DAY 7: THE SURE MERCIES OF DAVID

-

 THE RHEMA WORD FOR TODAY

(A DAILY DEVOTIONAL WITH PREACHER SAM)

 


TOPIC: THE SURE MERCIES OF DAVID

DATE: 7 SEPTEMBER, 2021

BIBLE READING: ACTS 13: 26-39

VERSE FOR MEDITATION: ISAIAH 55:3 KJV

Incline your ears, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

 

            There have been a lot of juxtapositions about the sure mercies of David, but the essence of this devotional is not necessarily for juxtaposition, but for revelation.

            Remember we defined mercy as the act of God’s benevolence towards man in order that he might gain access to the heart of God where His compassion and the riches of His love dwells. David was a man that understood the mercies of God, that was why he could gain access into the heart of God, and God could say, “I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart” (Acts 13:22; Ps. 89:20; 1 Sam.13:14).

            When David’s heart condemned him of his sin, he asked God for mercy. Even when the word of the lord came to him through his prophet Gad, that he should choose the kind of punishment that he should receive, he picked none of them, but choose to fall into the hand of the Lord, because he understood the greatness of God’s mercies. (2 Sam. 24:10-14 c.f. Heb. 10:31).

            It is call the sure mercies of David, because of the everlasting covenant that God made with David. David understood that under that covenant, the mercies of God are sure, reliable and certain.

            The Scripture says that we have a better covenant (Heb. 8:6), and God has provided something better for us (Heb. 11:40), that these heroes of faith under the old covenant, including David, did not receive (Heb. 11:13, 39). And that they without us should not be made perfect (Heb. 11:40). So since we are under a better and perfect covenant, we have a surer mercy, a more secured, certain, non-failing, and reliable mercy that we can receive. If David could receive the sure mercies of God, you can receive the surest mercies of God. This is the Father’s love!

 

PRAYER: Dear God, I thank You that there’s something much better for me. For this cause I receive Your surest mercies in Christ’s name I pray. Amen!

 

DECLARATION: THE SUREST MERCIES OF GOD IS MINE, BECAUSE I AM UNDER A BETTER COVENANT. HALLELUJAH!

2024: THE YEAR OF ESTABLISHMENT

Hosea‬ ‭2:23‬ ‭GNB I will establish my people in the land and make them prosper. I will show love to those who were called “Unloved”, and to those who were called “Not-my-People” I will say, “You are my people,” and they will answer, “You are our God.” The Lord is about to prosper us in all areas of our life, but He must first establish us in Him. It is until we're established in Him, our prosperity will have no root to last long. The Lord has said to us, “I will establish you.” Another area of God's establishment this year is in the area of His love. Ephesians 3:17 NIV So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love. The Lord has said to us, “I will uproot every plant that I have not planted. And get you rooted and established in My love.” (Matt. 15:13; Eph. 3:17). Falsehood will die as Truth will thrive. Every wind of doctrine will vanish, because the full knowledge of Christ will be established.  Strange practi

 PHRONESIS DEVOTIONAL 30 DAYS DEVOTIONAL WITH PREACHER SAM September 22, 2023. Topic: TRUE RICHES Bible Reading: Matthew 6:19-34 Verse for Meditation: 1 Timothy 6:6 NLT Yet true godliness with contentment is itself great wealth. About sexual temptation, if you are struggling to break free, you must first be saved so that you can be given the Holy Spirit to empower you to live above sin. But breaking free and living constantly above sin; especially sexual sins, it take discipline and consistency. You don’t stay fit on the first day you go to the gym to work out; it takes consistent exercise and discipline to achieve that, so does exercising ourselves towards godliness (1Tim. 4:7). When you fall, you need to rise again to continue with the exercise. It was a constant practice that made that sexual habit called addiction. So you need to deliberately keep at it constantly till the appetite to sin dies. Spiritual attack is real, but what we call spiritual attack is actually a lack of knowle
