MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Wednesday January 15 2020
Topic: Do You Request For Death?
Text: 1 Kings 19:1 – 4
Some
people easily forget the favours they enjoyed previously from God when they are
going through pains, trials, sickness, hardship, suffering, persecution or
temptation. Any instrument God is using for revival will definitely face
oppositions. The person will become a lone voice and if such didn’t receive the
needed support, will opt for death or will abandon the call. This was the case
of Elijah. He might have asked if God was actually leading him. Again, he would
have questioned the rationale behind his suffering if God was in that matter.
Moses and Jonah did similar thing (See Numbers 11:15 & Jonah 4:3, 8).
It is
so hard to control our impatience in affliction. Most of us are easily quick to
speak negative things. Can you recollect doing this? Elijah was quick to
request for death. He did not seek the face of God to know if there is any way
out of the problem. This is how many of us have brought upon ourselves curses
and problems. We can hardly seek the face of God in times of afflictions,
difficulties and problems. Are you sick, going through trials, discouraged that
your marriage is not working and you are now requesting for death? All those
who requested for death including myself have been disappointed because we
still have a ministry to fulfill. Beloved, it is not over with you. There is
something God still want to use you to accomplish. Go to Him and He will tell
you why you are facing those oppositions.
Food for Thought: When you ministry has not ended, no amount of threat, sickness or
problem can take your life.
Memory verse: Jonah 4:3
Prayer:
Lord, strengthen me as I face oppositions and problems of life.
