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...

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...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...
