DIVINE ASSIGNMENT

Text : 1 Samuel 9:3.

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.”

*God doesn't and cannot make mistake. No child is a mistake as far as God is concerned.* The child, whether conceived in wedlock or outside is no mistake to God.

Mistakes are only in the realms of men, as for God, every child has a purpose for which God has allowed him or her to come to this world.

The general purpose of man is to give God pleasure. Revelation 4:11. However, there's is a particular way that is peculiar to each individual on earth whereby God has purposed for him to give Him pleasure.

Now, it is your responsibility to know the chart that God has purposed for you to walk in. A number of times, such paths are always packaged in a simple assignment given by man.

For Saul, his divine assignment was packaged to him by his father. Kish, Saul’s father did not know he was being used by God to send his son on errands that will lead him to the throne.

In verse three, the Bible said Kish sent Saul on a mission to look for his missing donkeys but by verse sixteen, the narrative had changed.

Now one day before Saul’s arrival, the LORD had revealed to Samuel:

“About this time tomorrow I’ll send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you are to anoint him as Commander-in-Chief over my people Israel. He’ll deliver my people from the control of the Philistines, because I’ve seen the suffering of my people and because their cry has come up to me.”

When Samuel saw Saul, the LORD told him, “Here is the man I told you about. This man will rule over my people.” 1 Samuel 9:15-17.

If Saul had refused to obey his father, he would have simply disobeyed God's call.

If you cannot submit to people God had placed over you, you cannot submit to God even if He spoke to you thunderously.

YOUR DIVINE ASSIGNMENT IS PACKAGED IN SMALL ASSIGNMENTS.

Bible reading:1 Samuel 9:1-27.

PRAYER FOCUS

1. Father, give me the grace not to disdain little assignments but to do it 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...
