TOPIC: LEAD ME FATHER: Parental Wilderness (5)
MEMORY VERSE:
Exodus 33:14.
“14. And he said, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.”
BIBLE READING:
2 Samuel 21:1, 3 & 6
1 There was a famine during David’s reign that lasted for three years, so David asked the lord about it. And the lord said, “The famine has come because Saul and his family are guilty of murdering the Gibeonites.”
3 David asked them, “What can I do for you? How can I make amends so that you will bless the lord’s people again?”
6 So let seven of Saul’s sons be handed over to us, and we will execute them before the lord at Gibeon, on the mountain of the lord.”“All right,” the king said, “I will do it.”
Thinking Point:
Parents can be the reason children are in the wilderness of Life, courtesy of their attitude.
This day, whatsoever reason behind that wilderness of your life, the Holy Spirit will intervene In Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
God can refine us using wilderness experience.
Our way of life, both present and past, can also lead us into the wilderness of life. Lastly, our parents can also be the reason we are in that wilderness. Many parents live an irresponsible life which goes a long way to affect their children. When people are in authority, some sow negative seeds, and some greed for money, power and wealth inflict their children with wilderness experience.
King Saul’s nonchalant attitude caused the land of Israel to go in to famine for three difficult years which was averted with the blood of seven of His children. We all need to trace the reason we are in that wilderness of life. Until we identify the reason we might be praying amiss. Until we know the source of our wilderness we might remain there for life. Parents, are you not the reason for your children’s wilderness? Some parents still try to control and dictate to their married children till their home gets broken. Many other wilderness can be contacted through the place of work, working with ministers of God, disobedience to parents and many more. But the major sources of wilderness are God, parent and self inflicted wilderness.
Father, we ask today, that you will reveal the source of our present situation /experience to us, show us the way out and set us free in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
Good Day and God Bless you.
