DESTROYING DELAY

DESTROYING DELAY I Samuel 1:9-20 Devotional:- “And it happened, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli watched her mouth” (V.12) NKJV      Sometimes in the life of a child God, there could come a time of delay. This is when God’s promises seem foot-dragging, and expectations are not fulfilled when expected. When you have been praying about some situations and nothing seems to change. Sometimes such periods defy all kinds of wisdom and if care is not taken such a person’s faith could become cold. Such times are for you to grow strong enough to receive and retain your inheritance in God.

TERRIBLE BOSS

TERRIBLE BOSS 

I Samuel 22:9-19
Devotional:- “Then the king said to the guards who stood about him, "Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he fled and did not tell it to me." But the servants of the king would not lift their hands to strike the priests of the Lord” (V.17) NKJV

    People who do not understand leadership principles or work in it and yet are leaders are often found as bosses. Such people are not there to lead others by example but to destroy the company with their office. They are not ready to serve but only want to lord over others. They have no good plan for their company or nation but they are selfish in their thinking. There is nothing such people cannot do when the power is in their hands.

Some Christians find themselves in an office with such people in leadership and that becomes a challenge for such a child of God. Such Christians could be sent on any wrong assignment that would be against their faith. Such is King Saul we read about today. He was so terrible that he did not see it as wickedness to kill the priest of God. But some people under him still have the fear of God and they will not join in this evil

As a child of God, if you are faced with this kind of challenge around you, what you need to do is ask for the wisdom of God to relate with such a leader successfully. Let them know you as a child of God who will not compromise with unrighteousness. That will create a limit to the extent they will want to get you involved in their act. Always commit such leaders to the hand of the Lord. When you are to work with such a leader, pray that God clothe you with His fear and glory. Pray that the Lord will touch his heart before you get to him (Proverbs 21:1). Humble yourself also, but firm. Then you will see the goodness of the Lord. While others are shouted on, you will be humbly welcomed. Don’t join anyone to do evil because he is your boss. God will make you special to him. He will be afraid of God in you and you will be flourishing in famine.

PRAYER: LORD, GIVE ME THE WISDOM TO STAND NOTWITHSTANDING.

“WITH THE WISDOM OF GOD, EVEN THE WICKED WILL HONOUR YOU”

ONLY THE VICTORS Revelation 21:1-8 Devotional:- “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son” (v. 7) NKJV      In this part of the world, many are not so used to taking responsibility over challenges. Instead of been proactive to foresee and prevent issues, people are used to looking out for whom to blame and who should help out (Proverbs 14:23). It is vivid that we are in a challenging season. It is also clear that we are drawing closer to the end of the age.

THE GRACIOUS Exodus 34:1-8 Devotional:- “…The Lord, the Lord a God merciful and gracious, long-suffering and abundance in goodness and truth” (V.6) AMPL      For believers of this Generation to have the fullness of heaven as the word of God promised, they will need to have the right understanding of who our God is. It is the wrong concept of God that has limited the exploitation of Christians and made many lives wrongly. God’s word says those who know their God shall be strong (Daniel 11:32). If you will be stronger than your challenges you must know your God.

ALTERNATIVES

ALTERNATIVES II Kings 5:1-15 Devotional:- “Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?" So he turned and went away in a rage”. (V12) NKJV      It is always the trick of the devil to make us lose sight of God. So he often makes us see alternatives to God. His own goal is to take people away from God. The enemies so much make his way look easy and quick but with eternal implications. That is why you need to grow your faith and not yield to his tricks. The devil’s alternative will always be with covenants that bind into darkness.
