THE STRONG SHALL GROW WEAK!

I Kings 1:1, KJV

"Now king David was old and stricken in years; and they covered him with clothes, but he gat no heat."

In my country, there's a transport system with the motto, "the young shall grow." Only that today's teaching's title is the exact opposite of that. Brethren, the strong shall become weak. Even in the wild, the lion eventually does become prey to other animals. When strength fades and agility disappears, only those who are still youthful and renewed would preside over the weak and faded. This way, even the supposed king of the jungle becomes prey. 

Would you believe that it is the image of David the Bible paints here? How could you say David is old, well stricken in years and cannot keep warm by himself even when covered with clothes? That's just the reality and experience of anyone who is praying for long life. You might get to a place where you cannot keep warm by yourself again. This kind of inability first of all comes from your inside before it manifests as cold outside. That's the fate of any human being but to think of someone as valiant, heroic and brave as David needing the help of another to keep warm shocks me. 

However, the Bible says, "when David is old and stricken in years, he could not keep warm by himself." Tell the strong that they'll be weak tomorrow and that to be revived or made strong, they might need the strength of another. 

When you are young, there's no height you cannot climb and there's no gulf you cannot cross, but these end when you're old. I saw a funny quote somewhere. "When you're young, you sneak out of your home to go to parties but when you're old, you sneak out of parties to return to your home! How true this is! No wonder, the preacher in Ecclesiastes opens us to the fears of old age and the inabilities of aged people. He tells us that a time comes when we'll all say, "I have no pleasure in them" (Eccl.12:1). At such times, what used to work would have become deficient. The grinders (teeth) cease because they are few and those who look through the windows (the eyes) are dimmed (Eccl.12:3). At that time, desire fails because man is going to his eternal home. 

Things just automatically take turns for the opposite. It may be unimaginable if someone like David tells you he was a great warrior in his youth. You might not be able to match that feat of killing a giant with his need to keep warm - needing fresh blood in Abishag to help do that. You might be filled with contempt for him and despise him. However, you also are coming here. It is the road each and everyone of us would take. This is why it is important to be giant slayers in our youth. Make great accomplishments when you can. At old age, you tend to take bed rest even when you don't want to and sip tea. You'll be confined by one inability or the other and like David release the throne you've gained to a Solomon to continue. 

I pray for you that you won't be wasted. Before the days come on you when you cannot keep warm by yourself, may you have used yourself and realize your purpose to the fullest. 

PRAYER/CONFESSION: I will not lament my youth at old age. I seize the moment and fulfill all on me.

NOT A HAIR! - Not Even One Series 006

I Kings 1:52, KJV

"And Solomon said, If he will shew himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die."

May your testimony be, "not a hair falls!" That's God's plan for you - that in all your encounters, you incur no loss. May you however not incur any out of stubbornness especially when God is giving you another chance to live a better life than before. 

This is the story of Adonijah, one who sought to force his way to the throne even when the Lord had not chosen him. Having conspired with Joab, Abiathar and some notable officials in the kingdom, he went on to offer animals and pass through the rites of kings. However, he was cornered as soon as Solomon, son of Bathsheba was favourably announced as king over Israel. He was therefore scared and ran to catch and hold the horns of the altar - an event signifying his repentance and request for mercy or forgiveness. 

On the condition that if he'll show himself a worthy man, the king let him live and promises that no hair of his head would fall to the earth. It means no single harm would happen to him if he doesn't continually show evidence of competing for the throne. Though this promise is effective yet Absalom broke it to his peril after he asked for Abishag for a wife. 

Abishag is a woman who ministered to David in his old age but who David didn't have sexual relations with. She's a special commodity and only another king could have her. Adonijah's show of interest in Abishag secretly shows how tactical he has become in seeking the throne and wanting to defy the king. However, a messenger of death was sent after him to bring him down. 

May you live a worthy man. May you fulfill the conditions surrounding the forgiveness you've received. May you not defy God to suffer dangerous consequences. Indeed, may the hair of your head not fall.

PRAYER: Lord, where I am forgiven, I'll not go back to my vomit.

YOU CAN'T DROP DEAD BY CHANCE! - Not Even One Series 005

Matthew 10:29-30, KJV

" 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered."

