Be STRONG

 



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


In life, going through the furnace of affliction will get you to the place of great distress. But like David, encourage yourself in God's Word that cannot fail and stand strong.


David was a man called and anointed to be the king of Israel at the age of 16 (sixteen); but now almost 30 years he have not yet ascended the throne; on the contrary, he has been under perpetual attacks and afflictions, to the point that he had to take refuge in the enemy's territory. 

And now, they have gone to find food for their family (he and his men), only to return to deserted and burnt abode, and their families taken captive.


The Bible says, in verse 4 of same chapter,

"Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep."



You may have gotten to that place despair, where you don't know what else to do, don't run from Him [God] rather to Him.  No matter what happen keep your eyes on Him. That was what King David did, he encouraged himself and seek to hear from God the next step and action.


You see, this was the last stroke, because right after this event, he ascended the throne. Imagine what would have happened had he quit, the tendencies must have been there.


"But he that shall endure unto the end (not mid way), the same shall be saved." Matthew 24:13


I pray for grace to stand strong till the end for someone reading this today, you will not fail, and you shall not faint in God's purpose for you, in Jesus mighty name! God bless you! 


Jesus is Lord!

EXIGENCY

  You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities. Amos 3:2.  Ever wondered how come so and so did such and got away with it, but when you attempted it, you got cut and punished for it? There could be chances you are separated to God as a chosen vessel [not certainly, but likely]. "if yes" , as a result, you can't do what you like, only what is permitted. The society have drifted to the place where people don't talk about purpose anymore except their individualistic goals. Well, if you came from God, He already has a plan for you, it is suppose to be your primary assignment in life to discover it. Not to ignore it, in pursuit of your own self centered aspirations, it may not go down well. Some of the reasons you were probably rejected in certain areas in life is not because you aren't qualified, but because you're out of place. When God chose Abram, he didn't succeed in anything else even at 75yrs...

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 ...
