HIS WAY< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>1 Kings 1

 

If you know that God is in control of your life then you will know to rest when all is at unrest. It will not matter when the enemy comes into place to upstage what God has planned for you; you will always overcome so as to get to where He has called for you to be. Relax as a child of God who does not fight by himself and let the peace of God that surpasses all understanding have its way by guarding your heart through Christ Jesus. God Himself will put people in places who you do not know and they will offset every constructive stage of the enemy that is against your life. When David promised to put Solomon in place as king, it was confirmed in heaven and on earth at GodÕs timing. Adonijah, however, set up a plot because he realized that David was old and advanced in years and could go to sleep at anytime. 1 Kings 1:7-8, ÒThen he conferred with Joab the son of Zeruiah and with Abiathar the priest, and they followed and helped Adonijah. 8 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.Ó Adonijah conferred with people who counted, but not with people that counted and mattered. He was set up for failure because of his attempt to answer what God did not call him to be. Solomon, who was to be king, was somewhere enjoying rest with no struggle when Prophet Nathan made a move that eventually terminated every plot of Adonijah. Take note of the fact that Solomon did not know that there was any plan in process for him to get to the place where God wanted him to get to. There was no struggle for Solomon, but there were people in place and in time who God had planted for him to get into his divine schedule of God for his life. Prophet NathanÕs move required SolomonÕs mother, Bathsheba, to play a role of bring the plan and purpose of God to life so he asked Bathsheba to, ÒGo immediately to King David and say to him, ÔDid 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?ÕÓ (I Kings 1:13) In the name of Jesus, God will raise someone who will go immediately on our behalf to bring into activation all God has in plan for our life for His name to be glorified. Bathsheba reacted by NathanÕs word; Nathan responded by playing his role before David; God showed up and moved in David and then Solomon became the king as God would have it. Do not force or fret God. He will have His way of carrying you through.
