ROUGH BEGINNING

-

1 Samuel 21:10-11

So David escaped from Saul and went to King Achish of Gath.

But the officers of Achish were unhappy about his being there. “Isn’t this David, the king of the land?” they asked. “Isn’t he the one the people honor with dances, singing, 

‘Saul has killed his thousands, and David his ten thousands’?”


Most of the record of those who had received God's grace to excel in scriptures experienced their difficult moments. They had what we can call the "rough beginning".


Jacob had to flee from his father's house to go stay with his mother's relatives. Joseph was sold  into slavery to a strange land. Moses had to flee for his life. Mordecai had gallows built to hang him, the lists continues.


Here we see David who was already anointed king fleeing from Saul into the enemy's territory. It got so bad that he had to act like a madman to avoid being killed.


We must not go into despair when we face our initial challenges for it is just for a while, everything will fall into place in a short while.


1 Peter 5:10

In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.


Are you facing tough times, be encouraged, it is only for a little while, God is working out your breakthrough. You will come out stronger and better.


Don't be discouraged with that seeming degrading situation, it is only for a little while, your upliftment is on the way.


Just stay faithful, watch, pray and listen.


Remember:


Romans 8:28

And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.


Glory.


You may cry today and shout to God for help, your answer is here, it won't be long now.


Psalms 107:28-31

“Lord, help!” they cried in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.

He calmed the storm to a whisper and stilled the waves.

What a blessing was that stillness as he brought them safely into harbor!

Let them praise the Lord for his great love and for the wonderful things he has done for them.


Glory to God.


PRAYER

Glory to You Dear Loving Father, for You have heard my prayer and have come to help me. Lord You are lifting me up, my breakthrough is here, no one can stop it. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

@the watcher.

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
