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!

"Hello everyone! How did April treat you? Today marks Grace's final post with us. We're really going to miss her. Thank you, Grace, for consistently sharing timely and insightful posts over the past 12 months. May you reap the rewards of the seeds you've sown. Amen!" Grace, we eagerly anticipate your return to the blog. *** This is the 12th part series of these write ups and the last one on “Moments with Grace”. As I round up, I would like to remind us of the need to stay alert in the Spirit in this perverse generation. 1 Thessalonians 5:6 says: “So be on your guard, not asleep like the others. Stay alert and be clearheaded.“ ‭Nowadays, a lot of things try to get our attention thereby pulling us off our focus on our dear Saviour Jesus Christ. However we must always remember Jesus our promised Messiah came in the flesh, died and resurrected, presently seats at the right hand of the throne of God the Father Almighty and is soon coming back again to take us hom

Hello People, The first half of the year ends in few hours 💃 I look back and all I can say is THANK YOU JESUS! The first day of the year came with the promise of a travel gift from GOD. It was so clear, and I held onto it. Fast forward to the month of February, an opportunity presented itself but the timing was short and it looked impossible cos getting a visa in that short period seemed close to impossible. I almost let it go but I was encouraged by some friends to give it a try. As I mustered the strength to, I remembered what GOD had promised, so I equipped myself with it, booked an appointment and went to the embassy, the Wednesday before the due date for my trip. I walked to the counter when it was my turn to submit my documents. The lady I met, looked at me, and asked: “when are you to travel?” I replied “Sunday”. She stared at me and said “today is Wednesday, its not possible for you to travel on Sunday”. I looked at her and smiled, please go ahead. She said “are you su

SEE YOURSELF THROUGH HIS EYES…. …She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above Rubies or Pearls! “Why do you always walk with your head down?” I paused and considered. This was a question someone asked me some years ago… the only answer I could muster was a sheepish smile. The truth is, back then; I was suffering from what most people battle with. Those were the days I had relied heavily on my big sister in order to dress stylishly. To me, she could do no wrong; she was the “koko”. Now I’m not saying she wasn’t (she still is) all that, but I came to realize on time that I couldn’t run to my sister every time I had to baff up. I had to come to terms with the fact that I was my own person and I needed to develop my own style. It wasn’t instant success o and yes, I am still perfecting the art (it’s a process). I did make 1 or 2 flops (ok maybe 3….ok ok…more than 3), but this issue of style became effortless when I decided to try the “inside-out” approach…
