decided that the Holy Angels should dwell and live in heaven, although He sends them on special assignment to human beings on Earth, but not always.\

He has given human beings the work of the great commission – to tell other people about the Love of God to other human beings. To reconcile man to God. To help other people.
God needs people to help the needy, give money, materials time, prayer, show love to the needy, help the helpless, make others happy, show people the way to eternal life, etc
When there was famine in Israel. God used RAVENS to feed PROPHET ELIJAH. Raves are small and stingy animals, birds, yet they obeyed God. I am sure they were carrying very tiny pieces of bread at s time, and still, it became enough to feed Elijah, in the morning and evening, until the brook Cherith dried up. The Ravens brought the bread while God gave water via the brook, pool, to feed Elijah.

When the brook dried up God used the WIDOW OF ZAREPHATH to feed Elijah again, during the famine. God usually chose and uses inconsequential, unimportant, unexpected, things and people, for His work/ assignments, He knows what He sees in them. They themselves and others may not understand or know why God has chosen them. God said, ” I will show mercy to whom i will show mercy and i will have compassion on whom i will have compassion.” Romans 9: 15.

Jesus said, “You have not chosen me but i have chosen you to bear fruits and that your fruit should abide.” John 15: 16.

When God decide to use you in any way , the wisest thing to do and say is, ” here i am send me” , because you can never win in God’s case. He doesn’t change His mind. God always chooses to bless. He knows what He put in you. He knows you can do it. He never sends someone message without backing the person up. All that is needed for the assignment to be successful , God Himself will provide. All that God want you to say is ‘ here i am Lord send me.’ ‘ USE MY BOAT LORD’.

‘ Use me to do what you want to do’. I surrender all to You, use me as Your mouth piece, to say what you want to say, and to do what you want to do, I am at Your service, and Your command Lord, have Your way in my life. Don’t delay, don’t waste time, it is for your good and for others good. God said, the thought i have for you are thoughts of peace and not of evil to bring you to an expected end.

THE RAVENS , THE WIDOW OF ZAREPHATH AND ELIJAH

NIV:“As surely as the Lord your God lives,” she replied, “I don’t have any bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it—and die.”
CUVS:他说：我指着永生耶和华─你的神起誓，我没有饼，?内只有一把面，瓶里只有一点油；我现在找两根柴，回家要为我和我儿子做饼；我们吃了，死就死罢！
CNV:她說：“我指著永活的耶和華你的神起誓，我沒有餅，缸裡只有一把麵粉，瓶裡只有一點油。你看我正在撿兩根柴，然後回去，為自己和兒子做餅，我們吃完了，就等死。”

When the brook dried up, God used the widow of Zarephath to feed Elijah during the famine. The widow ,had no husband and was very poor, at the time, and wanted to cook and eat the last meal with her and die, she and her son because she did not expect help from anyone. She knew that she had no helper. She obeyed God, by giving Prophet Elijah food first, and she received blessings of divine multiplication. The food never finished. Herself, her son and Elijah never went hungry. Assuming she did not give and help Prophet Elijah ,she would have eaten her food and die with her son. God would definitely have provided another means of sustainance for Elijah. She was the person that would have missed her miracles..May we not miss our miracles in Jesus name. Amen. 

This teaches us that, there is nothing too small to give. Once it comes to your mind, or God put it in your mind, give it. The thing you call small, may turn out to be like billions in importance, to the person you want to give, it may even save lives. Little is much if God is in it.

NOTE: If these personalities- Ravens and the widow of Zarephath, refused to help Elijah in his time of need, maybe Elijah died, wouldn’t God count them guilty of murder? While they will be thinking that they have never kill anyone. Maybe, the widow says or think, this is the way these hungry Prophets used to behave, can’t he see that i have nothing to give? And if she refused to help, her name and good deed would never have appeared in the Bible which people of all ages and generations and languages are reading about her good selfless action ,many years after. She may be in heaven now, just because of that action, giving to the right person, at the right time, and the right place.
Hence, learn to obey God, in all things and at all times. Help people in need. This way you’re telling God to use your boat. That you’re available to make someone happy, and available to work for God, and God will remember you for good as you help, in Jesus name. Amen.

Peter was a fisherman , Jesus had a need. The need to stand on a boat and preach to the people. Jesus entered Peter’s boat. I am sure that many other boats were there, but He preferred and chose Peter’s boat. Peter did not resist or deny Jesus from using his boat. If Peter had resisted, or denied Jesus of the use of his boat, he would have lost the opportunity to be one of the twelve Disciples of Jesus. Lost the multitude of fishes he caught later – which is likely to have made him very rich. Lost the opportunity of making heaven. Lost the opportunity of his name appearing in the Bible. Another person would have been chosen as the head of the Apostle. But see all that he gained by saying ,Yes Lord, Jesus, USE MY BOAT.
Jesus saw the boat of other fishermen, he entered that of Peter. To bless Peter. The Bible did not record that the other fishermen, in other boats caught great fishes. Whatever God does is for our good.

Jesus called the Disciples to do the type of work He does
The boat you can give God to use may not be physical boat perse. God wants to use your time, life, money, properties, cars, knowledge, wisdom, gifts, talents, influence, etc. Everything that you have, to propagate the gospel and to help others. You will never regret as you tell God. ‘ I surrender, my all to You, USE MY BOAT, lord for Your glory.’
Give that little, that you have to God. If you say it is too small, you cannot give. The other person says same, eventually no one will give. But if you give your little another give little , it will soon be enough, and mighty work will be done for God. Give your little and i give my little , God will multiply it, in Jesus name. Amen.

Shepherd of my soul
I give you full control
Wherever you may lead,
I will follow
I have made the choice
to listen to your voice
Wherever you may lead

The Shepherd of my soul by my side.
Should i face a mighty mountain
Or a valley dark and deep
The Shepherd of my soul be my guide.
