DON'T SETTLE FOR LESS

And David said to Achish, Surely thou shalt know what thy servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine head for ever.

1 Samuel 28:2

Most times we focus on the promotion of men that we loose focus of God's original plan and purpose for our life [promotion that comes from God]. As a result settle for existence, instead of reigning and ruling in life.

In 1 Samuel 29:7 the scripture says,

"Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that thou displease not the lords of the Philistines."

In our quest to gain favour and promotion we compromise; God doesn't want that.

David wanted to help Achish to fight to prove his loyalty, what would've happened had he gone is another thing. Things could've turned either way; he was in a fix, so God stepped in.

David is ordained to be a king, not a chief of staff to someone else. But frustration and pressure could've made him loose focus, thereby bend the knees. As a result a glorious destiny would've been eroded.

This is a clear picture and behind the scene events of life. At every junction we are faced with a choice; either to allow God have His way, or force our way to create our own path.

Steps taken without God endangers our destiny.

Jesus is Lord!

SETTLED SOUL

Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue. When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure. When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

SPIRITUAL KNOWING

But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. Acts 13:45 In life you will face some vicious attacks from people, their reasons may seem reasonable to many [natural minds]; but their real intent, concealed. From the above text, observe the real reason the Jews were contradicting what the Apostles had said. When they saw the multitudes, they became envious. But they wouldn't come out to show their real intent; but will work up something else as the main reason. This is why as a Christian, you can't allow yourself to be limited by the things you see, hear or feel, because they can be deceptive. The Holy Spirit is the revealer of truth, let Him guide you into all truth. "For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy." Mark 15:10 Go beyond the physical, and sense realm. Go spiritual [there's a spiritual knowing]. Jesus is Lord! Mark Enah...

WE KNOW

We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 1 John 3:14 Love is the authentic proof of our salvation. Of course there are different types of love; but I am talking about the Agape love (the God kind of Love). In life you will come across different kind of people even amongst friends and family that will challenge your love walk, tempting you act ugly. But you always find out that there is this strength within that makes you love them all the same. It does not mean you wouldn't be angry. The scripture say, be yea angry and sin not. It's just for a moment, and you'd be right back with your love walk. When you're angry and it's allowed to linger over a period of time, you need to examine yourself, you may have drifted off alittle and if allowed to linger, you will be a long way off-course, and a long way from home (in Christ). Be quick to forgive and love, as it is the proof of life....
