FROM WANDERING TO POSSESSION

“So David and his men came to the city, and, behold, it was burned with fire...”
(1 Samuel 30: 3)

That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.

In 1 Samuel 16, God commanded Samuel to anoint David as king of Israel. David was indeed anointed by Samuel as the next king of Israel, but by 1 Samuel 30, he was still living in Ziklag- a Philistine territory. God had given David a kingdom but he was yet to step into it. There was an unfulfilled promise on David's life.

After the burning of Ziklag, David sat on the throne as king. He moved from having promises over his life to having fulfilled promises in his life. He moved from wandering to possession; the promise on his life became his evidence; he stepped into what God destined for him; he got what God reserved for him.

Friend, hear God’s prophetic word: you will move from wandering to possession. You will move from promise to fulfilment. Every word that God has spoken concerning you that is yet unfulfilled shall be fulfilled before your very eyes. Every promise of God that is hanging on your life shall soon be implemented by Divine design. You may have waited endlessly for what God said He would do: your wait is over, it’s about to happen.

Every promise and every word that God has made/spoken to you will come to pass. When men laugh at you because you are still in your ‘Ziklag’, remind them that from your ‘Ziklag’, you will move to the throne. When they mock you for being in obscurity, remind them that you will soon take your place in the limelight.

Look beyond your ‘Ziklag’ and expect your throne. If Jehovah is involved, you will move from wandering to possession.

Deuteronomy 1 vs. 21 says: “Behold, the LORD thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.”

Pray With Me: Lord, move me from wandering to possession, in Jesus’ name!
