SCRIPTURE: 11 And as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here?
12 And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, he is before you: make haste now, for he came to day to the city; for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place: – 1 Samuel 9:11-12.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: If you are looking for an encounter with God, you must possess a sense of urgency.
The attitude of urgency is key to maximizing life and destiny. It is evident throughout Scripture that God’s dealings with His people are always done with a sense of urgency. It takes the attitude of urgency to achieve tangible results in life.
In our study today, we shall look at two examples of God’s dealings with His people in this way.
i. Exodus from the land of captivity.
The Scripture reveals that the night the children of Israel were to leave the land of Egypt, the land of captivity, they were charged to move with urgency. They were expected to carry their staff in their hand, their loins girded, and their shoes on their feet as they ate the Passover hastily. (Exodus 12:10-12).
The truth is, your captivity may not break until you possess a sense of urgency. Lackadaisical attitude is one reason why people remain in bondage and captivity.
ii. Saul’s encounter with the prophet Samuel.
How did Saul encounter prophet Samuel?
1 Samuel 9:11-12 says,
11 And as they went up the hill to the city, they found young maidens going out to draw water, and said unto them, Is the seer here? 12 And they answered them, and said, He is; behold, he is before you: make haste now, for he came to day to the city; for there is a sacrifice of the people to day in the high place:
Please take note of the sentence, make haste now, for he came to day to the city;
This means, if you are looking for an encounter with God, you must possess a sense of urgency. A sense of urgency is needed for the encounter of destiny. Encounter with God is not something you go about casually. If you are trusting God for an encounter, there is a need to make haste.
The sense of urgency is what characterized my life for many years. Whenever I know I need something, I tackle it with a sense of urgency.
Beloved, in the same way, make up your mind to approach life with a sense of urgency.
Remember this: If you are looking for an encounter with God, you must possess a sense of urgency.
ASSIGNMENT:
1. Refuse to be comfortable with any situation of bondage or captivity in your life; approach your deliverance and victory with a sense of urgency.
2. Be desperate for divine encounter with a sense of urgency like Jacob did in Genesis 32.
PRAYER: Lord, I ask that You baptize me with a sense of urgency. Help me never to walk through life with lackadaisical attitude, Lord, in Jesus’ Name.
FOR FUTHER UNDERSTANDING, GET THIS MESSAGE: EXISTENCE AT THE TOP – THE POWER OF SWIFT ACTION AND MOTION.
QUOTE: The folding of the hands to do nothing is the mark of a fool. Laziness is not wisdom; it is foolishness.
Culled from the book, “21 Foolish Things People Do” by Dr Paul Enenche.
DAILY READING: Daniel 7-9
AMAZING FACT: Identical twins don’t have the same fingerprints.
PROPHETIC WORD (DECLARATION):
Receive the fresh baptism of the sense of urgency in Jesus’ Name.
