1 Now these were the men who came to David at Ziklag while he was still a fugitive from Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men, helpers in the war, 

2 armed with bows, using both the right hand and the left in hurling stones and shooting arrows with the bow. They were of Benjamin, Saul’s brethren.

3 The chief was Ahiezer, then Joash, the sons of Shemaah the Gibeathite; Jeziel and Pelet the sons of Azmaveth; Berachah, and Jehu the Anathothite;

7 and Joelah and Zebadiah the sons of Jeroham of Gedor.

8 Some Gadites joined David at the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for battle, who could handle shield and spear, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and were as swift as gazelles on the mountains:

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:

HENCEFORTH, GOD WILL MAKE YOU FAITHFUL IN ALL YOUR AFFAIRS, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

 

THE MESSAGE:

One of the great qualities of the Almighty God is FAITHFULNESS. 1 Thessalonians 5:24 says, "Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it." Another Scripture that stresses the faithfulness of God is in 1 John 1:9. It says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Similarly, in Psalm 46:1, the Bible says, "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble." This means that in all that our God does, faithfulness is His name.

 

The same God has made us just in His image and likeness. Therefore, the mind in Him should be in us also. As children of the Most High God, we are to be faithful in everything just as our Father is.

 

Faithfulness is a mutual quality needed from one another in life. Today's leaders, whether spiritual, business, secular or political need people to work with. They need people that can be trusted with responsibilities, individuals or groups that can work together with them for a common goal. Such must be people that are called to support the leader and not to contest for right of authority. They have no ulterior motive of any kind but the leader's interest. In the same vein, the leaders are also required to be faithful to those who work with them.

 

In the home front, the husband needs faithful helpers as wife and children. The same goes for the wife and children who also need a faithful husband and father.

 

It is a fact of life that everyone needs help and helpers. This explains the humanity in us, and makes faithfulness in helping a mutual human demand. Unfortunately, many helpers in our world today are not faithful, thereby making themselves undependable and untrustworthy. You need to know that you are a helper to someone somewhere and somehow. Are you a faithful helper? Are you cheerfully rendering the help?

 

PRAYER POINTS:

MORNING

1. Thank You, Father, for the privilege and honour to be among the chosen few, called to serve You, in the name of Jesus.

2. Thank You, faithful Father, for Your love, kindness and mercies that endure forever over my life, in the name of Jesus.

3. Father, in any area of my life and stewardship that I have fallen short of Your standard and glory, forgive me, in the name of Jesus.

 

 

EVENING 

4. Father, without You, I can achieve nothing, please, empower me to succeed and prosper in all that You have assigned me to do, in the name of Jesus.

5. Father, help me to be diligent and faithful in all my services to You and give me the grace to do Your work according to Your instructions and specifications, in the name of Jesus.

6. Father, give me the grace to do Your work in the day, because the night cometh, when no man can work, in the name of Jesus.

7. Father, let every spirit of procrastination, laziness and lukewarmness, eye service in my life, be consumed by Your fire, in the name of Jesus.

 

 

 

DO HAVE A BLESSED DAY
