BIBLE TEXT:
1Samuel 30:16-20.
TOPIC:
ENCOURAGE YOURSELF AND SEEK HIM(3)
GOLDEN VERSE:
"Nothing was
missing, young or
old, boy or girl,
plunder or anything else they had taken. David brought
everything back"
1 Samuel 30:19.
Welcome to the concluding part of encouraging yourself part 3.
Today, you are seeing the third step taken by King David on the account of a distress time and the corresponding effect of his actions.
Two days ago, we saw how David encouraged himself after a long weeping, and yesterday, he inquired from
the Lord his next step of action, and today,
as a third and final step, he followed by
obeying the instruction of God to pursue and
Overtake.
He then recovered all that was lost, Sometimes, God's directive may seem
foolish in the sight of men but, whatever God says is always best for you.
Whatever the enemy has stolen from you, as you decide today to leave the land of wrong and come to Him, He will make
you recover all in Jesus Name.
Nothing was
missing out of what was stolen by the enemy- it is only God that can do this and He will do it in your life today.
The enemies were
already rejoicing but their joy against God's people was only for a short time.
Wherever your enemies are rejoicing Over you, God is putting an end to their joy.
Another thing you should know is that, God wants you to do something for Him which would guarantee Him doing Something for you too: not in terms of sacrifice; but in obedience to His word and a show of tendering the glory to God:
Therefore, try taking a step of faith today regarding those previously
abandoned battles in your life and see what God can do.
David didn't just sit and expect miracles; he took a step of faith, he stood up, took soldiers and faced the battle with the
expectation of victory, backed up by his faith in God.
Don't allow your challenges weigh you down, talk to God about it, face it and allow Him work out the victory.
It is time to encourage yourself now!
