Pursue Peace Earnestly II

DATE: Wednesday 24th June 2020.
TOPIC: Pursue Peace Earnestly II
TEXT: 1 Sam. 25:10,13, 23-24, 33-34. 

MESSAGE
Talking about the pursuit of peace, the scriptures urges us in psalms 34:14, "Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it." let us see from our text, an evil man named Nabal - churlish and evil in his doing; David - a good man even after the heart of God and Abigail - the peacemaker - a bridge builder with a beautiful contenance at heart. Firstly we have the man called Nabal, a son of Balial and full of foolishness has already beaten the drums off war to a Warlord called David who was an angry man because he was hungry at the time and In dire need of food supply for himself and His army. The report given to Abigail by the servant of Nabal who overheard Nabal's railings said he gave a reproachful reply to David's men. From a wider perspective we are told of the help David and his Men had rendered to them by being not only  a strong defence wall to them and their flocks but also, they were also good and caring. (Verse 15-16). Secondly, we have David  on verse 13, who would have (without a second thought) killed Nabal with all his household before the break of dawn as verse 34 records. 



Beloved, let us see Abigail the woman of peace who averted and aborted the evil and danger imminent. Verse 23 and 24 say,
"And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid."
Brethren, are there still women like Abigail to Christendom let alone the society? Even if David was a devil himself, would he leave this pure but desperate move of Peace treaty for war? We know the gifts/goods or enough food was gathered for David but the softness and piousness of Abigail's rendition soothed the war-lord and restrained him from evil. Good day.

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...

Do Your Search

By Date -
Do Your Search Acts 17:11 – These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. While in college and high school, you will agree with me that after you are taught by your instructor, you carried out some search to attain the truth and to know more. This we all did for a degree and knowledge that is corruptible, aren’t we supposed to do more for a knowledge that incorruptible and that will lead to our salvation? It is advisable that we should always search the scriptures even if it is the most revered religious leader or person that just spoken from the scripture. To stay deceivable then don’t study or search the scriptures but remember many even the agents of darkness can preach and quote the scriptures but they do this by tailoring the scripture to suite their purpose, 1 Thessalonians 5:21, 2 Corinthian 11:14-15. Beloved study your bible frequently, 2 Timoth...
