THE SIGN ON THE MULBERRY TREES

DATE: NOVEMBER 11, 2021

TOPIC: THE SIGN ON THE MULBERRY TREES

BIBLE TEXT: 2 Samuel 5:23-24 NKJV - Therefore David inquired of the LORD, and He said, "You shall not go up; circle around behind them, and come upon them in front of the mulberry trees. [24] And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees, then you shall advance quickly. For then the LORD will go out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines."

It was in the time of war as battles raged over the land of Israel during the reign of King David. David was newly crowned and anointed King over all Israel, which made the Philistines angry and they came after Israel time after time. And each time, the LORD gave Israel victory over their enemies. This morning God wants us to walk and work with Him diligently and obediently as King David did. God’s ways and strategies varies with each battle, which the enemy can never understand. All He requires from us is our “Yes LORD! Lead LORD”.

God showed King David diverse kinds of strategies in dealing with a strong and stubborn enemy. Each pattern varied and was on the blind spots of the enemy. In dealing with the enemy and in any endeavor of our lives we need to always enquire of the LORD for His permission, power, authority and direction. God told David to lay ambush on the Philistines and wait for Heavenly support before taking any step to advance over the enemies.

King David obeyed the LORD and God’s angels marched upon the mulberry trees in hosts as the LORD went out before David and Israel to smite the host/armies of the Philistines. We need God’s help at all times. We may be good or a certified professional at that field but it all amounts to nothing if no sign or move of God is on that project. He walked on the mulberry trees for the victory of the saints, just as Christ hung on the tree, the cross of Calvary, that we might be saved when we believe.

PRAYER – Heavenly Father, thank you for the gift of Christ Jesus and your Holy Spirit. Please lead my life and drive me into your will and ways. Help me to obey your voice and word in Jesus name.

INSIGHT – When you follow God’s leading you’ll never lose to the devil but remain a conqueror till the end.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

DO TI NOW

May 11th – Capsule 11 TOPIC : DO IT NOW BIBLE TEXT : Redeeming the time, because the days are evil – Ephesians 5 vs. 16 How many times have you said, “I will do it tomorrow?” sometimes you put somethings off because you don’t think you know enough, can’t do it well enough. The fact is, there is no magic age at which excellence emerges and quality suddenly surfaces. Thomas Jefferson was 33 when he drafted the Declaration of Independence. Charles Dickens was 24 when he began his Pickwick Papers, and 25 when he wrote Oliver Twist. Newton was 24 when he formulated The Law of Gravity. A second danger is to think that creativity and invention belong to the young. Not so! Emmanuel Kant wrote his finest philosophical work at age 74. Verdi at 80 produced crossing the Bar, and Michelangelo completed his greatest work at 87, Moses was 80 when he led God’s people out of Egypt and 120 when he got to Canaan. Seize the day! Redeem the new moments of your life. Because the time and age ...
