Category: Seeking His Counsel Brings Second Chance

1 Now it happened, when David and his men came to Ziklag, on the third day, that the Amalekites had invaded the South and Ziklag, attacked Ziklag and burned it with fire,

2 and had taken captive the women and those who were there, from small to great; they did not kill anyone, but carried them away and went their way.

3 So David and his men came to the city, and there it was, burned with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters had been taken captive.

4 Then David and the people who were with him lifted up their voices and wept, until they had no more power to weep.

5 And David’s two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite, had been taken captive.

7 Then David said to Abiathar the priest,  Ahimelech’s son, “Please bring the ephod here to me.” And Abiathar brought the ephod to David.

8 So David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?” And He answered him, “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all. ”

18 So David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away, and  David rescued his two wives. 19 And nothing of theirs was lacking, either small or great, sons or daughters, spoil or anything which they had taken from them; David recovered all.

We are very familiar with this second Chance given to King David to-be. David went out to fight against the children of Israelite while hiding with the Philistine, (1 Sam. 29). He was denied going to the battle field with the Philistines. So, God was angry with David and sent the Amalekites to David’s camp who carried away all their families and belongs.

The scripture said, they all wept when they got back to the camp and met it empty. His followers were ready to stone David for leading them to battle when their families were carried away, but David sought the face of the Lord His God through Abiathar the priest, and God gave him the nod to go after the Amalekites. David and his people then recovered all that was carried away from them.

Seeking God’s face in times of challenges bring a Second Chance. It simply means you are handing over to God for His will to be done. When you seek His will, it comes as a Second Chance. Jesus said, 

“Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew. 6:10

When God’s will is done, it comes as a Second Chance. I pray with you today, as we seek His face this week, our Second Chance will Manifest in Jesus Mighty Name. He will give us directives to break forth in Jesus Mighty Name. Seek His face to receive the next step to take concerning that pressing issue of your life. Enough of men information, seek God’s face and your situation will change for good in Jesus precious name, Amen.

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.
