NUGGET: RISING STEAD
1KING 8 :20 ;And the LORD hath performed his word that he spake, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
Solomon was able to build the house of the Lord based on his fathers stead . and Solomon said ; I have risen in the room of my father. It was a godly stead rise. The foundation in which you rise is very important. Yes,you belong to a family where legacy have been laid but as a child of God(who is your ultimate father) do they fit into God's agenda for your life. If you read further there was a point the bible recorded that Solomon deviated from the ways of the Lord and didn't follow totally the way of His father. God recognised David as a stead to Solomon because David followed the way of the Lord. As much as God led David to battle and was with Him, He didn't permit Him to build the house for God because of the many battles that involved killings. There are things you will have to change ,let go totally and some you have to hold on to and the guide you need for this decision is God .Does he permit it? Is it in His agenda for you? This are the questions you should ask yourself . Don't rise in the wrong stead, don't lay bricks on the wrong foundation. Make sure God approves of it. Remember God approved Solomon to rise in his father's stead. God's yes should be your go ahead.
Lord help me to rise in godly stead. Father give me grace not to adopt evil legacy. Father help me to be built on you. Father let my ears be attentive to your direction. Give me grace not to fall by the way side in Jesus name,amen !
TODAY'S TIP : WHAT HAS BEEN ISN'T A VALIDATION FOR WHAT OR HOW IT SHOULD BE. DOES IT FIT INTO GOD'S AGENDA FOR YOU ?
