DAVID THE YOUTH AFTER GOD’S HEART

God bless you for taking your time to study.

TOPIC: DAVID THE YOUTH AFTER GOD’S HEART

TEXT: 1 Samuel 16: 11-13
MONDAY AUGUST 1st

Key verse: 1 Samuel 16:7b. For, man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart.
David was the youngest of all the children of Jesse, but the Bible shows us that he had a strong will and courage to do anything to please God. His lifestyle shows that he was a youth with humble heart to be in the bush alone keeping the flocks of his father, while the rest are at home. Being a shepherd boy helped to prepare him for the tough challenges in his adult life 
David was a brave warrior who was the least ever imagined to face and defeat the giant Goliath. He refused to be discouraged by his brethren and even King Saul to stay away from this giant who, according to them, has been fighting from his youth. He gave them testimony of how God had rescued him in the past from a lion and a bear that came attacking the sheep in his custody and he had faith that the same God will give this uncircumcised Philistine into his hands, God was moved by this testimony to answer his prayer. The mockery brought to the host of Israel came to an end with the defeat of Goliath. Many of us hide or refuse to share our testimonies so as to honour God, and move Him to give us more. Share your testimonies and put the devil to shame.
It takes the man of high level of humility to descend so low to accepting being an armour- bearer to a king when he had already been anointed as a king. David did. He also accepted playing the harp for King Saul whenever the evil spirit came upon him to get him well. He never showed any sign of protest or resistance. He served with humility. We need to exhibit the exemplary lifestyle of David in all areas of our life and teach our youths and children so. The race to get reach quick through diabolical and dishonest means must be discouraged. 

Thought for the day: For God has not given us the spirit of fear: but of power, and of love and of a sound mind.

Song for the day: The Lord has given us victory we will lift Him higher…

Bible reading for the day: 
Psalms 65-67; Romans 2

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will.

Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
