DAY TWENTY
MEDITATION

‭‭1 Samuel 15:19 NIV‬‬
[19] Why did you not obey the Lord? Why did you pounce on the plunder and do evil in the eyes of the Lord?”

‭‭Philippians 3:7 ASV‬‬
[7] Howbeit what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.

The gains of unrighteousness is the reason many has lost their ministry. Why did you jump upon the plunder? A very heavy question!.

‭‭1 Samuel 13:14 ASV‬‬
[14] But now thy kingdom shall not continue: Jehovah hath sought him a man after his own heart, and Jehovah hath appointed him to be prince over his people, because thou hast not kept that which Jehovah commanded thee.

Let's Pray:-
- Father we repent as your people for lusting after unrighteous gains.
- Father, let the reign of men be brought to an end.
- Father, raise Sons who will be loyal to you again!

DAY ELEVEN
MEDITATION

‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭16:14‬ ‭HCSB‬‬
[14] Now the Spirit of the Lord had left Saul, and an evil spirit sent from the Lord began to torment him,

It is dangerous to follow some men; although anointed at some point, they have derailed from the path (spiritual progress). Apostle Paul says, follow me as I follow Christ.

What is revealed in this scripture is deep spiritual truth, and many of these people do not even know they are operating by a filthy spirit and some of us are loyalist like Jonathan who would eventually die with Saul in battle, although he could discern God is now with David.

Let's Pray:-
- Lord, enlighten the eyes of church folks to see deep spiritual matter
- Lord, may our discernment be heightened in this generation
- Lord, help your church not to be loyal to people who are misleading us

DAY TEN
MEDITATION

‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭10:26‬ ‭NIV‬‬
[26] Saul also went to his home in Gibeah, accompanied by valiant men whose hearts God had touched.

It is the Lord that touches men's hearts, it is the sovereign rule of God that causes men to follow us, no one can achieve anything except it is given from above, this the Lord reiterated to Pilate.

‭‭1 Chronicles‬ ‭12:22‬ ‭NIV‬‬
[22] Day after day men came to help David, until he had a great army, like the army of God.

Except the Lord builds, the builders does so in vain, may the Lord help us.

Let's Pray:-
- Lord, help Your elects in this nation.
- Lord, please build with us
- Lord, turn the hearts of men to Your true Sons

DAY NINE
MEDITATION

‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭13:9‬ ‭HCSB‬‬
[9] So Saul said, “Bring me the burnt offering and the fellowship offerings.” Then he offered the burnt offering.

This happened while Saul was waiting for the Prophet Samuel to arrive and the people were deserting Saul, he wanted men's accolade above God's!.

‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭14:35‬ ‭HCSB‬‬
[35] Then Saul built an altar to the Lord; it was the first time he had built an altar to the Lord.

A generation that doesn't pray and study God's Word would eventually be ruled by their flesh. This is the obvious thing reflecting in God's Church today, men and women who do not have a prayer life but have become leaders whom others are hoping to look like.

Let's Pray:-
- Lord, give us again a revival of Prayer and the Word
- Lord, pour upon Your Church, the Spirit of Grace
- Lord, give true influence to Your loyal servants

DAY EIGHT
MEDITATION

‭‭Genesis‬ ‭4:7‬ ‭HCSB‬‬
[7] If you do what is right, won’t you be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.”

A little compromise is how the journey into sin begins, little by little sin becomes the lord over a man. When we do what is right, we are safe.

‭‭1 Samuel‬ ‭15:22‬ ‭NIV‬‬
[22] But Samuel replied: “Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord? To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.

To OBEY is better, obedience is powerful. We need men that will be ready to do what is right in every situation and circumstances; we must become men who wants to be accepted by God at all times.

Let's Pray:-
- Lord, make me consistent in my walk with You
- Lord, empower us by your Spirit to rule over worldliness
- Lord, pour upon the nations the Spirit of Grace