There are many people living but in fear of death. Their fear is that they can randomly die. To them, death happens and just takes away like that. However, a Christian is and should be one out of such fear. A Christian doesn't die anyhow. Our anchor Bible verse says, "but the very hairs of your head are all numbered!" If they are, it means when one falls, the one who knows it all would discern that one fell! As a matter of fact, before it falls, it has to be by His consent. 

Matthew 10:29-30 KJV

"29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered."

Two sparrows are sold for a farthing - an insignificant amount of money. Sparrows could be said to be worthless to the extent that it was two that worth a farthing. That's how insignificant they are. If they were very precious, two wouldn't have sold for a farthing let alone one. However, these birds are so unimportant that two get sold for a farthing. 

God just wants to play out a message through this especially when He says, "and one will not fall on the ground without your father..." It means as worthless and insignificant those birds are, even one can't just drop dead. You see, nothing just happens. God had to consent to it or be in the know before the least harm could befall these worthless birds. 

Here the Bible goes however saying, "but the hairs of your head are all numbered." Does that ring a bell? Does it pass a message? 

It means even the hairs of your head won't fall to the ground without the Lord's knowledge. No sudden fear! No sudden death! You have your time and your time is in God's hands. 

PRAYER: I am weaned of every fear of death. My time is in God's hands. With long Life will be satisfy me and show me his salvation.

DESPITE THE PERIL, NO LOSS - Not Even One Series 004

Acts 27:34, KJV

"Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you."

Harm or loss comes to different men at different times. Paul is on his way to Italy in the custody of a certain centurion. At first, Paul perceives that their journey might be with harm or losses. As such, he advised that they should not travel but the people believed in the professional advice of the sailor and owner of the ship more than Paul's (Acts 27:10-11).

They therefore embark on this journey of peril. Note this, God will come for you. He won't leave you without witness. He'll warn you. He'll tell you which journey to attend or to refrain from. However, popular opinion won over God's voice. That's a danger you must not enter into or find yourself in. Don't let anyone successfully persuade you against God's voice. 

Anyway, the ship sails when it should not. The consequence is the strong wind called euroclydon that hits it. They just couldn't master the wind, thereby losing their goods, the ship and endangering their own lives in a shipwreck. However, before the wreckage, God's word came to Paul for the encouragement of all aboard. Paul speaking to them says in Acts 27, "22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but of the ship. 23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, 24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee."

Paul told them, "we shall only be cast on a certain island" but no life shall be taken in the process. Just like Paul predicted or said by the Lord, so it happened. Though they did lose the ship and many had to travel both aboard and on planks to reach the shore of the predicted island, no life was lost as predicted. It turned out to be as Paul had said. 

Acts 27:43, KJV

"43 But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose; and commanded that they which could swim should cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land: 44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land."

While encouraging them to eat after 14 days of abstinence from food, Paul said to them again, "I pray you to eat because this is for your health: for there shall not any hair fall from the head of any of you" (Acts 27:34). As predicted, not a strand of their hair fell to the ground. Not a man of their company loses his life except for the ship. I pray for you too, may it be unto you according to God's word!

PRAYER: I have safety in my to and fro. I am hallowed and claim untouched or unthreatened by life's circumstances.

NOT A MAN OF OUR COMPANY WAS MISSING - Not Even One Series 003

Numbers 31:48-49, KJV

"48 And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses: 49 And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us."

This is the report Moses got from the commanders of thousands and hundreds who led the Israelites' troops to battle. It is that they have numbered after the war and found that none of the hair of their head had fallen to the earth. They went to battle with a certain number of soldiers and at returning reports back to the base with the record of total completion. 

It is a blessing if you engage with a number and return with the same number. It's a blessing when after it all, you're not taking a record of losses. It's a blessing if a pregnant woman enters for delivery with the hope to give birth to the second in her and returns with that baby and herself. That is when none of the hair on her head has fallen to the ground.

