ASSIGNMENT

-

Text :  1Samuel 9:3 ISV 

The donkeys belonging to Kish, Saul’s father, were lost, and Kish told his son Saul, “Take one of the young men with you, get up, and go look for the donkeys.”

When Kish the father of Saul sent him(Saul) on an assignment of finding his lost donkeys,  little did he know that it was a divine assignment. 

A number of times when God intends to give a divine assignment to His children, He does not announce it ahead of time, He only expects you to carry out the seemingly mundane assignments given to you by men. In doing this,  He will launch you into your divine destiny. 

At a time, God wanted to launch David (of the Bible) into His divine assignment. To do this, David had to defeat and kill Goliath.  Yet, God didn't come down from heaven or at least reveal this instruction to him in a dream. Instead,  He simply made his father (David's father) to send him on an errand to his elder brothers at the battle front. 1 Samuel 17.

If David had refused to run this errand,  he would have missed his divine timing. 

The list is endless of people who carry out assignments given to them by man only to later discover that God only use the assignment as a platform to lead them to their divine purpose and destiny. 

We are told of the widow of Zarephath who obeyed the instructions of the man of God 1 Kings. 17.

We are told of Joseph in Gen. 37.

We are told of the two sons of Zebedee whom Jesus called while they were fishing with their father.  We can go on and on. 

This goes to say that if you are too big to run errands for men whom you see,  then, you are not be qualified to be trusted with divine assignment from God whom you have not seen. 

 *Don't look down on that assignment, it may be a platform designed to launch you into the purpose of God for your life.* 

Bible reading: 1 Samuel 9:1-27.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
