Strengthen Yourself in Him


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 30:6

Everyone in the camp was aggrieved for their lost. I don't think they were in greater distressed than David anyway.
Prior to this David was anointed to be the next King of Israel. Then, not long after he killed Goliath, the women of Israel sang a song, that put him on the run, because King Saul wants him dead at all cost.
As at this time King Saul was still after David; so he ran and took shelter in the camp of the enemy.
Taking shelter in the camp of an enemy with family, relatives and friends with him, must have put him in a very compromising position.
David must have been wary before now, because it seems the anointing upon him has further complicated his life, not knowing what could happen next moment.
Now, his and his young men family and livelihood have been taken captive and their abode burnt with fire.
David wept with the young men to point they had to more strength to weep, then he came to himself and said within himself, weeping is not going to help or change anything. So he encouraged himself in the Lord his God (naturally, he was defeated).
"Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong."
2 Corinthians 12:10
But, victory came after enquiring from God; he pursued, he overtook and recovered all, 1 Samuel 30:8. Banking on the strength that can only come from Him. This is the deciding factor; many give up at this point. We must learn how to draw our strength from Him. Ephesians 6:10.

Strengthen yourself in Christ, for in him we have our victory, no matter how impossible, hopelessness or lost the situation seems. We will emerge victorious, when we put trust in Him!

May fresh grace be released unto you now and all through this week, in Jesus name! 

Jesus is Lord!

The Needful or Obvious Pt.1

And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her. - Luke 10:41-42. Nobody just happened, we are created for specific purpose. Everybody cannot be head, or leg, or hand etc., each and everyone most identify their place and stay there, thus makeup the body system. The leg cannot say the hand is not performing its functions adequately, as a result, he will take its functions over. The leg would be led by the obvious and abuse its own purpose instead, why? He was not created to perform the function of the hand. When these things are properly understood, it will help us to gain speed towards the fulfillment of our purpose. Everyone will give account of his or her stewardship, when the time comes, what will be your report, when all that you have been doing is the obvious(somebody else's assignment), and ignoring yours or ...

He Is Risen!

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:1 Why seek the living among the dead? He is no longer in the grave, He is risen! Hallelujah!!! Jesus triumph over Satan, and handled you and me the victory, like we did it. Are you in Christ Jesus? You're no longer numbered with the dead. You're now alive and separated unto God in Him. Jesus did it just for you, therefore let no condemnation temper with your joy. Jesus is Lord!
