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🙏

Divine Opening

By Date -
Divine Opening “ Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut; ” - - - Isaiah 45:1 Hallelujah! God has graciously brought us to the second month of this year. As the Lord themed this year as our year of Divine Beautification so also is this month themed as our month of Divine Openings. You may be thinking how will come bring to past His promises but remember that God can do anything at any time He wishes to. He can use anyone to bring to pass this Divine Opening. From the passage, He used Cyrus to subdue nations and Jehovah using any person to do His will is not an issue. I pray that in any area of your life that you are experiencing difficult and closed doors, Jehovah will cause the doors to be open unto you. No more will you experience difficulty and shortages. The doors of your supply are open...

Make Me Known! Habakkuk 3:2 [2] Yahweh, I have heard of your fame. I stand in awe of your deeds, Yahweh. Renew your work in the middle of the years. In the middle of the years make it known.

Mystery of Addition

By Date -
Acts 2:47 … And the Lord added to the church daily … A careful and holy spirit concentrated reading shows that there is a mystery to addition. Addition is triggered by being in Favour with both God and Human. However, there is an action that triggers the state of being in favour with God and Human. Studying Luke 6:38, Luke 2:52 and other scriptures shows that there can’t be addition without favour and there can’t be favour without giving and oneness. The giving is not solely financial, but in all aspects of life. What you give never comes back to you in same quantity and quality. It is increased!   Oneness is not just with people around, but also with thyself. Yes, you can be one with you. When your mind and heart and body is one then there won’t be rivalry even among the members of the body and, the doing and thinking of someone. If you need addition in anything you do, simply give and be one. Give to God and be one with God! Give to human and be one with human!! Give t...