I pray for you, you won't suffer or begin to count losses. Even as the year progresses, you won't have a story of losses to tell. You're redeemed from every loss encounter. When you engage and go out full, at evening tide when you shall return, you won't return back empty. This prayer and receiving is so germane because it's not everyone who steps out full that returns full (the same way). On the way and in their journey, they might have leaked virtues or lost souls who traveled with them. This happened to Elimelech who carried his family to a foreign country. They never came back complete. Naomi crying says, "20 Call me not Naomi, call me Mara: for the Almighty hath dealt very bitterly with me. 21 I went out full, and the LORD hath brought me home again empty: why then call ye me Naomi, seeing the LORD hath testified against me, and the Almighty hath afflicted me" (Ruth 1:20-21, KJV). 

If you go out of God's plan, you can't but suffer or record losses. That's why she says, "the Almighty has testified against me."

When you take a number of your family at evening time, none shall be missing. No strand of your hair would have been declared fallen. None would have been announced missing or kidnapped and even though they return home, none would have strayed from faith (a greater loss). 

PRAYER: Lord, I have entered into Year 2025. My covenant and declaration is none shall be missing of all I took into it.

NOT A HAIR OF YOUR HEAD WILL FALL - Not Even One Series 2

I Samuel 14:45, KJV 

"And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? God forbid: as the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground; for he hath wrought with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, that he died not."

When the Bible says yesterday, "but the very hairs of your head are all numbered", it means also, "none can fall without His knowledge." If one hair should fall, He actually is in the know of its falling.

In the Old Testament especially, there's usually a saying formed around the hair of one's head. You'll often hear Bible characters say, "and not a hair of your head will fall down/to the ground." What they mean is that the least harm would not befall the fellow they're speaking to. 

I don't know what your situation is. It may be mild or critical. Irrespective of what it is or how it looks, the God of the mountain is also the God of the valley. If there's anything He's saying now, "it is that no hair of your head will fall to the ground."

I pray for you, you will not experience any harm and if it comes, no hair of your head will fall down. No least evil or consequence would be recorded to have fallen on you. Not a strand of your hair will fall down! The Bible has spoken well concerning you when it says, "He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee" (Job 5:19, KJV). However, if it does come, you'll not experience the least harm. Listen, no hair of your head will fall to the ground!

PRAYER: I don't record losses. I am full and I remain full.

ALL NUMBERED! - Not Even One Series 001

Matthew 10:29-30, KJV

"29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered."

Do you believe this? Do you believe that none of the hairs of your head will fall to the ground without God's prior knowledge? The Bible says in Matthew 10:30, "but the very hairs of your head are all numbered." That it is all numbered portrays many images. One of which is the fact that God wants to keep or protect you securely. What is numbered or counted is meant to be kept securely from losses or any form of harm. Except it increases, it ought not to decrease. But even when one falls down, it must be at God's word or prior knowledge. Does God descend so low to look at us and what concerns us?

Do you know what that means? It shows how farthest God cares for you. We all know how least the hairs of our heads are. They're part of the things we may not esteem as great but which are formed on the body. However, the Bible says, "but the very hairs of your head (that are many and insignificant) are all numbered." Despite its great number, God is not puzzled about how many there are on your head. Does He not know the number of stars and call each of them by name despite their number (Psalm 147:4)? He just knows because He cares for you as a person. That's why He is this careful to know the least details of your life. Psalm 8 talks of this when it says, "what is man that thou art mindful of him and the son of man that thou visiteth him" (Psalm 8:4). The Psalmist takes this further when he pens the entire Psalm 139 to speak about such wondrous knowledge of God that knows him in and out. God's mindfulness of him is revealed in how nothing of him is hidden or withheld from God. Even the words which he'll speak which are still in his tongue are known by God (Psalm 139:4). 

Psalms 139:1-6, KJV

"1 O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me. 2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. 3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. 4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether. 5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it."

The Psalmist himself confesses, "such knowledge (of God knowing everything about me) is too wonderful or unattainable for me." Don't you think God is an extraordinary God that goes so far to know the insignificant details that concern us. If the Bible says, "but the very hairs of your head are all numbered", tell me what in your life happens by chance without God's knowledge. If He keeps records on your hair, it means He knows when one sprouts or falls off. 

Be comforted! God's care system covers you. If the very hairs of your head that fall and immediately become waste are this observed and thought after by God, does He not care over your finances, marriage, career, calling etc?

PRAYER: Lord, I release all. I let go of my worries, fears and concerns. I believe in you and in your word that I am worth more than many sparrows.
