Pursue Peace Earnestly II

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.

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

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
