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🙏

Don’t Look Back!

By Date -
Don’t Look Back! Luke 9:62 – And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. Have you answered the call to serve God as His son and daughter? Have you totally chosen Jehovah as your God? Have you decided to leave your old ways and cleave unto God? If yes! Beloved I congratulate you. But hope you took the cost of your choice?? [Please refer to yesterday’s sermon] God doesn’t want us to look back when we have answered the call, why? This is because of the following: Firstly, it brings shame to the body of Christ and makes people to despise Christ. Looking back is to be lukewarm and to depart from the first love! [Revelation 2:4, Revelation 3:16] Secondly, looking back makes the believer to suffer backwardness spiritually and physical. The faith of the believer suffers and takes a longer time to be rebuilt. [Hebrews 6:4]. Thirdly, looking back will make the person not to complete whatever he or she has started. This is w...

Faulty Covenant

By Date -
Faulty Covenant Hebrews 8:7 [7] For if that first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. Covenant as a strong bound that is not easily broken can be faulty. The covenant made betwixt God and the Israelites was a faulty covenant in this time of Grace but perfect in it's time. The covenant wasn't to lead sinner's unto Christ's but it was to lead them unto their destructive end quickly. The old covenant was a period of darkness and pains (because it was more by works and not by grace) but thanks to God who invalidated the old covenant and gave us the covenant of Grace where Jesus is the mediator no longer Moses. God spoken of the new covenant long ago in Jeremiah 31:31; it was manifested in Christ. This new covenant brings light to the soul. Every covenant that do not bring light to your life, be destroyed now by fire! Whatever makes you to live by work and not by grace be destroyed! For God's name sake, let everyt...

Everlasting Not Temporal!

By Date -
Everlasting Not Temporal! Jeremiah 31:3 – The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn thee Hello God’s Love! There is a love greater than the greatest love you have ever experience on earth, that love is the Love of God. Malachi 1:2. God love all but all don’t have the same love effect or love level. Long before we were born, God has already loved us. This His love is everlasting not temporal. This love is not subject to some conditions before it is demonstrated or shown. This love just flow from God our Father to us supernaturally. This everlasting love of God has made Him draw us from the troubles and problems of this world to His place of joy and everlasting peace. [Ephesians 1:3, Hebrews 1:1-5]. The fact remains that we did nothing to acquire God’s love but we do things to grow His love for us. In the same way, despite what we do His love for us remains but we ...
