ELIEZER / CLEAR STRATEGY:

Genesis 24:12 He (ELIEZER) said, "O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today, and show lovingkindness to my master Abraham.”

When we read about Eliezer, I was gobsmacked, he is amazing, we can see that his boss Abraham’s qualities has rubbed off on him, it is only natural, though:

a) PROACTIVE SERVANT: 10 Then the servant took ten camels from the camels of his master, and set out with a variety of good things of his master's in his hand; and he arose and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.”

During my experience in the ministry and when I travelled to different churches, I have watched some pastors blessed with good congregation members, volunteers, choir and helpers. the secret behind is the faithfulness of the church leader. Amen.
b) PRAYERFUL SERVANT: Wow, I tell you, he has learnt the strategy to pray from his master Abraham. Fire begets fire!

If you lack knowledge of God, a brilliant mind will also stagger during times of crisis or when you have to take crucial decisions, however, Eliezer knew His God and he went about his job confidently putting God before him.
c) CLEAR STRATEGY:

Genesis 26:12 He said, "O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today, and show lovingkindness to my master Abraham.

d) PATIENT SERVANT / WAITING ON GOD:

He did not swiftly run to print the wedding cards and post the news on facebook, no….no…he waited on God. Wow! Amazing!

21”Meanwhile, the man was gazing at her in silence, to know whether the LORD had made his journey successful or not.” Ah, what patience!

When I received a call from God to resign the multinational bank job and join full time ministry, I did not hastily resign but I took one week leave and went on a fasting prayer. I would go to our church every day the whole week (the church would be empty since it was week days) sit underneath the staircase and pray the whole day and return home in the evening. I did this everyday with commitment, on Saturday, the Lord gave me clear instructions from His Word to resign.

“You need to chalk out a clear, clean strategy without which things will turn out haywire and then pray over it ceaselessly.” Amen.
