FIRE SCRIPTURE:
1 Samuel 30:17-20 (Christian Standard Bible)
17 David slaughtered them from twilight until the evening of the next day. None of them escaped, except four hundred young men who got on camels and fled.
18 David recovered everything the Amalekites had taken; he also rescued his two wives. 19 Nothing of theirs was missing from the youngest to the oldest, including the sons and daughters, and all the plunder the Amalekites had taken. David got everything back.
20 He took all the flocks and herds, which were driven ahead of the other livestock, and the people shouted, “This is David’s plunder!”
MESSAGE:
There are two lessons to be learnt in the Ziklag debacle. The first is the providence of God. The providence of God is His “unseen” Hand in all the events of life, assuring and achieving His purposes and promises through our actions.
In the providence of God, the Amalekite raiders had attacked Ziklag. They not only plundered Ziklag, but also a number of other Philistine and Israelite cities. But with the help of God, David and his men not only obtained their own goods back, but also the goods of many others.
This is only possible when you invite God into your affairs. The Bible records that David shared this spoil with a number of Israelite Princes and towns, thus ingratiating them to himself. The Ziklag ‘loss’ thus became instrumental in causing David to return very quickly to the land of Judah, where he was eventually made the King of Judah.
This goes to show that all things do truly work together for good, to those who love God, and to those who are the called according to His purpose. He sees it all and knows where and when our strength can no longer carry on.
The second lesson is the principle of Grace. This is a most important principle that forces us to renew our stand as members of the body of Christ. The victory David and his men won over the Amalekites was really God’s victory. Men played a part in it, but in the final analysis, it was God’s victory.
Beloved, whatever situation you are going through today, God knows. If you will only encourage yourself in Him, He will turn the situation around and glorify Himself.
If only you will trust completely in His strength, He will give you the grace to pursue, to overtake and to recover all. You will have the neck of your enemies, and you will divide their spoils, in the Name of Jesus.
PRAYER POINTS:
MORNING
1. I pursue, I overtake, and I recover all my stolen blessings, in the Name of Jesus.
2. Anything hindering me from greatness, give way now, in the Name of Jesus.
3. Total recovery will be my portion from now on, in the Name of Jesus.
EVENING
4. I will not die a premature death, in the Name of Jesus.
5. I refuse to be a candidate of the tail, in the Name of Jesus.
6. O Lord my Father, arise in my situation today and give me a turnaround miracle, in the Name of Jesus.
7. Spirit of the living God, establish me in righteousness, in Jesus’ Name.
