Are You A Dorc?
Part 3
If you are unsure whether you’re a Dorc, then please check out the account of a disciple by the name of Dorcas found in Acts 9:36-42. This woman was such a giver that when, in the midst of her ministry, she died, the early church took action and she was raised from the dead. One of the major aspects of this lady’s life that set her apart from a lot of folks today is found in Acts 9:39(b) “…the room was filled with weeping widows who were showing one another the coats and other garments Dorcas had made for them”. TLB
The room was filled with people who had been on the receiving end of this woman’s generous heart. I obviously do not know the dimensions of this room, but it is evident that this woman didn’t just minister to her immediate family; her kindness was extended to a large number of folks. Too many Christians today typify the saying Brother Hagin used to share about the selfish mindset of certain folks: “My four and no more”. For these individuals their charity didn’t extend any farther than their immediate family. However, Dorcas’ generosity reached far beyond the walls of her own home.
Secondly, Dorcas was a disciple who had more than just good intentions. In other words, Dorcas did more than just talk, think, and plan to do good. Dorcas did good. Dorcas gave. The people who were touched by this disciple had something they could hold in their hands to show that this disciple did more than just talk the talk.
In God’s Kingdom, are you a Dorc? Have you blessed or done anything for someone beyond your own four walls or family? Has any aspect of the God’s kingdom been tangibly enriched, because of you? If so – you’re a true blue Dorc.
