MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL GUIDE - Olusola ADEJUMO
I WILL APPEAL TO THE KING
READ I Kings 16-28
I Kings 3:27, KJV
"Then the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and in no wise slay it: she is the mother thereof."
Two prostitutes were in a house. One had switched her dead baby for the living of another. The other in the morning light discovered she had been robbed by careful consideration and refuses to go with what is not hers.
These two prostitutes finally landed at Solomon's court. They wouldn't have appeared there if the case was settled after the discovery of that exchange and while argument for the retrieval of the living child by the rightful mother lasted. But because the false woman won't agree, the real mother appealed to the king as the only way of escape. This is affirmed in her narrating what happened explicitly to the king. She desires to be vindicated and tendered the case before Solomon.
If a thing can't be settled by you, it is wisdom if you seek an external power - one that's greater than you, the thing you're fighting or that's fighting you. Anointing is represented by the sword in that passage. It has not lost effectiveness in getting things done.
This woman that appealed is wise. Should arguments continue till the day is spent? To stop the rivalry, she needed somebody who could hear both of them out, discern the genuine and separate it from the false. Her desire to put an end to their rivalry made her appeal.
Saint, the court of heaven is opened. Have you been robbed? Have you been cheated? Is somebody infringing on your rights? Report it to the King. He is for the just while He'll rebuke the unjust. I pray for you that wherever there's a contest with you over what is yours (which has been robbed you), the sword of God will severe your lot for you without harm today. Restoration in Jesus' name. This month, value won't be exchanged for shamble in your life.
PRAYER: Lord, open my eyes to the belief in Your ability to bring solutions to all my problems. My soul thus rest in you.
