Topic :Time To Pursue, Overtake And Recover.

Memory Verse : 1 Samuel 30:8. And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.

Bible Reading :1 Samuel 30:9-11 KJV. Key Verse : v11.

So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed. But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor. And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;

This time David was running for his life, being pursued by king Saul who was bent on eliminating him. This made him to settle down in Ziklag, which was a territory under the control of Achis king of the Philistines at that point in time, because king Saul hunted him down anywhere he went within the territories of Israel, he had settle down with their immediate neighbours, the Philistines. Being with Achis, he was useful to the king and the Philistines in times of war. This time, the battle was between the people of Philistine and Israel, the brothers of David. However, the men of Philistine didn’t want David to fight with them this time, to avoid him showing sympathy to his people of Israel, thereby compromising their war plans. The king therefore sent him home, away from the battlefield. When he returned to Ziklag, David and his men discovered that the place was in ruins, haven been burnt down and everyone and things on sight that moved taking captive by the rader raiders from Amalek. 1 Samuel 30 :1-3.

“Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep. And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite. And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.” 1 Samuel 30:4-6. When David finally gathered himself and inquired of the Lord who responded and asked him to pursue, overtaking and recover all he lost with his men. As he took the step of obedience, the Lord helped him through the weak and exhausted servant of the Amelekite who gave them the intelligence that helped them trace the whereabouts of the Amelekites who carried out the raid, burnt down Ziklag and carried away everyone and everyone captive.

Today, we have to understand that anytime we are overwhelmed with trouble, it is not time to weep to stupor or become confused. Trying times are times to seek after God to know the next line of action to take. David didn’t make any progress until he called the priest to himself and enquired of the Lord to know what he should do. When the Lord instructed him, he had clarity of purpose and his confidence returned to him, because he had known the mind of God in that given situation. “Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually. Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth; O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.He is the LORD our God; his judgments are in all the earth. Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;” 1 Chronicles 16:11-15.

Prayer :Thank you Father God because you are always with me, even in times of trouble. As I seek your face this time, empower me to pursue, overtake and recover anywhere I suffered losses in the past in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Acts 25:1-27.
