DON'T FORGET YOUR FAMILY

-

1 Chronicles 16:43

Then all the people returned to their homes, and David turned and went home to bless his own family.


David had finally succeeded in bringing in the ark. He had given instructions to the priests and also the Levites, everything had been put in place.


1 Chronicles 16:1,4,37,39

They brought the Ark of God and placed it inside the special tent David had prepared for it. And they presented burnt offerings and peace offerings to God.

David appointed the following Levites to lead the people in worship before the Ark of the Lord—to invoke his blessings, to give thanks, and to praise the lord, the God of Israel.

David arranged for Asaph and his fellow Levites to serve regularly before the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant, doing whatever needed to be done each day.

Meanwhile, David stationed Zadok the priest and his fellow priests at the Tabernacle of the lord at the place of worship in Gibeon, where they continued to minister before the Lord.


He even wrote the song to be sang:


1 Chronicles 16:7

On that day David gave to Asaph and his fellow Levites this song of thanksgiving to the Lord:


What a powerful leader and priest!


Our take from this chapter, is that after all these he went back to his primary assignment:


1 Chronicles 16:43

Then all the people returned to their homes, and David turned and went home to bless his own family.


His family.


The family is the building block of every society. If we get it right on the family level surely we have already won as a nation.


After all the running here and there, after that beautiful work in your office or business, after all those ministry exploits. Take care of your home.


The home is your primary assignment. Not those other things, no not your business partners, not your supposed friends.


Are you called into ministry? Understand that your first call was to your family, your home is the primary ministry for every believer.


Don't get too occupied that you forget to build your home.


Get it right.


O help us Good Lord.


PRAYER

Loving Father help me win as a leader in the home, may I play my part well and not destroy my home but build it up by your Spirit and wisdom. I lean on You Lord thus I win. Glory to Your name Lord forevermore.


He calls us blessed.


Love

@the watcher.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
