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🙏

Sheep’s Clothing!

By Date -
Sheep’s Clothing! Matthew 7:14 – Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. It is no more a news that there are many false prophets in this world. They have been even since the Bible days. Elymas in Acts 13:8 was a false prophet that tried to pervert the heart of the people from God. That is the work of these false prophets. They are workers of the devil and nothing about their life is God’s; from the outside they look like God’s prophets and messengers but they are recruiting souls for the devil. They use magic, human wisdom, human strategies to do their work. Consider again, Balaam to an extent I will consider him as a false prophet because he tried to curse the blessed of God and to stop the will of God for His children. Though Balaam hears from God but he wasn’t doing things according to God’s plan and agenda. He planned to even make God’s children fall. Please read Revelation 2:14 and Jude 1:11. Those in sheep’s c

Ceaseless Celebration

By Date -
Ceaseless Celebration Leviticus 26:6 – And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land Ezekiel 32:1-10; 34:25-31, Esther 9:1-22, Jeremiah 52:31-34 With Joy, I welcome you all into this month. In this month, we will record ceaseless celebration on every side. This is as a result of what God has done for us and what He is doing as well. He has given us peace and rest on every side. He has incapacitated the enemies of our lives. This is indeed wonderful. In this last month of 2017, the magnitude of God’s judgement on the enemies of your life will render them missing on Earth and you will be celebrated. If you haven’t celebrated this year, this month grace will make you celebrate and if you had celebrated, your celebration will not cease or to sorrow. God will put laughter on your face, royal garments on you and you will be recompensed for all the cel

Grace for Exceeding Multiplication

By Date -
Grace for Exceeding Multiplication Genesis 17:1-2, 2 Corinthians 8:9 [2] And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. Grace is God's Riches At Christ Expense. It is the almightiness of God invading the hopelessness of human. It is a commander of attention. It reduces sweat and increases accomplishments, Psalm 89:20. Exceeding means to be very great and to surpass others. To set a new record. Multiplication is to increase greatly in number, not step by step as in addition. PREREQUISITE 1 - OBEDIENCE - Leviticus 25:18 You can't increase when you are unfaithful in your tithing obligation and others. 2 - REMEMBER THOSE THAT HAVE RULE OVER YOU - Hebrews 13:7. The blessing is given by GRACE and the blessing can be multiplied by GRACE, 2 Corinthians 8:1-4, Acts 4:32-35. PRAYERS May Divine grace for expansion be released upon us - Amen. ________________ A sermon by Apostle Samuel Idedevwo of Christ's Chosen Church of God
