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.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a

God's Security

DATE 27th January, 2023 TOPIC God's Security LIVING SCRIPTURE Exodus 13:21 KJV And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night: Security has been of prime importance to man after the fall of man from glory. The need for spiritual and physical security became a priority due to the rapid increase in crime and violence caused by man's sinful nature and the devil's influence on vulnerable souls. Some people go as far as fortifying themselves with charms and native concussion while other trust in gadgets and technology and the government to protect their lives and properties. And it was not so in the beginning when God created Adam and Eve. The Lord placed man in a garden (a peaceful serene environment) there was absolutely no reason to be afraid or the thought of thieves because the Lord was their security officer. Man fell and the hearts and intents of ma

Christ is not far!

DATE 22nd June, 2023 TOPIC Christ is not far! LIVING SCRIPTURE John 14:16-17 KJV And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;  [17] Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. Jesus Christ came to save us and that we might be one just as He and the Father in Heaven are one. He is not far from those who believe in Him and His words but still many look to the sky or climb high mountains to find the Lord who sits gloriously in our hearts by His Spirit and Words. His words says that the comforter will dwell (continually live in) you and not just that but He will also be with you. He is within and without us in covering and inspiration. Seek not Jesus that is far but He that is closer to your heart and by your confessions daily. TO-DO Call on Him this morning from your hearts and worship and fellowship in the
