MAY 12. OVERTAKE AND RECOVER ALL

 


MAY 12. 

 And David inquired of the Lord, “Shall I pursue after this band? -1 Sam 30:8;

 David was described as the man after God’s own heart and it is a well-deserved honour.

David had just been rejected by the philistines whose army he had wanted to join in fighting their enemy. The Lord God had set him up for a battle to defeat the Amalekites who had burnt down Ziglak, taking many captives including his two wives.

David asked God for guidance and God gave him the divine assurance that he would overtake the enemy and recover all that was lost. He was encouraged and he took immediate action knowing and believing in the God he served. He had the guarantee that nothing would be missing and he made a complete recovery of all that was lost. There was a total restoration and spoils of war taken, so it is when we seek God’s guidance for our health, our career, our finances, we are restored.

We must never give up, we must ask God for guidance and be encouraged. We must understand that the God we worship is all knowing and He knows the beginning from the end. He will not lead you into temptation and he will deliver you from all evil, beyond your understanding. 

Let Us Pray: Father, we thank you for your divine guidance, grant us the wisdom to seek you when we are perplexed. May we have total restoration and fulfilment when the enemy overwhelms us. 

Bible Verses: 1 Sam 30:18-19, Isaiah 43:1-26

YOU ARE A CHILD OF PROMISE

   MAY 1.       Acts: 1: 4-5   The days are going so quickly, I remember that Christmas was celebrated not too long ago and here we are celebrating Good Friday and Easter, the most important days in the Church calendar.   The celebration of our Lord Jesus Christ in this season is purposeful and it is from everlasting to everlasting. Some questions come to my mind, what if our Lord Jesus gave up on his disciples who had betrayed and denied him? What if our Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead and decided to take a holiday from the stressful life he had been through? What if he did not leave us the Holy Spirit, our Comforter? The questions are endless and we sure do not have any answers to all of them and many more. We are the reason why our Lord Jesus Christ did not stop to take a rest and did not deny us, forgiving the thief on the cross.   Today we begin to see the enormity of the work our Lord Jesus Christ did for us, from the cross to...

WHO IS GOD TO YOU

  MAY 2.     Deuteronomy 6:4 Our God is an Amazing, Awesome God, The Creator of Heaven and the Earth, There is no one like Him, none to compare with Him, yes He is a perfect God. He is greater than all that he created, unlimited in nature, infinite and he is the God in three persons.   As you are dressed up to go out of your home, you are attired in all that God created including you yourself. Your clothes are made from cotton, silk, your shoes are made from animal skin, your perfume comes from natural oils, your jewellery comes from metals that are found in layers of soil. As you stand, there is nothing on you that was originally made by you.   All of these products were created by God before He created man and gave man dominion over all that He created. - 1 Corinthians 8:6.   Psalm 14 vs 1 AMP says, “The (spiritually) ignorant says in his heart that There is no God!!”   What do we say to that? Question who is God to you? He is the crea...

HOPE IN THE WORLD

Image
  MAY 3.      Romans:5: 4-5   Hope is not wishful thinking; hope is like making a long wish-list and waiting in great anticipation for each of the things you wished for to come through. You will find yourself marking off all the ones that God has answered.   On who are you hinging your hope on? My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ and righteousness; this is the line of a very popular hymn that we all know. Is it true for you, can you let go and know that He who you hope on will not disappoint you. The faith that our hope has in God is the hope that does not disappoint, it transforms our suffering into endurance and our expectations into joy. This is the hope that all faithful believers enjoy, they have peace with God and they feel very secured. This brings the Christ-like character and the absolute abundant grace in our daily living.   Let Us Pray: Heavenly Father we ask to be filled with joy and peace as we are hopeful of yo...
