Answer Him

ANSWER HIM< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Exodus 1:15-22, 2:1-10

 

God called you for a purpose. He has been guiding you since you were born. He told Jeremiah in Jeremiah.1:5 ÒBefore I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.Ó This is a testimony to the fact that we are all under His hands. God is not a slave master; He is a saving Master. He will lead us to where He wants us. The choice, however, is always in our hands. Moses, born in due season, escaped the extinction plan of Pharaoh for the male son of Hebrew women at birth. The hand of God in Moses life delivered him from the death that took so many of his age at birth. You may wonder why you are still alive today after abusing yourself so much and being abused by others. Doing those harmful things that took so many lives; being in places that so many have been and never returned alive; living the kind of life that has claimed the lives of so many others. God has a plan for you. Have you given it all to Him? What is holding you back from giving Him all? Answer GodÕs call, live in line of His word and He will see you through. A failure not to walk in line of GodÕs word is a failure from the presence of His holy name. It is time to come out of a disobedient life and enter into obedient life. Going to church is not answering Him if disobeying His word is your life style. Give unto Him a reasonable sacrifice and listen to His voice. 1Samuel 15:22, ÒSo Samuel said: ÔHas the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as to obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams.ÕÓ Answer His calling, Obey His command, and He will make you commander of signs and wonders.

Elevation

1 Samuel 18:1-7

 

You enter a new realm when your hindrances have been totally disassembled, you have become the champion over your hindrances. Celebrate by giving God all the glory. Let your celebration not eliminate you but elevate you. < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Israel celebrated David and Saul elevated him to a position of more responsibility. At DavidÕs new assignment he needed to reassign himself to a new way of approaching life. Is your case like that of David? You have been elevated, you have moved onto a new ground where a new force will rise in attempt for you not to go further. From the time you have knocked down your Goliath you are bound to progress if you will take to the word of wisdom. The word of wisdom is the word of God and it is able to keep you all through. The word of wisdom kept David as long as he was able to remain in the word of wisdom. 1Samuel 18:5, ÒSo David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved wisely. And Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of SaulÕs servants.Ó Ask God today to endue you with all that it takes to become one that will behave wisely in all the walks of your life. When you begin to walk wisely, you will be above, not below and you will be accepted by man and woman on your way. Heaven will answer on your behalf and earth will not be able to stop you from where He is taking you. With God, nothing is impossible. Ask and it shall be for you to the glory of the Almighty God.

Disassemble

DISASSEMBLE< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

1 Samuel 17:50-58

 

The wicked one that God has enabled, you to bring down is yet to be grounded and permanently terminated until it is cut off. David called and anointed by God through the hand of Samuel to become the next king after Saul. His calling was not a confirmation but an indication of where God was taking him to. Having been privileged to bring down the giant, the agent of hindrance on his way to where God wanted to place him, there was a need to permanently terminate the giant. In every victory over an agent of hindrance, there will always be a need for a permanent termination. In the case of David and Goliath, there was a point of permanent termination. 1Samuel 17:51, ÒTherefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his word and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.Ó The Philistines knew that their champion was down; they were still waiting for a slight move that would convince them that he could stand again. When David ran over him, stood over him, drew out his sword and cut his head off, they knew that their champion was permanently disassembled. Do not take a turn away from the hindrance that God has brought down on your behalf, do not go into celebration too early. Ask Him to enable you to run over, stand over, and cut off its head for a permanent termination that will disrupt all of his accomplices. God is able enable you and you will disable all that does not glorify His name in your life.

In getting to the top, to your expected end, where God wants  you, there will be giants on the way to deny you. Just in case you are facing a massive giant on your way, consult with David. He was anointed by God through Samuel but still has to travel through a passage before getting through to GodÕs plan for his life. In DavidÕs confrontation with the giant, nothing or anyone was in place to work for him in bringing down the giant except the testimony of what God has done in his life. When King Saul voiced discouragement he responded with testimony of what God did for him. 1Samuel 17:34, ÒBut David said to Saul, ÔYour servant used to keep his fatherÕs sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, I went out after it and delivered the lamb from its mouth; and when it arose against me , I caught it by its beard, and struck and killed it.Ó He also stated in v.37, ÒMoreover David said, ÔThe LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, ÔGo, and the LORD be with you!ÕÓ David also held on to the name of God when he came face to face with the giant. 1Samuel 17:45, ÒThen David said to the Philistines, ÔYou come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defiled.Ó The giant, Mr. Goliath fell for David because of DavidÕs testimony and because David could not keep quiet calling on the name of his God. Have you approached your Goliath yet? Remember what God has done for you and do not stop calling His name. David got to his divine schedule, you will get there.

His Word

HIS WORD< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

Acts 4: 1-13

 

All you need in this world is His word. Acts 4:12, ÒFor the word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.Ó Are you having much time for the word or more time for the world? If you are spending time and doing the word, the word of God will no doubt work for you in this world of wickedness. However, if your time for the world is overtaking your time for the word you have a need for a serious readjustment. It will be impossible for someone that is not answering to the word of God to be expecting the word to answer for him or her. The word of God is true and amen. The word of God cannot fail and will not fail. If you have been failing or you fail by doing only one out of ten of His words the word will not answer. There is always a password to log into an account or file on a computer. When one of the words is missing or incorrect, there will never be a granted assess. Take it to mind that you can make all the noise quoting the word, if you have failed to make the word of God be your coat you will be naked and exposed to the wicked ones of this world. When the word is not sinking in you, your faith will not rise. It is time for you to stop sinking, start to swim in the word of God so that your faith will begin to rise. Let not the power of this world ground you, take cover in the word of God.
