David went after the Lion and the Bear and delivered the Lamb. *It is interesting to know that both the Lion and Bear were after the lamb because of what it stands for.* *A Lamb is a sheep less than 12 months old - That Lamb  was symbolic of the reward, result or Testimony of  David's Good and Diligent work as a Shepherd.* *A Shepherd working for Months or Years without a Lamb has nothing to show for h...

First, two (2) Masters cannot be in the same boat.  We cannot be in the same boat with Christ and be issuing orders to Him, therefore we must let Him lead, while we follow.  Paul, the Apostle said: Be ye followers of me even as I am ...

Now choose life, so that you and your children may live - *Deuteronomy 30:19*   Yesterday, we established that: *Your direction is more important than your location; while your location may not define you, your direction does.* The Prodigal son chose to head in his father's direction, to end his stay in a location of no bread. His direction brought about supply to his Needs and Restoration. David was in the wilderness of Judah, a lonely and dry location but, his soul turned in the direction of the One who could bring an end to his wilderness experience. Thereafter, he was...

When he came to himself, he said, he will arise and go to his father - this talks of his direction. *The location of...

 SEED OF TRANSFORMATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL                                           *SPEEDING IN A WRONG DIRECTION* *By Pastor E O Gabriel  04 March 2025: Share* SCRIPTURE: who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, Will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy - *Proverbs 29:1* From the day King Saul disobeyed God in sparing Agag the king of the Amalek and took of the spoil, his life began to slide down a wrong path.  Thereafter, he laid hold upon the skirt of Samuel and it tore. The Spirit of God departed from Saul and an evil spirit began troubling him. He also started seeking to end David's life. Speeding down a wrong Path caused Saul to disguise himself, to seek help from a woman at Endor who had a familiar spirit - *1 Samuel 28:7*   *All of which resulted in his tragic death.* Saul's destruction was avoidable but for his stubbornness. Samuel Preac...

I will not leave you nor forsake you - *Joshua 1:5* God made some specific Promises to Joshua, after he succeeded Moses, in leading the children of Israel to the Promised Land.  One of such Promises was that no man will stand against him - This meant that he would not be defeated. But, he was not to turn to the right or the left, from God's covenant, as He commanded Moses - *Joshua 1:7* This Promise was made manifest, several times; Nations and Kings were subdued by Joshua because of God's Promise to him. But the unexpected happened when Israel faced a small Na...

Send me" - *Isaiah 6:8* *In Luke 19:28-40,* the Glorious entry of our Lord Jesus Christ was an outstandingly beautiful and Ceremonious Part of His Earthly Ministry.  He rode upon a colt and men spread their garments upon the colt for Him to sit. They cut branches on the ground for the colt to ride upon, which today is likened to a red carpet entrance, with the People singing Hosannah in the Highest! *One of the attractions of the Great Event was the treatment given to the colt.* *It was beautified with Human garments, it did not walk on bare ground and enjoyed the same honour given to ...
