FAITH CAPSULE: Are you calling for the return of God just like David? 

1 Samuel 3

The communication of God is His revelation.
When there is no revelation, transformation ceases. 
The journey of life without transformation will lead to termination. 
At one point, Davids asked the Lord to return for him to experience deliverance.
The request of David is evidence to the testimony that without communication, which is a revelation, every struggle of life reigns. 
How is your revelation experience? 
Just like David said, revelation from God will bring forth deliverance, and salvation will reign. 
King David states in Psalm 6:4, “Return, O Lord, deliver me! Oh, save me for your mercies’ sake!”
Considering the calling of David on God, could it have been a cry at a time when God had departed from him? 
It is clear that when God departs from one or His people, all that is of God and from God ceases to manifest itself. 
It is a dangerous ground to be where revelation from God ceases. 
Are you calling for the return of God just like David? 
The word of God, which is the presence of God, will undoubtedly bring God back to His people if His people will hear and understand studying the word of God. 
At a point in time in Shiloh when Eli was the priest, it is recorded, “…the word of Lord was rare in those days; there was no widespread revelation.” (1 Samuel 3:1) 
The situation of no revelation in Shiloh called for the return of God. 
The return of the Lord is His appearance, and it took the coming of Samuel for revelation to come back to Shiloh. 
1 Samuel 3:21 states, “Then the LORD appeared again in Shiloh. For the LORD revealed Himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the word of the LORD.” God, who appeared again in Shiloh, will also appear again (return) to visit you if you have lost contact with Him or if you have limited His appearance. 
Where His Word becomes rare, widespread revelation will cease. 
In this season of new beginnings, engage the word of God more often and cue to getting revelation from God to deliver and preserve you in the coming days, weeks, months, and years.
The Psalmist is not ignorant of his need when he calls for the return of God. 
Psalm 106:4 records, “Remember me, O LORD, with the favor You have toward Your people. Oh, visit me with Your salvation.”  
What are you looking up to Him for? 
Is it for Him to return, remember, or to visit you? 
The Psalmist wanted God to remember and visit him because when God remembers or visits, one receives the benefit of His chosen ones. 
You will be able to rejoice in the gladness of His nation and will be able to glory with His inheritance. (Psalm 106:5) 
God is forever consistent. 
He is God who returns to reveal. 
He is the God that remembers to favor and God, that visits with salvation. 

Prayer for today: God remembers with favor, and a visit with salvation is what to ask for.
