MEMORIZE: “And Mephibosheth had a young son, whose name was Micha. And all that dwelt in the house of Ziba were servants unto Mephibosheth” (2 Samuel 9:12)
READ: 2 Samuel 9:5-10
In Israel, the Passover was significant in many ways. The end of an era is the beginning of another. Until one era ends, another will not start. The Passover experience recorded in Exodus 12:2-12 terminated the era of Egyptian bondage. For 430 years, the Israelites acted out the script of slavery the Egyptians wrote for them.
Some Christians today are still living according to the dictates of their puppet masters. They are not free to live their lives. They cannot go where they want, but where their manipulators ask them to. They cannot wear the fine clothes they desire, but the rags provided by their oppressors.
They cannot ride their choice cars, but the scrap their controllers allow them. They start building a boys quarters and it takes them a life time to complete it. Are you living out the enemy’s script? The Lord will bring an end to that this season in the mighty Name of Jesus. The Israelites also moved from poverty to prosperity.
For years they lived from hand to mouth. Their labors only enriched their enemies while they got more impoverished. They kept wandering within the circle of poverty until that era came to an end. For a user of this Devotional, your era of acute poverty has ended, and the era of immense wealth has just began.
Some people have beautiful ideas yet cannot benefit from their use. Such ideas only help to empower others. Sometimes, their ideas are stolen and they would have to start all over again.
At other times, they have the ideas that could take them into prominence, prosperity and a blissful time on earth, yet such ideas remain dead or at best impotent. Every dead or impotent idea meant to take you to your promised land shall receive divine breath today. It shall begin to speak. It shall no more be hid. That idea shall bring you out. It shall change your status. It shall cause you to be the head in Jesus’ Name.
The Lord is giving you a new beginning. The era of poverty is coming to an end. The Lord will promote you to become an employer of labor. The era of unrewarded labor has come to an end in your life. From now on, you will reap from your investments. Your certificates and wealth of experience will work for you. You will harvest from the vineyard you planted.
Like Mephibosheth, you will attain a place of prominence.
ACTIONPOINT: Ask God to release the payment for unrewarded labor and effort to you.
Sermon by PASTOR E.O. ADEBOYE
I have been cheated and betrayed by my parents after working for 25yrs together. I have a family with 3 children. I have been left in huge debts my parents are my really enimes they bribeing the police to make me suffer they have gone to court of law to get an order to kick me out of the house we built during my wedding . I have been crying for justice to God but its not coming . Who wil help me . Who to tell who to ask from.
Ayub,
This is an unusual case. The Bible says Honour your parents…so it is pretty difficult for God to answer your prayers if it is to against your parents.No matter what your parents are doing to you, rememeber you came to earth through them biologically, and with prayers you can turn them to Christ..please pray for their salvation in Jesus name
