WAIT AND SEEK GOD!

(TEXT : Lamentations 3:25)
The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.

FOCUS :

Many at time when we are waiting, we get tired so easily. But the truth of the matter is, the waiting sides are the winning sides. Don’t be in the hurry than the plan that God has for your life, just follow His simple instructions and directions. If God says move to the right, lift, front, back just obey; and if God ask you to be patient, please, don’t be panicking, instead just do as He had commanded you.

In addition, lots of people don’t want to wait for God’s timing, because they have already decided to make a shortcut to better their journey here on earth; rather than that of God’s plans for their lives. Of course, it might turns out to be nice for them, but still it would have been better they had rather wait patiently for God’s time. Because whatever that seems nice, but it is not God’s time, will soon become a disaster and frustration.

Lamentations 3:32 But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.

Finally, our hope should be in God and not in the money, cars, houses, connections, titles, recognitions, position etc. that we are chasing all around. We will all leave EVERYTHING behind in this world someday, and we will all returned back to our Maker (God) with absolutely NOTHING in our hands; except to be judged for all our deeds while we were here on earth. Naked we all came into this world, certainly we will all returned with nakedness. When we seek the face of God in all we do and for the rest of our lives, we will find rest and we will fulfill our purpose no matter the challenges, temptations, depression, distraction, or the obstructions.

Lamentations 3:26-28 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth. He sitteth alone and keepeth silence, because he hath borne it upon him.

FAVOUR SPOKE FOR MEPHIBOSHETH (PART 3)!

(TEXT : 2 Samuel 9:7)
And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father’s sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.

FOCUS :

We have come to the end of this series, if you have been following this series, you will understand that we have covered two solid source of Mephibosheth receiving favour through the help of King David; and today we will be looking at the third one. And the truth is, the favour that Mephibosheth received has been divinely there all along, just needed someone from the linage of Johnathan to activate it. Of course, our God is not a respecter of persons. Because when you look at the condition of Mephibosheth, his deformity (lame) should have disqualified him from receiving such an honour; even in the palace of his grandfather (King Saul) opposition (king David). But when God is the one carrying you, no matter your condition, you will be favoured.

In addition, this will bring us to the last part of the favour that spoke for Mephibosheth. The third, enjoyment for Mephibosheth was, he enjoyed fellowship in the palace of King David. From the same (verse 7) let take a look: “and you shall eat bread at my table continually.” This phrase could only mean, the greater part of Salvation is the fellowship we can now have with the Lord. I certainly believe that so many will be looking at King David that why could he allowed someone who is disabled sitting with other royal family members at the same table for breakfast, lunch and dinner? Something must have been wrong with our king. I mean, if he really wants to help Mephibosheth, he could have successfully do that by asking us to build house for him and give him more than enough house help to help him with his daily needs. But the king insisted that the “lame Mephibosheth” will be sitting on the same table with him. And I’m sure that even Mephibosheth would have agreed that he should be living outside the palace; but as destiny will have it for him, he is a royal member and not to be thrown outside.

2 Samuel 9:8 And he bowed himself, and said, What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?

Finally, there is lots to learn about the power of “fellowship”; because it is the power of fellowship that will give birth to commitment and when “commitment and fellowship” are in one accord, then intimacy becomes priority and visible. King David had strong friendship with Johnathan, and that friendship grew into “commitment, fellowship and intimacy.” So even though Johnathan was no longer alive to enjoy this, his only son continued to enjoy it for as long he lived for. In the same way, when we have fellowship with God with all our heart and towards His work; we will surely reap the benefits of our fellowship. Meanwhile, what so many people are enjoying today are not because of their “hard labouring”; it might be simply because of some “friendship, commitment, fellowship and intimacy” their parents or grandparents have had with some people in the past or with God.

2 Samuel 9:9-13 Then the king called to Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said unto him, I have given unto thy master’s son all that pertained to Saul and to all his house. Thou therefore, and thy sons, and thy servants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt bring in the fruits, that thy master’s son may have food to eat: but Mephibosheth thy master’s son shall eat bread alway at my table. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants. Then said Ziba unto the king, According to all that my lord the king hath commanded his servant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, as one of the king’s sons. And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth. So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem: for he did eat continually at the king’s table; and was lame on both his feet.
