ENTHRONEMENT ASSEMBLY DAILY DEVOTIONALS.

Sunday February 9th, 2025.

Topic :Overcoming Fear Of The Unknown.

Bible Reading :‭1 Kings 17:13. Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son.

Bible Reading :‭1 Kings 17:14-16 NIV‬. Key Verse : v14.

For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the land.’ ” She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the Lord spoken by Elijah.

God has a character that men who desire to walk with or do business with him in their lifetime must understand. When you understand the ways of God, you will be able to relate appropriately with, as to get the best of him. “Now listen, Israel, listen carefully to the rules and regulations that I am teaching you to follow so that you may live and enter and take possession of the land that God, the God-of-Your-Fathers, is giving to you. Don’t add a word to what I command you, and don’t remove a word from it. Keep the commands of God, your God, that I am commanding you. You saw with your own eyes what God did at Baal Peor, how God destroyed from among you every man who joined in the Baal Peor orgies. But you, the ones who held tight to God, your God, are alive and well, every one of you, today. Deuteronomy 4:1-4 MSG.

In 1 kings 17, we see Elijah the Prophet shutting the heavens by the power of God. After that, God led him to the brook of Cherith where he was sustained for a season. The Lord caused a raven to bring him meat daily, while he drank water from the brook. Because God wanted to use the presence of his servant to sustain this particular widow of Zarephat, he caused the flow of divine supply to cease in the brook, so that he could send Elijah to this very widow. On arrival, just at the city gate he met the widow fetching some wood and demanded for water to drink. As the widow tried to get that, he called her back and demanded for a morsel of bread or food. “As she was going to get it, he called, “And bring me, please, a piece of bread.” “As surely as the Lord your God lives,” she replied, “I don’t have any bread—only a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it—and die.”” 1 Kings 17:11-12.

At this point, this widow was ignorant of what God had in mind by sending his servant to her. Because of her ignorance, she was afraid. The demand placed on her to ignore the situation on ground and feed the man of God first, who was a stranger or visitor at the expense of her son and self was a big test. She would have failed that test because of fear of the unknown. But thank God she believed and obeyed God’s servant, trusting in his assurance of divine sustainance, and that was key to the miracles she enjoyed with her son throughout the season of famine in the land. Today, the Lord wants us to come out of our cocoons of fear that has placed limitations on many. There are some of us that the Lord wants to take steps to the next level of their experience of him who has refused to exercise their faith to make it happen. Such people are tied down by fear of the unknown because they have chosen to walk by their sentiments and focused their attention on natural realities around them. A man like Abraham stepped into the unknown at the instruction of the Lord, that was the foundation on which his kingdom greatness was built.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for your desire to take me deeper into you. Help me to overcome every natural feeling or circumstances that want to place a limitation over me. As I take steps of obedience, let me begin to enjoy a new level of intimacy and manifestation of your glory in everything I do in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading : Exodus 11:1-10, 12:29-36.
