LIFE ISN'T FAIR-2.

And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.

One major way to stay afloat in this unfair and turbulent world, is to always find a niche to encourage yourself in the Lord God.* 

David would have lost all; his wives, sons, daughters and that of his followers had it not been for his personal encouragement in the Lord. In the face of hard times and difficult situations, if you do not encourage yourself in the Lord, no one will do that for you.

When no one is available to support, comfort, console or encourage you in difficult times, you must always know one truth for certain- God is always there for you.

The one who orchestrates life that is unfair is not God but the devil. He is the one making your journey on this side  of eternity strenuous.

The enemy had entered David's camp and carted away his beloved ones and that of his men. They responded like everyone else would. They cried and grieved. This is the point many got to and did nothing more about their situation.

As for David, he went a bit further. Having encouraged himself in the Lord, he sought the Lord in prayer, and made a demand to reverse the unfavourable situation.

 *There are only very few situations you can do something about, but with God, you can do* *something about many things and everything.* The scripture says, "....for with God all things are possible"

Don't just sit down and be accepting every bad and unfair situations life  throws at you through the workings of the devil. Like David, you can also pursue, overtake and recover all.

That was David's enquiry. "And David enquired at the LORD, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all. (1 Samuel 30:8).

You can also pursue all the precious things the enemy had carted away, you can pursue your beloved ones that the enemies had turned their hearts away from you, you can pursue your lost dreams. When you pursue, the Lord said, you shall overtake and recover all.

 *BIBLE READING* : 

1 Samuel 30:1-19.

 *PRAYER FOCUS* 

1. Father Lord, I receive the grace to pursue, overtake and recover all that the enemies have stolen from me in Jesus name.

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...
