FAITH CAPSULE: Rest on God always for the enemy against your life to fail. 

1 Kings 1

God alone is in control and does not sleep over His purpose for His children.
God is absolutely in control. 
The lack of knowledge of God shall not limit or deny the plan of God in the life of all. 
If you know that God is in control of your life, then you will rest amid unrest. 
Regardless of the enemy attempting to upstage the plan of God over your life, always trust and hope that the word of God shall not fail over your life.
David promised to put Solomon in place as king, but Adonijah set up a plot because he realized that David was old and advanced in years and could go to sleep. 
The Bible records, “Then he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, and they followed and helped Adonijah. But Zadok the priest, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, Shimei, Rei, and the mighty men who belonged to David were not with Adonijah.” (1 King 1:7-8)
Adonijah conferred with people who counted but not with people that counted and mattered. 
Adonijah was set up for failure because he attempted to answer what God did not call him to be. 
Solomon did not know there was any plan in the process for him to get to where God wanted him to be.
The hand of God for Solomon to be king was in place but not in place for Adonijah. 
At the point of God against the struggle of Adonijah, Prophet Nathan made a move that eventually terminated every plot of Adonijah. 
There was no struggle for Solomon, but there were people in place in time who God had planted for Solomon to get to the divine schedule of God for his life. 
The move of Prophet Nathan requires the mother of Solomon, Bathsheba, to play the role of bringing the plan and purpose of God to life when he said to Bathsheba, “Go immediately to King David and say to him, ‘Did you not, my lord, O king, swear to your maidservant, saying, assuredly your son Solomon shall reign after me, and he shall sit on my throne? Why then has Adonijah become king?’” (I Kings 1:13) 
Bathsheba reacted by Nathan’s word; Nathan responded by playing his role before David, and God showed up and moved in David. 
As a result, Solomon became the king as designed by God.
Today, focus on God. 
God alone is in control and shall not sleep over His purpose for His children that focus on Him. 
In your entire endeavor, let the peace of God that surpasses all understanding have its place in your life. 
God will put people in places that no one knows.
Rest on God always, and the enemy against your life shall fail.

Prayer for today: Ask for the grace of God that you shall live in the center of the divine agenda of God for your life.
