DIVINE TRANSFORMATION II
Memorise: And the spirit of the Lord will come upon thee,
and thou shalt prophesy with
them, and shalt be turned into another man. 1st Samuel 10:6
Read: 1st Samuel 10:1-6, 10 Then Samuel took a vial of oil,
and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the
Lord hath anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?
2 When thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt
find two men by Rachel's sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and
they will say unto thee, The asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and,
lo, thy father hath left the care of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying,
What shall I do for my son?
3 Then shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt
come to the plain of Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God
to Bethel, one carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread,
and another carrying a bottle of wine:
4 And they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of
bread; which thou shalt receive of their hands.
5 After that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is
the garrison of the Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come
thither to the city, that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down
from the high place with a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp,
before them; and they shall prophesy:
6 And the Spirit of the Lord will come upon thee, and thou
shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into another man.
Bible in one year: Deuteronomy 32:46-34:12, Job 9:25-10:5
MESSAGE!!!
The Almighty God at creation set the natural laws in motion,
and they started to function just as He commanded them. For example, the sun
rises and sets at the appointed times and so does the moon. However, whenever
God decides to showcase His sovereignty, He may decide to suspend these laws
and do things as He pleases. He may even decide to bring something out of
nothing or make somebody out of nobody. This is what people call ‘a miracle’.
My prayer to someone using this devotional today is that a divine
transformation will make you somebody where you have been locked upon as nobody
in Jesus’ name.
The story in our Bible reading today reveals a divine
transformation in the life of the first king of Israel, King Saul. He was not
just appointed as a king; he started to prophesy. The good news is that a
better transformation which is equally divine is now available to whoever is
willing to surrender his life to Jesus Christ. The Bible says in 2nd
Corinthians 5:17;
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature:
old things are passed away; behold all things are become new.”
As a result of this experience, the believer becomes a very
important personality. Apostle Peter called us chosen, royal priesthood and
peculiar. Beloved, do you desire divine transformation? There is only one
person who can give you this experience; and this is Jesus Christ. The Bible
says;
“He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the
baggar from the dunghill, to set them among princes…”
1st Samuel 2:8
However, the divine transformation which makes an enemy of
God become a friend of this same God, take some responsibilities. Old things
must pass away and the fellow must now live according to the principles of the
kingdom of God. The Bible says;
“And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself,
even as he is pure.”
1st John 3:3
This reality which King Saul did not pay close attention to
might have been responsible for his dethronement. This may also account for the
downfall of many children of God, who God transformed and raised to be His
ministers, but took the grace of transformation for granted and lost their
positions both in the ministry and in the kingdom of God. This will not be your
portion in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point
Father, please use your almighty power to give me a pleasant
transformation this season in Jesus’ name.
