Humilty Bestows Wisdom

Text: 2 Samuel 23-1 Kings 1

Rhema Verse: 1 Kings 3:7-9“Now, Lord my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties.  Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number. So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?”

Message: Solomon did everything his father King David had requested of him, within three years he established his kingdom. But after finishing David's to-do-lists he had no idea what come's next. He was not a warrior like his father, not too handsome and famous like his brother Absalom. But what King Solomon had was a realization that he needed wisdom and discernment to govern the whole nation that belonged to You LORD. To take Israel to new heights, to do God's purpose and design, needs a visionary, a man of wisdom and discernment.

Because of this humility, knowing that He needed YOU, YOU gave him more than what He asked for. And this is also my desire and prayer Lord, to give me discernment and wisdom to be able to fulfill the vision you have entrusted to me. Lord, I need to learn the Art of winning souls, I need to feel the joy that  the Lord Jesus felt ushering. ONLY YOU can do that LORD.

Promise: Ask and I will receive, Seek and I will find, Knock and the door will be opened for me.

Command: Seek the giver and not the gifts.

Warning: without wisdom and discernment people perish.

Application: There were many times In my past I have tried to do things my own way, and I ended up in tears. I thank you Lord for I came into realization that I needed Your wisdom and discernment. Thank you Lord for you are the giver of every perfect and good things in my life. Thank you Holy Spirit for you are my wisdom and my guide.

On The Mountain Of The LORD It Will Be Provided

Text: 2 Samuel 23-1 Kings 1
Rhema Verse: 2 Samuel 24:16 "When the angel stretched out his hand to destroy Jerusalem, the Lord relented concerning the disaster and said to the angel who was afflicting the people, “Enough! Withdraw your hand.” The angel of the Lord was then at the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite."

Message: "On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided", this is the mountain where the plaque stopped and 70,000 has already died. Also the mountain where Abraham sacrificed Isaac, and the Lord told him to withdraw his hand for He was just testing Abraham. this is God's memorial place, where a certain man was so faithful and believed everything God has promised, and the reason he made a nation for himself - Israel. It is the mountain where the display of real worship and total reliance was seen by God from man.
     In my life, i know that the service of my parents and what we are doing as  a family is not forgotten. like the mountain, You heap up every good thing and obedience of Your people and look on them with favor in return. You are a great and faithful God, loving a thousand generations for the faithfulness of one (Deut 5:10)

Promise: My faith, my service is not in vain.

Command: Always go up to the mountain of God, (that is His presence).

Warning:

Application: There was a time that I was wayward -totally out of control, because of my 1st and only boyfriend before my husband (only by phone), he was a foreigner. And at that time, I have been the most disobedient child in my eyes because of him. I knew I brought a lot of pain for my parents but I still insisted. Times passed and people who used to look-up to me were cursing me because of my disobedience, I started to walked away from everybody. Then, problems came, telephone bills in my Mom's name, and another pastor in our office came, and it was hundreds of thousands!!!!!!!???!! I was so shocked and was shaking from my feet up, I knew I did not have any face to look up to God, I was so ashamed of myself.. But then I prayed, Lord remember the service of my parents, forgive me and make me a way out of this mess. And the Lord is really faithful, praise God I got out of the problem and learned BIG time!!!!!! Thank You Lord!

My Rock

Text: 2 Samuel 20-22

Rhema Verse: 2 Samuel 22:2-3. He said:
“The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior—
from violent people you save me.


Promise: i can always depend my whole life and the life of my whole family to God. He will never leave us nor forsake us. Proverbs 30:5 “Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

Command: take refuge in God alone.

Warning: without God everything is meaningless.

Application: Lord, i have been recalling all the struggles we have encountered as a family. all the lessons learned that costed a lot of money, all the people who robbed and did bad things to us, all the people we helped along the way, the promises that already happened and those that we are getting ready for.. All I can say God,, You are truly sooooo sooo soooo good to us! You are a just God, and Your beauty is incomparable to any beautiful thing or person in this world. Your ways are perfect Lord.

Interferer

Text: 2 Samuel 17-19

Rhema Verse: 2 Samuel 19:21-22
Then Abishai son of Zeruiah said, “Shouldn’t Shimei be put to death for this? He cursed the Lord ’s anointed.”
22 David replied, “What does this have to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah? What right do you have to interfere? Should anyone be put to death in Israel today? Don’t I know that today I am king over Israel?”

Message: A lot of times a leader's mind is different from it's subordinates. And because Joab, Abishai the sons of Zeruiah were David's commanders they have thought that they could control the King's affairs. And it was a wake up call what right do you have to interfere?

Promise: My leaders were God's anointed.

Command: Learn to follow commands. Learn to obey and submit.

Warning: kapag nagfefeeling leader pumapalpak- like Joab.

Application: there were many times nabubutata ako, kasi when I have an Idea I become so excited and I tend to forgot I have leaders in charge of me. Lord teach me how to submit and obey, to learn to wait to be asked if i have inputs. Teach me to listen intently before speaking, so that I may gain wisdom LORD.

A Way

Text: 2 Samuel 14-16

Rhema Verse: 2 Samuel 14:14
Like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die. But that is not what God desires; rather, he devises ways so that a banished person does not remain banished from him.

Message: When men who fell on sin dies, it is like a water spilled on earth- it is unrecoverable. It is appointed for a man to die once and then the judgment. BUT that is not what GOD desires, He devised a way to set us free by believing in His Only Son - Jesus Christ who died for our sins and provided atonement for all my sins.

Promise: God will make a way where it seems to be no way. He always make a way for me.

Command: believe in Jesus

Warning: Eternal banishment for those who does not believe on Jesus

Application: Lord thank You for the Only Way you have provided - hindi siya super hirap gawin, I dont need to be the greatest, or the richest person on earth para maligtas but I ONLY need to believe and follow Jesus. Thank you Holy Spirit for always guiding us, and teaching us the grace of God. Lord, teach me the art of winning souls, so people may come to know Your plan of salvation through me.

Framed

Text: 2 Samuel 10-13

Rhema Verse: 2 Samuel 13:30
While they were on their way, the report came to David: “Absalom has struck down all the king’s sons; not one of them is left.”

Message: Ang tsismis laging nauuna sa totoong balita. And David was so shocked by the news and was disturbed greatly, buti na lang wala siyang heart attack. It is definitely not worth to listen to man, but I must always learn to listen to God.

What God had foretold about the consequences for David's sin regarding Bathsheba came to pass. But even though these happen, David all the more clung to God.

Promise: 1. Man's word divide, GOD's Word unites. 2. There's no problem too big that God can not handle

Command: Listen to God always

Warning: sin brings regrets and consequences

Application: As I recalled with my husband my sins regarding my ex-boyfriend/phone pal for 5 years. It reminded me of all the consequences I gave myself and my family. The phone bills that caused me panic, I trembled greatly for the first time in my life, when I first saw it. I experienced many turn downs from people I tried to borrow money from, just so I could cover up my sins. I was greatly humiliated, and I tried to ran away from home. Thank you Lord you got me through those tough times. It was so hard to be in disobedience, and being in the life of a teenager ;) praise the Lord He taught me alot and that incident brought me to my husband ;)
