A PLACE CALL "THERE"

A PLACE CALL "THERE"

1 Kings 17:3‭-‬4 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there.‬

There is a place called “there”. Everyone has such place for him or her. This place is very vital for the manifestation of your destiny; it is also important for your provision. Your provision in life and ministry is tied to the place call “there”. There is a place for the fish to thrive. If you put the fish on dry land, you don’t need to do anything to it to die; it is just a matter of time; it will definitely suffocate and then die.

“There” is simply a divine location designed by the Spirit of God for the prosperity of his people. Your “there” could be the kind of church you should attend; the geographical place where you should live per time; the kind of ministry you should operate in; even who you should marry; the kind of job or business you should do. If you take this thing for granted, you can be grounded in life. Your “there” may be different from my “there”.

If you are not in your “there”, it does not matter what you do, you will not succeed; all your efforts will be useless; it will be like a car whose wheels is spinning but it is not making any meaningful acceleration. There is a place that God has called you to be per time for the fulfilment of your destiny. This is one reason why you can’t just be changing jobs; it could be detrimental. Before you change a job or business, be sure you check it out from the Holy Spirit for accuracy and precision.

GET OUT OF THE WRONG COMPANY!

GET OUT OF THE WRONG COMPANY!

2 Chronicles 18:31 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the Lord helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.

Our theme scripture is the story about king Jehoshaphat and king Ahab. Jehoshaphat was the son of Asa, all descendants of David. He was the king of Judah as at this time while Ahab was the king of Israel. Jehoshaphat had an affinity with Ahab, whom we all know was a wicked king who has been destined for destruction.

Ahab asked Jehoshaphat to go to battle with him against Syria to repossess Ramoth-Gilead which rightfully belonged to Israel. Ahab told Jehoshaphat that he will disguise himself while he should be in his kingly robe. While in battle, the men of Syria nearly killed Jehoshaphat thinking he was the king of Israel. Remember the battle was not about Jehoshaphat but Ahab, he only went to help Ahab; but he nearly got killed.

I have always wondered how a good man like king Jehoshaphat will have anything to do with a wicked king like Ahab. Even though Jehoshaphat was a good king, because of his affiliation with Ahab, he nearly got himself killed in a battle that did not concern him.

STOP THIS MOURNING CEREMONY!

STOP THIS MOURNING CEREMONY!

1 Samuel 16:1 And the Lord said unto Samuel, How long wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? fill thine horn with oil, and go, I will send thee to Jesse the Beth–lehemite: for I have provided me a king among his sons.

Saul disobeyed God and was rejected by God. The Prophet Samuel confronted king Saul for his foolishness and told him that God has taken the kingdom from him and has given it to a neighbour better than himself. Who was that neighbour better than Saul? His name is David which means “beloved”.

Samuel really mourned for Saul till Almighty God had to interrupt the mourning ceremony. Remember Samuel was the one who anointed Saul as king hence when God rejected Saul as king, it really pained him; it was as if his labour has been in vain. The grace lesson in this story is that Saul is a picture of the first covenant that God cut with Israel; and it is the covenant of the Law.

Hebrews 8:7‭-‬8 For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second.‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

THE DIVINE STRANGER

THE DIVINE STRANGER

Luke 10:34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

I just love this title. The story of the good Samaritan and the man who fell among thieves in scripture is just an amazing story. For most people all they see is just doing good to their neighbour. But the story has much deeper meaning than what most people know to be truth concerning this ancient story.

Now, the story is not a parable. Jesus said, there was a certain man. So certainly, this was something that really happened. We were told that a man travelled from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among thieves. Geographically, Jerusalem is higher than Jericho. So going from Jerusalem to Jericho means going down. Remember Jerusalem is the city of God hence the city of blessing; while Jericho was a city of the curse; Joshua cursed Jericho when he overthrew it.

To go from Jerusalem to Jericho means to go from blessing to curse. Once upon a time when God created man, man was in a state of blessing and prosperity. Then man sinned and went down to the city of the curse, wounded and half dead. All unbelievers are half dead even though many of them don’t know. Their spirit is completely cut off from God hence they cannot receive the things that be of God.

Then comes the Samaritan who got down from his donkey; this is very vital. Jesus did not sit in heaven to save us; but He came down to us to save us. The Samaritan then cleaned the wounds, poured oil and bandaged this broken and half dead man, and brought him to an inn to be taken care of.
