BEWARE OF OPPOSITIONS
1 Samuel 18:9 – And from that time on Saul kept a close eye on David. (NIV)
Read: 1 Samuel 17:28; 18:6-11, 1 Corinthians 16:9
Whatever achievement does not make the eye blink or the ear tingle is a usual success. God does not just want His children to succeed ordinarily but wants them to prosper to an outstanding level. However, when God lifts and promotes you, there is bound to be opposition.
A good case study is David, who experienced opposition in his rise to the top. The first instance of opposition occurred when David’s elder brother, Eliab, attempted to prevent him from confronting Goliath, believing that David would gain fame from the encounter. The second opposition was Saul’s attempt on David’s life. As seen in today’s Bible text, Saul intended to kill the boy because he saw him as a threat to his throne, especially after people sang David’s praises more than his. In all, David excelled above his adversaries.
Beloved, whatever gigantic achievement you are praying about and working to attain, be prepared for enemies when the testimony manifests. The opposition could be from your inner circle, family, or people who envy and despise you for no reason. The good news is that, with God on your side, you will prevail as David did. On the other hand, if your success does not reach a level that causes a stir, you need to work harder. God is not mediocre! He can empower you to make a generational impact. Tell God to open your eyes and assist you in your efforts so that you can become a star for Him.
PRAYER
Hymn: Jesus Saves – Priscilla J. Owens (1882)
1. Father, reveal my vulnerable points of attack and silence every opposition to my rising.
(MIDNIGHT PRAYER)
1. Father, remove anything that could prevent me from reaching the top.
2. Father, turn every celebration of the enemy over my life into sorrow.
3. Father, please give me tangible reasons to laugh and rejoice before this month ends.
4. Father, let it rain again in our land, homes, nation, and Church.
YOUR SEED SHALL BE MIGHTY!
