TODAY’S TOPIC: The Escape route from envy
Text: 1 Samuel 21: (NIV Bible)
"21:10 That day David fled from Saul and went to Achish king of Gath.
21:11 But the servants of Achish said to him, "Isn't this David, the king of the land? Isn't he the one they sing about in their dances: "'Saul has slain his thousands, and David his tens of thousands'?"
21:12 David took these words to heart and was very much afraid of Achish king of Gath.
21:13 So he pretended to be insane in their presence; and while he was in their hands he acted like a madman, making marks on the doors of the gate and letting saliva run down his beard.
21:14 Achish said to his servants, "Look at the man! He is insane! Why bring him to me?
21:15 Am I so short of madmen that you have to bring this fellow here to carry on like this in front of me? Must this man come into my house?"
*SHOWER:*
When the anger of king Saul towards David became too much, he became conscious of where he was and what he does. His speeches and actions became calculated to easily decipher who is a true friend or a pretender. You can see how he acted as a mad man here to survive an impending danger. Our fame, wealth, gifts, beauty and others can attract envy and hatred towards. We must not always think that everything must be solved spiritually. Try to always study, understand your immediate environment and respond to it accordingly. Our God has already empowered us to overcome our challenges.
*PRAYER/DECLARATIONS*
O God, I adore You for today. Open my eyes to know You, strengthen me to work in Your vineyard, do not allow me fall into the traps of Your enemies in Jesus name, Amen!
*1. I'm an overcomer. My family are overcomers. We shall not fall to the traps of the enemies.*
*2. By the power in the blood Jesus Christ, I will always detect and flee away from all traps, sins and satanic powers.*
*3. I hereby decree and declare that God has made me a winner and not a looser in Jesus name, Amen.*
