Doorkeepers are Hard to Find…
“Who wants to be a “doorkeeper” in the house of the Lord?”
These people are hard to find, especially nowadays. Everyone wants to be “on the platform” and in the “limelight,” but finding someone who wants to be a “doorkeeper” in the house of the Lord is rare.
Bobby received a miracle and got saved and filled with the Spirit of the Lord when he was 16. He started going to Church. He began preaching at the local Salvation Army in Orlando, Florida, to any of the alcoholics who would listen to him. Now, he began to think, “Where is God going to send me? To some big Church? Overseas, with huge crowds of people?”
Bobby began to pray and “get ready to go… anywhere.” But one day, as he was praying, the Lord said, “Bobby, I want you to go and clean the toilets of the church!”
“What?” Bobby thought. He could not talk until he was 16 when he got saved. So now, he thought he could go and preach around the world, not “clean toilets!” But he did. After cleaning the toilets of the church, he was ready to pack his bags when the Lord said, “Now, Bobby, go and wash your Pastor’s car.”
Bobby said, “Lord, he has two lazy sons my age. They can go and wash his car.” But the Lord said, “Bobby, if you cannot be faithful in small things, I can never trust you with big things.” And Bobby went, joyfully, to wash his Pastor’s car.
Psalms 84:10 declares, “I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.”
So to all of you, unseen soldiers, who babysit the toddlers in your church, who come in on Saturday, and mow the Church grass, or vacuum the Church or clean the toilets, and you are doing it with joy, as unto the Lord, “God bless you 100-fold! Great blessings are coming your way!” You are not “unseen to the Lord.” He sees everything you do, and you do it with joy!! Small things done in a big way are blessed by the Lord.
Have a great day, and always be prepared to do the things that no one else wants to do, because your Heavenly Father is watching.
God bless you,
