Revelation of the Word:

THEME: CONSULT GOD

1 Samuel 30:7-8 NIV

“Then David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelek, “Bring me the ephod.” Abiathar brought it to him, and David inquired of the Lord, “Shall I pursue this raiding party? Will I overtake them?” “Pursue them,” he answered. “You will certainly overtake them and succeed in the rescue.”

INSIGHT

-King David had a culture of always inquiring of the Lord before making decisions. While David and his armies were away, the Amalekites attacked Ziklag where their wives and children lived. They burnt the city and took away their loved ones captive. When the men came back and found the city in ruin and their families missing, they cried until they had no more strength to cry, but David strengthened himself in the Lord. David asked the Lord whether he should pursue the Amalekites and the Lord assured him of success. Often times have we encountered challenges and have gone ahead of the Lord in trying to get solutions for our distressful situations. Our God is mighty to save us from every difficulty and trouble that we might encounter. God calls us to trust in Him for nothing is too hard for Him (Jeremiah 32:17).

PRAYER

Lord You are Faithful to us even when we become faithless You remain to be faithful. May You keep us from every harm and watch over our lives. No weapon fashioned against us will prosper and no tongue that rises against us shall prevail in Your name Jesus. May You watch over our coming in and going out both now and forevermore. Today oh Lord we strengthen ourselves in You and in Your counsel. You are our victory and great reward. May You take over all the battles we are faced with and fight for us for the battle belongs to You our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May You restore unto us all that the enemy has stolen from us and may we recover all. We trust in You and know that You will surely do it for us. We pray that You will teach us how to enquire of You in all situations and to rely on Your counsel. We thank You for Your mighty hand that is able to save and conquer. We pray this in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
