TOPIC: TAKING THE RIGHT STEP
Memory Verse: Ps. 37:23
“23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD, And He delights in his way.”
Bible Reading: 1 kings 1:13-15
“13 Again, he sent a third captain of fifty with his fifty men. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and pleaded with him, and said to him: “Man of God, please let my life and the life of these fifty servants of yours be precious in your sight. 14 Look, fire has come down from heaven and burned up the first two captains of fifties with their fifties. But let my life now be precious in your sight.” 15 And the angel of the LORD said to Elijah, “Go down with him; do not be afraid of him.” So he arose and went down with him to the king.”
THROUGH RIGHT PRESENTATION
Everything in life has two phases as a coin has two phases. Every spoken words can be presented in two different ways. There’s a way you can say “sorry” and one gets angry and the same “sorry” been presented in a different way to the same person can quench anger. Presentation of your your words goes a long way to determine the right step. Between couples, superiors and subordinate, the way you present your discomfort matters a lot. Your presentation determines the responses you get.
One Hundred and two soldiers have been consumed by fire through wrong presentation of their assignment. The Man Of God releases fire on them despite being under the authority of the king. Then, here comes a captain and his fifty with the same message from the same king but with a different approach. He went on his knees and gave a good presentation of the act of the man of God as against the others captains and their men. He hadn’t delivered the message yet, before the angel gave an order to follow him.
As a wife/husband, how do you make your presentation? As a staff, how do you present a case to your superiors that it’s not your fault? As a worker in the vine yard, how do you explain situation to your leader proving, you are being led by the Holy Spirit to do what you are doing? When you are accused of offences not committed, how do you present your case? When you are proving your right you might present it wrongly; your presentations matters. Without the wisdom of God, it will be very hard to take right steps even with accumulated experiences. Your presentation matters in taking the right step.
Father, give me the mindset to present myself in the right way when it matters and where it matters in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.
