TODAY’S TOPIC: Importance of dedication
Text: 2 Samuel 8:9-15 (NIV):
"8:9. When Tou king of Hamath heard that David had defeated the entire army of Hadadezer,
8:10. he sent his son Joram to King David to greet him and congratulate him on his victory in battle over Hadadezer, who had been at war with Tou. Joram brought with him articles of silver and gold and bronze.
8:11. King David dedicated these articles to the LORD, as he had done with the silver and gold from all the nations he had subdued:
8:12. Edom and Moab, the Ammonites and the Philistines, and Amalek. He also dedicated the plunder taken from Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah.
8:13. And David became famous after he returned from striking down eighteen thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt.
8:14. He put garrisons throughout Edom, and all the Edomites became subject to David. The LORD gave David victory wherever he went.
8:15. David reigned over all Israel, doing what was just and right for all his people."
SHOWER (Reflection):
To dedicate is to show gratitude to God or someone for their contributions towards the person. King David throughout his life proved that he was worthless before God, worthless without God and worthless after God. That was why whenever he wants to embark on a journey or a course or cause, he would first seek the face of God. And whatever God says, he would abide by. And whenever God gives him victory too, he would give back the glory to him. As a result, he kept rising and became famous, according to what is written in this chapter. What is it you want to do you think you can do it alone because you have money or time or some other resources? What do you do whenever you gain victory? Learn to always give glory to God and He will forever make you prosperous and healthy.
