MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL
Devotion for Sunday March 1, 2020
Topic: From Outcast to A Celebrity
Text: Judges 11:1 – 11
There
are many people born legitimately but has no achievement to show for it while
many people who are termed ‘bastard’ have lived to become great and prosperous
in the society.
The
story of Jephthah in our bible reading for the day is an example that confirms
the fact that parentage has little to do with what we become in life. When his
people in Gilead were face with impending war from Ammonites, they remembered
Jephthah and went to him to lead them into the war. He gave them a condition
which they agreed on even with an oath. He that was despised became sought
after and celebrity among the people that despised and rejected him. May that
be your story that those that despised and rejected you will come looking for
you to assist them in Jesus name!
Beloved,
have people despised you and called you outcast, never-do-well, etc., because
of your past? Are you now a shadow of yourself and downcast, and can’t raise
your face in the public because of your past; your parentage, your sins, your
failures in life, etc.?
Today,
I am reminding you that God has hidden some talents in you that will lift out
of your past, sin, failure, etc. God is waiting on you to take a step and your
light will burst out for the world to acknowledge you. Those who hitherto had
concluded that you can never succeed will come back to congratulate you and to
ask for help. I am waiting to hear your testimony.
Food for Thought: Success is not based on parentage
Memory verse: Genesis 26:7
Prayer:
Lord God, grant that all who despised me will come back to celebrate me in
Jesus name.
