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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
