"Then Saul sent word to Jesse, saying "Allow David to remain in my service, for I am pleased with him..." (1 Samuel 16:22). If you are serious about finding and fulfilling your God-given destiny, you will notice that when the time is right and you are ready, God will send for you. He will open doors and give you favor with the right people. Who notices a shepherd boy tending a few sheep? God does! Your faithfulness in your present assignment is what qualifies you in God's eyes for your future one. So don't get discouraged or impatient - just stay faithful! God knows where to find you!

Day 38: Psalm 18, Proverbs 22:10-12, Acts 18, Zechariah 5-6 His Promises Never Fail For by You I can run against a troop, By my God I can leap over a wall. It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way perfect. He makes my feet like the feet of deer and sets me on my high places.He teaches my hands to make war so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze...Your right hand has held me up and Your gentleness has made me great.You enlarged my path under me... Psalms 18:29-30,32-36,44 NKJV More than twenty over years ago, when I was about to take my CLP examination, I was reading Proverbs 18 as well. The verse that says, "I can leap over a wall" was just so assuring from God that I knew I would pass my CLP. God is just so good. His timing is always perfect. His words of encouragement and His promises will never fail. Indeed, I can echo what Joshua said in Joshua 23:14, “Behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth. And you know in all your hearts and in all your ...

Day 187 - Have Fear of God Read: Psalm 145; Proverbs 6:28-31; Revelation 6; 2 Samuel 15-16 2 Samuel 15 & 16 15:13 A messenger came and told David, “The hearts of the people of Israel are with Absalom.”14 Then David said to all his officials who were with him in Jerusalem, “Come! We must flee, or none of us will escape from Absalom. We must leave immediately, or he will move quickly to overtake us and bring ruin on us and put the city to the sword.” To me, as a parent, it is so sad to note that King David got to run for his life from his own son, Absalom. His own son schemed for 40 years (15:7) to topple his own father - could you believe that? This is our Bible - it will not hide - all the successes and failures of God's people are truthfully reported. Why did King David suffer this? It started with his own sin of adultery with Bathsheba (11:3) Even though God had forgiven him when he sincerely repented by recognising that he sinned against the Lord (12:13), King David nee...

Day 183 - What Pleases Jesus Matters Read: Psalm 141; Proverbs 6:12-15; Revelation 2; 2 Samuel 7-8 “Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭2:20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ http://bible.us/114/rev.2.20.nkjv I have the privilege to complete two modules of MBA course in Oxford University recently. What impressed me most is the history of this great prestigious University. John and Charles Wesley's prayer meetings held there laid the foundations of the Methodist Church today. The way of teaching is based on the Disputations which was started 600 years ago in the Divinity School where 2 Professors would present their cases to determine who would be more persuasive. Hence, every student In Oxford is expected weekly to prepare 2500 words of essay whereby the lecturer will debate with the students and challenge his...
