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

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
