MEMORY VERSE
“In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.” (Isaiah 27: 1)
SCRIPTURE READING: 1 Samuel 30: 1-20
1 And it came to pass, when David and his men were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the south, and Ziklag, and smitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire;
2 And had taken the women captives, that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.
3 So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, were taken captives.
4 Then David and the people that were with him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more power to weep.
5 And David’s two wives were taken captives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the wife of Nabal the Carmelite.
6 And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.
7 And David said to Abiathar the priest, Ahimelech’s son, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David.
8 And David enquired at the Lord, saying, Shall I pursue after this troop? shall I overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue: for thou shalt surely overtake them, and without fail recover all.
9 So David went, he and the six hundred men that were with him, and came to the brook Besor, where those that were left behind stayed.
10 But David pursued, he and four hundred men: for two hundred abode behind, which were so faint that they could not go over the brook Besor.
11 And they found an Egyptian in the field, and brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he did eat; and they made him drink water;
12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and two clusters of raisins: and when he had eaten, his spirit came again to him: for he had eaten no bread, nor drunk any water, three days and three nights.
13 And David said unto him, To whom belongest thou? and whence art thou? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master left me, because three days agone I fell sick.
14 We made an invasion upon the south of the Cherethites, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah, and upon the south of Caleb; and we burned Ziklag with fire.
15 And David said to him, Canst thou bring me down to this company? And he said, Swear unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring thee down to this company.
16 And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad upon all the earth, eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of Judah.
17 And David smote them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, which rode upon camels, and fled.
18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away: and David rescued his two wives.
19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.
20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, which they drave before those other cattle, and said, This is David’s spoil.

Streams of Joy Daily Devotional 7 May 2024 – MESSAGE
In Exodus 17, as the children of Israel left Egypt, the Amalekites came against them in Rephidim. It was in that battle that the Lord gave victory to Israel. Several generations later, the Amalekites came against David. Several generations later, the same negativity that came against the generation of Moses and Joshua, also came against David. The pattern of negativity that came against Moses and Joshua, also came against David.
Friend, hear me as I hear the Lord: you will not fight the same battles your fathers fought. You will not suffer what generations ahead of you suffered. You will not stumble where your past generations stumbled. You will not live with the same afflictions that your past generations lived with. You will not inherit the health challenges of those who have gone ahead of you. You will not labour under ancient strongholds of the enemy.
The same battle that came against the children of Israel, eventually came against David, and in the end, David ruthlessly decimated the Amalekites. What came against older generations came against David, and David rose to the occasion and crushed the enemies. If you are in that place where what your older generations suffered has arisen again against you, rise to the occasion and crush the enemy ruthlessly with your warfare prayers.
Today, I pray for you: altars that are speaking for repeated battles to come against you, let the Lord arise against them. Altars that are calling forth repeated negativity, let the Lord arise and crush them. Voices that are calling forth the same troubles that befell those ahead of you, I command them to shut up by fire. Instead of repeated battles, you shall have repeated favour, repeated breakthroughs, repeated elevation, etc.
The doors of repeated battles are shut in your life. The doors of repeated good news are open.
DECLARATION
I will not fight repeated battles, in Jesus’ name!
