TOPIC: THE BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE (PART 2)
TEXT : 2Samuel 9:1-7 “And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake? And there was of the house of Saul a servant whose name was Ziba. And when they had called him unto David, the king said unto him, Art thou Ziba? And he said, Thy servant is he. And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet. And the king said unto him, Where is he? And Ziba said unto the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar.
Then king David sent, and fetched him out of the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel,
from Lodebar. Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant!
And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.”
There is no condition of life that is design to last forever. Every issue of concern has an expiry date and that is why you must never allow your situation to lure you into depression because your condition now is not your portion in Christ. Everything of value looses value in the sight of the depressed including his own life and that is the reason why we have many suicide cases globally today. Our God has answers and solutions to life’s questions and problems the magnitude notwithstanding – Proverbs 23:18, 2Cor 4:16-18, Psalms 30:5
The life of Prince Mephibosheth, the grandson of King Saul is a very good example to draw a lesson from, that our case is not over until it is over. He became lame on his feet when he was five years old because he fell from the hand of his nurse and to worsen his case, he ended up in Lodebar ‘the land of the forgotten ones’ – 2Samuel 4:4
I don’t know who you are that is reading this message, no matter the area of life that you are presently challenged (career, business, academics, family, marriage, marital relationship, health etc), God will visit you this weekend, wipe away your secret tears and give you a new song to sing.
All you need for your joy to come in the morning is for God to open your book of remembrance, the moment it is opened, no devil can stand your turnaround testimonies.
To many people, Mephibosheth’s case was a closed case, but when God steps in, the devil stepped out of his life and the king sent for him and all that he lost to the death of his grandfather and his father was restored by the word of king David – Proverbs 8:4, 2Samuel 9:9-13
WHAT TO DO TO ENJOY OPEN BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE?
1. Render acceptable service to God continually – Malachi 3:16-18
2. Be committed to tithing – Malachi 3:8-10
3. Do good at all times to all people – Galatians 6:10, Hebrews 13:16
Learn to relieve people of their burdens and don’t add to them. It was the kindness of Jonathan to David that Mephibosheth reaped – 2Samuel 9:1
4. Contend against the power of darkness and their human agents to force your book of remembrance open on the altar of prayer and fasting – Esther 4:15-17, 6:1-3, Luke 18:1
5. Rear an altar of sacrifice for your book of remembrance to be opened – Psalms 20:1-4, 126:1-6, Acts 10:4
We serve a God of overnight and sudden intervention that specializes in changing the stories of the helpless, neglected, abandoned and forgotten.
Always remember that, all it takes for you to sing a new song is God with His human agents, and He can organize your healing, deliverance, financial breakthrough and change your story right now by breaking the sleep and withdrawing the joy of someone relevant in position of authority and then plant your name and your image in his heart after the order of Mephibosheth – 2Samuel 9:1, Esther 6:1-3
PRAYER POINT: Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, arise for my sudden change of story as you plant my name and my image in both the conscious and subconscious mind of someone in position of authority this weekend and let it result in an unending celebration in my family – Psalms 126:1-3, 2Samuel 9:1-5, 9-10, 13, Esther 6:1-3, 10-11
SEE YOU AT THE TOPMOST TOP.
REMAIN EVER BLESSED.
JESUS IS LORD.
