TOPIC: SIDE ATTRACTION SERVICES 3: Assist With Your Power.
MEMORY VERSE:
Ps. 78:70.
“70 He also chose David His servant, And took him from the sheepfolds;
BIBLE READING:
1 Sam. 25:14-17.
“14 Now one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal’s wife, saying, “Look, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master; and he reviled them.
15 But the men were very good to us, and we were not hurt, nor did we miss anything as long as we accompanied them, when we were in the fields.
16 They were a wall to us both by night and day, all the time we were with them keeping the sheep.
17 Now therefore, know and consider what you will do, for harm is determined against our master and against all his household. For he is such a scoundrel that one cannot speak to him.”
Today, being the third day of this topic, we are still studying David and how He used his position. David was in the wilderness where he was running for his life from King Saul. He became homeless and unsettled. In the midst of all these, he was mighty with Four Hundred men around him, how were they feeding? Only God knows. But there was a prosperous man who had his herdsmen around David in the wilderness day and night. Nobody asked David for protection from any arm but David and his men made it a point of duty to watch over Nabal’s flock. They were surely in need of food and meat daily, but David never touches the man’s flocks neither was there a day when one of it got missing. He used his power to help the unknown man. He and his four hundred men would have harassed the herdsmen and slaughtered many sheep several times but he chose to use his power to protect them. He wasn’t on an errand to protect anyone nor was he paid to do it but he made it a side attraction service, and this service earned him Nabal’s wife, Abigail, as a wife.
Are you using your power to protect your household alone or do others feel your impact? You oppressed others or uplift others? Yes, you are empowered but is it for you and your family alone or to protect everyone around you? Wherever you are today, search for that side attraction service that your power can be used for and start doing it. Every side attraction service can earn more than your real services.
God Bless you and Good Morning.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
