Inordinate Position Seeking

By Date -
MEDITATION
2 KINGS 11:1-12

Beware of inordinate position seeking

1. Inordinate position seekers
a. They are willing to destroy or assassinate the character of anybody that stands in their way of ambition v1. 
b. They, perhaps unconsciously, value their ambitions more than human lives v1.
c. They hypocritically pretend to want to serve when in actual sense they want people to serve their ambitions and lists v1.
d. The will of God is secondary to them and seeking His will is just to ask God to rubber stamp their ambitions v1.
e. They may get what they want but that thing will eventually destroy them and if care is not taken end up in hell vv13-15.

Inordinate Affections and Lust — Secrets

Q What are the other  characteristics inordinate position seekers. 
2. The right attitude to follow
The young Joash, who did not fight for the throne, eventually became the king.
a. Think twice before struggling for any position for which nobody recommends you. It may be that people don't see the grace for that position in you or it is not yet time. The same is true for both secular and spiritual v4. 
b. Even if it is God who you believe speaks to you, there will be sincere people who will encourage and recommend you to move forward. Before David became King, many people have seen and confessed royalty in him vv4.
c. God will bring genuine helpers your way to help and support you to climb that position if it is the will of God vv5-8. In this case it was Jehoiada and some soldiers v12. 
d. Make sure you stick to Christian principles and never compromise Christian's graces and virtues on your pathway of fulfilling your ambition. Beware because one compromise will lead to another.
e. Don't outpace or think to outsmart God. Hebrews 5:4, Habakkuk 2:3.
Pray that God will purge you from every trace of inordinate ambition🙏
Pray for grace not to move faster or be too slow for God🙏
Pray that God will work mightily in you and send helpers to make you what He planned for your destiny🙏
Ask God that He will frustrate every move of our youths in the church  towards self destruct in the name of ambition🙏

Heart Not Garment - 2

By Date -
"Rend your heart, and not your garments." --Joel 2:13 Apart from vital godliness all religion is utterly vain; offered without a sincere heart, every form of worship is a solemn sham and an impudent mockery of the majesty of heaven. HEART-RENDING is divinely wrought and solemnly felt. It is a secret grief which is personally experienced, not in mere form, but as a deep, soul-moving work of the Holy Spirit upon the inmost heart of each believer. It is not a matter to be merely talked of and believed in, but keenly and sensitively felt in every living child of the living God. It is powerfully humiliating, and completely sin-purging; but then it is sweetly preparative for those gracious consolations which proud un-humbled spirits are unable to receive; and it is distinctly discriminating, for it belongs to the elect of God, and to them alone.

The True Picture Of The Church Today II

By Date -
THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL DATE: Sunday 7th, June 2020. TOPIC: The True Picture Of The Church Today II TEXT: Rev. 3:15  MESSAGE "I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot".Vs 15, so then because thou art lukewarm, neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Lukewarmness and indifference in religion is the worst tempter in the world. The husband of a lukewarm wife is always confused as he would not know when and how to please the wife. So are members of the church whose heart cannot be determined. They are between two opinions. We also have these in the church because they are high minded and proud, they have unknowingly overlooked the necessity of their souls as they gorgeously dressed up in Costly apparel at the expense and decay of their souls, making them to be wretched poor and miserable.  Also there is the state of blindness which the devil is using against the church today which has made them very weak and defensele...
