JESUS THE PROFESSIONAL; THE PHILANTHROPIST

1. Jesus was a Great Carpenter. Mark 6³ Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. Spiritualize your work sometimes or give spiritual meaning to what you do daily. It helps you value it and further dignifies it.                                       Zechariah¹⁹ And I said unto the angel that talked with me, What be these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.²⁰ And the Lord shewed me four carpenters. (craft men. skilled workers. blacksmith. work men. etc)
   ²¹ Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.
   
2. Jesus was a Great Teacher.  John 3 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:² The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: “Sir,” he said, “we all know that God has sent you to teach us. “Rabbi, we all know you’re a teacher straight from God. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher. “Teacher, we know that you are a teacher sent from God. “Rabbi (Teacher), we know [without any doubt] that You have come from God as a teacher; for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him. Read Ecclesiastes 12:8-11.
   
   
3. Jesus was a Great Lawyer. 1 John 1My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, we have an Advocate [who will intercede for us]. Jesus Christ always does the right thing, and he will speak to the Father for us. we have a ·helper [counselor; advocate; Rom. 8:34] in the presence of the Father. But if you sin, there is someone to plead for you before the Father. Jesus Christ the righteous: He must be damn good to beat all the lawyers of His time in arguments. Remember Him at age 12? Luke 2:46, 47. Lawyers from all over the land. Luke 5:16-18. He had to make a good case. Oh Glory! Eating with sinners. Luke 5:30. Healing on Sabbath. Luke 6:7. Etc.
   
4. Jesus was a Great Doctor. Yes He was a Healer. You see, one of Jesus's follower was Dr. Luke. What Matthew and Peter would call 'miracle', Luke called 'healing'. Miracles are instantaneous and mysterious; healings are procedural and gradual. There are too many remedies than there are maladies. God only need doctors who have a heart to serve humanity. Hallelujah. And no case was too bad for Him to redeem. You, you are a doctor. Your own is to toy with people's lives and come out saying 'I'm sorry, we tried our best'. You are a damboroba kobani! Laughs. Can patients come to your hospital and say 'Heal me and I shall be healed...' ? Jeremiah 17:14. Some times, some people's healing comes by soothing words 'He sent his word, and healed them...' Psalms 107:20. Matthew 4:24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them. Mark 6:13 And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them. If I were a doctor, I will use anointing oil a lot o. Ehen. 
   
   
5. Jesus was a Great Philanthropist. This one came by fire. This is what your end on this earth should be like. Give, Give. Give. Amen. State the Dangote, GwD, KBI example. State the Rockefeller example. Matthew7⁷ Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:⁸ For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Feeding of Five Thousand Matthew 14:21 Feeding of Four Thousand Matthew 15:38.
