I greet and bless everyone in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. The blessed word that God has given for you today, is from the book of 1 Chronicles 28:9, “If you seek Him , He will be found by you. But if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.”
From the above context we understand that it is very necessary to seek the Lord and His righteousness. If not the Lord will reject us forever. Here King David speaks to the assembly of Israel; The king told the members in the assembly that it was his desire to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord. But God had instructed him clearly that his son, Solomon should build the temple. Moreover he said that God had chosen his son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.
The Lord said to David, “It is your son Solomon who shall build My House and My Courts, for I have chosen him to be My son, and I will be His Father. Moreover I will establish his kingdom forever if he is steadfast, to observe My commandments.” So David was very concerned about his son Solomon. Through the above reference David reminds his son Solomon, to be careful to observe the commandments of God. He reminds his son, about the greatness of God. Though he was the king of Israel he never forgot his small beginnings. He remembers his lowly position. He never forgets that God took him up from the sheepfold, from following the sheep to be the ruler over God’ chosen people.
Therefore having recollected his past life and how God had lifted him to the level of a great king and how the Lord had magnified him, he cautions his son Solomon, to seek the Lord with all of his heart. He said to him “If you seek Him, He will be found by you. But if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.” He not only advises him to seek the Lord but also admonishes him to seek God’s favour, wisdom, and good understanding to rule over his people wisely. Thus we see David as a good father to his son. And since Solomon obeyed David God blessed him with wisdom and wealth.
Are you willing to seek the Lord with all of your heart? Are you refusing to accept Him as the Lord of your life? Think well . For if you neglect God then you will be at a loss. Your life will come to an end. As long as you have God with you then you will be successful. Once you leave Him, He will neglect you also. Having God with you is the greatest power of life. Alone with God you can achieve marvellous things in life. You will be the winner and not the victim nor the loser. David proved himself great while he boldly fought against Goliath single handed because the Lord was with Him. Is the Lord with you? If not make Him your friend, the lover of your soul. Have an intimate relationship with God from the moment you read this message, never postpone to possess Him, inside your heart. He will bring healing to you. He will bring victory to you. He is an Honest God whom you can trust. Men make promises but fail to keep it. But God is unchanging . He says “For I am the Lord, “’ I do not change.”God bless you.
Prayer: Our loving heavenly Father, we thank You for this blessed day. Lord we thank You for your servant David who was a man after your own heart. Help us to be like him. . Be with us Lord, as you were with David, and make us victorious in life. Teach us to seek after you and your precepts and never to reject You or hurt Your feelings in any way. May we set our mind on things above and not on the things of the Earth. Let Christ reign our hearts.
In Jesus name we pray.
Amen.
