Anglican Daily Fountain Devotional 21 July 2025 STUDY:
David stayed at Hebron where he received the representatives of all the tribes of Israel who came to present the whole Israel to him and accept him as their new king. He ascended the throne at the age of thirty, after several years from the time he was anointed by Prophet Samuel at Bethel (I Sam. 16:12-13). At Hebron, he reigned over Judah for seven years and six months, while he reigned in Jerusalem for thirty-three years (v.5).
David took a bold step to conquer Jerusalem, took it away from the Jebusites and made it the capital city of his reign. He was given a nationwide support and ruled over the nation Israel with the full endorsement of the people. Beloved, you need to understand the fact that fulfilment of one’s mandate in life does not come casually or happen overnight. It takes process for you to come to the point of fulfilment of God’s mandate for your life.
Note that God does not change his plan and purpose but He can change the means through which He accomplishes them. With God, nothing happens by accident, there is always a preparatory stage for whosoever God determines to lift up to fulfil destiny in life. Like David, what you are experiencing today may be part of the requirements for you to fulfil God’s purpose for your life.
David had to go through a wilderness experience for him to ascend the throne. You need to be courageous, faithful and focused as you journey into the fulfilment of God’s purpose for your life.
PRAYER: Father, give me the grace to be focused and fulfil my purpose in life in Jesus’ name.
MEDITATION: God says “I will blanket My protection over all who trust in Me. Psalm 5:11
