THE PROCESS 2

Text: Isa 64:8.

 *But as for you, O LORD, you are our Father; and we are clay, and you are our potter; we are all the work of your hands.* 

David waited for thirteen (13)years before he could sit on the throne he had been anointed for. Within this waiting period,  he went through a series of processes. 

 *What you do during your waiting period determines if you will emerge as a winner or not.* 

Two exemplary steps David took during his waiting period were.

1. *Service* :  In 1 Samuel 16:13, David was anointed by Prophet Samuel to be the next king of Isreal. Immediately after,  he was called upon to serve the sitting king.
At this point, we could say David was gainfully employed.

An anointed man with one of the most juicy work in town still deem it fit to attend to menial jobs at home. 1 Samuel 17:12-18.

 *If you can't be counted on to carry out negligible assignments,  you can't be trusted with big ones.* 

 *If you are too big to serve, then you are too small to lead.* 

2. *Submission :* For 13years, David submitted himself (to the letter) to the sitting king even when he knew he has been anointed to succeed him. 

Submission to constituted authority is Submission to God's plan and agenda for your life. 

While waiting for the manifestation of God's  plan for your life, see to it that you do not jump the process.  Service and Submission is a process you can't toy with.


 *BIBLE READING*:

1 Sam. 16:1-23.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Lord,  I receive the grace to serve with humility and to submit to authority as unto the Lord.

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...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
