FAITH CAPSULE: Who can bend the hand of God from manifesting?

1 Samuel 26

God did not only declare David as the next King after Saul, but he also asked Samuel to anoint David while Saul was still serving as the king. God’s hand was evidently upon the life of David. Despite the hand of God upon him, Saul attempted to stop David from becoming the king that God anointed. Saul relentlessly sought to kill David by pursuing him all over the face of earth. David ran for his life and many times he found himself in position to run over the life of Saul but he did not. The hand of God was in place over the life of David to be the next in line as king. Who can bend the hand of God from manifesting? Saul attempted but he prevailed as a failure. Once during one of his pursuit for David, he positioned himself to be killed by David. Saul and all his three thousand soldiers were on ground protecting Saul while they were attempting the life of David. At night time, when David approached Saul, all of his guards were in a deep sleep. David could have killed Saul, but he vowed not to destroy the Lord’s anointed. The Bible recorded, “So David took the spear and the jug of water by Saul’s head, and they got away; and no man saw or knew it or awoke. For they were all asleep, because a deep sleep from the LORD had fallen on them.” (1Samuel 26:12) David did not attempt to fight his battle, but allowed God to fight for him. God allowed Saul and his whole entourage to fall into a deep sleep. Trust God to send the force of the wicked ones in your life, into a deep sleep. During Saul’s deep sleep, David got away with Saul’s weapon and Saul’s jug of water (water the sustenance of life). The battle that you allow God to fight on your behalf shall be permanently terminated. When your enemy’s weapon gets to your hand; when you take control of your enemy’s life sustenance, know that God has caused your enemy to fall into a deep sleep. David a life time warrior, knew well enough when to fight for himself and when to let God take charge. Are you experiencing an enemy like the one David faced? An enemy that should not have been an enemy; an enemy that remain ever consistent in attempt to get you down is a David’s kind of enemy in your life. God is able and He alone will deliver you if you will let Him.    

Prayer for today: As you set eyes on this, know that God in His goodness and mercy, He will send your enemy into a deep sleep. God will put in your hand the weapon of your enemy. God shall withdraw the sustenance of your enemy in Jesus mighty name.
