The experience of the 7 sons of Sceva (in the passage above) got me thinking: 'Imagine a young school leaver challenging a bank manager to a contest of being a better manager of man and money to ensure effectiveness and efficiency?'
You can only wonder what will become of this school leaver is he/she is given the responsibility of managing a department of a bank. These sons of Sceva did not pay attention to the simple rule of the thumb in Human Resource management:
- Your CV must be tailored to suit any job opening you are applying for and,
- Your experiences muse be relevant to the job advertised for
Before you can apply for any job.
In this case, being born again is the basic requirement for the job in question (Acts 19:15) while a faith in Christ's finished work on the Cross is all the relevant experience these 7 young men needed.
Unfortunately they lacked these requirements yet they wanted the glory PAUL enjoyed.
Beloved members of Sandy's Relationship Forum, please make sure that your CV is always updated and your experiences relevant to God's purpose and plan at every time least you embrace the shame of defeat.
You don't want to ask the sons of Sceva their experience (Acts 19:14 - 16)!
