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 portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
