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

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
