When GOD prepares a table




The angel of the LORD came back a second time and touched him and said, "Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you."So he got up and ate and drank. Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights until he reached Horeb, the mountain of God. 1 Kings 19:7-8

So he got up... 
He obeyed the instruction and got up. He took a step and did as he was told. 

*GOD always gives instructions but you must be listening to hear it and secondly you must be willing to obey the instructions* 

What instructions has He given that you are yet to carry out? 

Think...and consult with Him...

Why consult him? 

In certain cases some instructions are meant for seasons and depending on the urgency of the matter, GOD could have asked someone else carry out His desire. 

Scenario 1:
When GOD asked the Children of GOD to go conquer the land of Ai, they refused to go initially and when they finally decided to go, GOD told not to bother again but they insisted they must and what happened... they were utterly defeated. 

*Verify with GOD again*

....and eat for the journey is too much for you

We need food for the journey. The extent of your assignment whether on your job, business, your walk with GOD and life in general determines what you should feed on, the quality and the amount of what to feed on. 

...Strengthened by that food, he traveled forty days and forty nights

Whatever the angel gave him must have been made in Heaven or how best can this be explained? That the cake of bread and jar of water sustained him for forty days and nights...not 7 days and 7 nights but 40...wow, Incredible! 

If the food sustained him that long then you can imagine what the Psalmist meant when he said... "He prepares a table...

If what the angel gave Elijah lasted that long, how much more when GOD prepares a table... Selah! 


Elijah had a cake of bread and a jar of water but here the psalmists talks about a table... Which means whatever is on that table can sustain you forever. If you are His, then you have access to the ever sustaining table of GOD. 

What could be on that table? 

The bowls of prosperity, plates of promotion, glass of honour and recognition and so much more all served in their courses: first course of victories, 2nd course of grace and a dessert of favour... 

And in whose presence will all these be served? In the presence of your enemies... sworn enemies, under cover freind-nemies, evil plotters, and the old man himself. 

And why? 
To let them know that you share in the greatness of GOD, therefore you can never be defeated for one with GOD is a majority. 


No matter what you might be going through, no matter the phase you are in currently, draw from GOD and feed on His Word; that is the best way to get the strength you need to stand strong and breakthrough.


The table is set before you... It's your duty to dive in! 

Yspot!

Some days ago, I was singing the song "I know my redeemer lives" by Nicole Mullen. As I sang the first line of the song; "who taught the sun where to stand in the morning..." the words hit me and it felt like I was hearing the words of the line for the first time. Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?                                                                                       Pause and think for some minutes… 💭 Did GOD sit the sun down after creating it to explain what is was made to do or that it was expected to rise in the east and set in the west?  Was there a tutor assigned th e responsibility of showing the sun how to rise, how to shine, or to tell the sun the perfect time to set?  or Did the sun require daily reminders to rise in the morning and give warmth and light to the world?  I doubt that..😶 So, if no one taught the sun where to stand in the morning, then how did the sun know where to stand?  Every appliance made or created is wir

We all watched as JDee tried to crawl on his knees some days back. Prior to this, he had been doing a great job crawling on his stomach, but the guy just can't wait to walk... Lol. So he keeps pushing himself.  Lessons: *You will always remain at the same spot doing the same things until you push yourself forward.  *Don't stop at the point or place where others think you should and neither should you stop because of factors like your age or your sex, or the fact that no one has ever done it before. You can be the first to break and set a new record. *Keep pushing yourself until you are all you can be.  *Don't let the barriers and mindsets stop you.  Eventually JDee did it... He moved one knee and we all went screaming.  Why did we scream?  *We saw the progress he had made even though, some would consider it so little, but try asking a mum who has been praying for her child to walk after so many years, she would consider that a great a
