Topic: Allow God To Work Things Out.

Memory Verse : 1 Samuel 26:10. David said furthermore, As the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish.

Bible Reading :1 Samuel 26:7-9. Key Verse : v9.

So David and Abishai came to the people by night: and, behold, Saul lay sleeping within the trench, and his spear stuck in the ground at his bolster: but Abner and the people lay round about him. Then said Abishai to David, God hath delivered thine enemy into thine hand this day: now therefore let me smite him, I pray thee, with the spear even to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the second time. And David said to Abishai, Destroy him not: for who can stretch forth his hand against the LORD’S anointed, and be guiltless?

King Saul committed his blunders of rebellion before the Lord which made God reject him as king over Israel. God therefore in his wisdom sent Samuel his servant to the house Jesse to anoint David King unannounced. After he was anointed by Samuel in his father’s house, the Spirit of God came upon him and he began to do exploits. That was how he began to slay the bear and the lion in the wilderness. Finally he slew Goliath the Philistine giant whose fearful appearance and threats, no Isrealite was able to withstand in the battlefield, including King Saul himself. After God used young David to deliver Israel from the hands of Goliath and the Philistines, the women sang David into trouble with Saul the King. “And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands. And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom? And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.” 1 Samuel 18:7-9.

Because King Saul was bent on eliminating David, the young man had to run away from the Palace and began to live like a fugitive. As Saul began to track David down to kill him, he got intel this time that he was in the hill of Hachillah which lay before Jeshimon. King Saul mobilised about three thousand special forces to hunt David down as to eliminate him and to stop God’s plan for the life of David. God in his mercy delivered King Sual and his elite soldiers into the hands of David and his men, who speared their lives as to honour God’s oil upon the life of king Saul. “David said furthermore, As the LORD liveth, the LORD shall smite him; or his day shall come to die; or he shall descend into battle, and perish. The LORD forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against the LORD’S anointed: but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear that is at his bolster, and the cruse of water, and let us go. So David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul’s bolster; and they gat them away, and no man saw it, nor knew it, neither awaked: for they were all asleep; because a deep sleep from the LORD was fallen upon them.” 1 Samuel 26:10-12.

“And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers. Then said Saul to his armourbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armourbearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it. And when his armourbearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died. So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together.” 1 Chronicles 10:3-6. Just as David had said to his men, King Saul who was after his life for doing nothing wrong perished on his own in battle at God’s appointed time. Today we have to learn to walk with God patiently, even in the midst of provocations. We don’t need to help God bring his glorious plan for our lives to fulfillment by running ahead of him. Rather we have to follow him step by step, understanding his timing and not trying to work with our own timing or that of other men.

Prayer :Thank you Father God for your good plan for my life which no power can truncate. Today I ask that you help me understand your timing in my life and to follow it. Help me not to run ahead of you so that I don’t miss you in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿,

Yearly Bible Reading : Matthew 28:8-15.

Thursday 28th September, 2023.

Topic: The Only Saviour.

Memory Verse: Philippians 2:10. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

Bible Reading: Acts 4:10-12. TPT. Key Verse: v12.

you and everyone else in Israel should know that it is by the power of the name of Jesus that the crippled man stands here today completely healed! You crucified Jesus Christ of Nazareth, but God raised him from the dead. This Jesus is ‘the stone that you, the builders, have rejected, and now he has become the cornerstone!’ There is no one else who has the power to save us, for there is only one name to whom God has given authority by which we must experience salvation: the name of Jesus.”

Man ran into trouble because of the sin of disobedience through Adam. After God created, blessed and gave him everything that he needed to be comfortable, he was deceived by the devil who entered a crafty serpent to make sure man compromised his stand before his maker. God had no choice but to drive man out of Eden, a place rest to the world which is a place of survival of the fittest. Not only that, man lost his position of rulership and began to suffer maltreatment at the hands of the devil. God in his love refused to give up on man. By the sacrifice of Jesus Christ who submitted himself to the point of death to save mankind, God is able to rescue them that believe. “Then flew one of the seraphim unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.” Isaiah 6:6-8.

Jesus Christ came to the World to redeem man from sin, and the consequences of sin and restore all we lost to Satan through his shed blood on the cross where he died for us to live. The old order of his earthly ministry days was upset by his popularity and style, as the people chose to follow him, making themselves look redundant. They envied and did everything to frustrate or Stop him but couldn’t. Finally, they were able to kill him, not knowing that he would become more effective and impactful after his death. They didn’t know that the one who raised the dead had power over death. After he arose from the dead, he handed over his ministry to the men he had trained for about three years, before leaving. “He answered, “The Father is the one who sets the fixed dates and the times of their fulfilment. You are not permitted to know the timing of all that he has prepared by his own authority. But I promise you this—the Holy Spirit will come upon you and you will be filled with power. And you will be my messengers to Jerusalem, throughout Judea, the distant provinces—even to the remotest places on earth!” Acts 1:7-8.

After the disciples of Jesus were filled with the power of God at Pentecost, they began to wax strong in the assignment. They testified about Jesus everywhere they went with signs and wonders following. Every effort that was put up by the priests using political power or the rulers to intimidate and stop them was futile. After Peter and John healed the lame beggar by the beautiful gate when going for prayers in the temple, the people gathered and they had to let them know that the healing was by the name of Jesus Christ whom they rejected and crucified. The chief priests were not done after they made sure they killed Christ, they detained these disciples and brought them before the judgment seat of the rulers of the land just for preaching and teaching about Jesus. Peter moved by Spirit had to let them know the mind of God which stands forever. “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none another name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12. Today, we must recognise the fact that no man or power anywhere in the world can save, us except Jesus Christ, the son of God who died for our sins. Even today, in his name every difficult case must be resolved, if we can believe.

Prayer: Thank you Father God for giving us Jesus to die for us to live indeed. Today no power can quench your light in me. By the power in the name of Jesus I am not only saved, I come out victorious in every battle of life, because I believe in Jesus precious name….. Amen 🙏🏿.

Yearly Bible Reading: John 20:1-18.
