Calvary Pointers Morning Showers 17 August 2023 Devotional by Reverend Ajisafe Opeyemi - Abundance In Your Wilderness
And it came to pass, when David was come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash of Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and Machir the son of Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim, brought beds, and basons, and lentiles and parched pulse, and honey, and butter, and sheep, and cheese of kine, for David, and for the people that were with him, to eat: for they said, The people is hungry, and weary, and thirsty, in the wilderness - 2 Samuel 17:27-29
In the story quoted today, David was going through a real wilderness experience. He had been driven out of the throne, out of Jerusalem by his own son, Absalom. His trusted friends like Ahithophel had taken counsels against him. His concubines had been defiled publicly by his own son, Absalom. The king had been humiliated and driven into the wilderness together with his loyal troop. No food. No provison. All was hot and dry.
Then, God sent three men with abundance of provision to refresh David in the wilderness. Shobi the son of Nahash, Machir the son of Ammiel and Barzillai the Gileadite.
This is the way of God. When we find ourselves in the wilderness, God will appear so that even in that wilderness we can blossom.
Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping. The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer - Psalm 6:8,9.
When Israel was crossing the wilderness into their inheritance, God gave them abundance of manna, abundance of meat, plenty of water from the Rock that followed them, to refresh their souls. The Lord will never leave nor forsake His people.
What is it that you have been going through? In what wilderness experience have you found yourself? The Lord is there for you, even in that wilderness, He will supply all you needs. He will send you helpers who will bring the provision you need. Even in the wilderness, our God is still God of abundant supplies. And He will supply all of your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus - Phillippians 4:19.
The Lifter of Destinies will lead you to where your breakthroughs are waiting for you.
