TRAIN FOR YOUR FUTURE

(Don’t Neglect Your Responsibilities)

📖TO THE BIBLE : 1 Samuel 17:34-37

“...David said to Saul, “Your servant used to keep his father’s sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, I went out after it and struck it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth...Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God....”

LET'S TALK ⏩

The opening scripture is the account of David’s first encounter with Saul, the king of Israel. I want you to note that at this time he wasn’t qualified to be in the army. Yet, the confidence he exuded as he spoke was nothing short of that of an experienced warrior. As you study the life of David, you’ll understand the reason he was so bold and confident of killing Goliath of Gath was that he had been trained for it. Nobody knew that while he was tending his father’s sheep, God was also training him for the future.

The responsibilities given to him at home seemed menial and mundane compared to those of his “warrior” brothers. Nonetheless, he performed every task faithfully and with utmost diligence. These were the qualities that brought him before Saul. Though David was a fresh-faced teenager, seemingly unfit and untrained for combat, he killed Goliath, brought Israel victory over the Philistines and went on to become God’s great general for Israel! God had trained him for his future.

Don’t despise any responsibility you’re given today, irrespective of how lowly it may seem. Always remember that God is training you for the great future ahead of you through His Word and by His Spirit.

Testimony Of How I Got Born Again. REV TOM AMENKHIENAN. Pastor Chris Led Me To Salvation.

JESUS LOVES ME! HE HAD MY LIFE ALL PLANNED OUT. I was born into a Roman Catholic family setting, with a strong influence of the Roman Catholic culture running through the entire family because my maternal Grandparents had been very committed and recognized leaders in the Roman Catholic Church. I was baptized and confirmed at an early age and soon enlisted as an Altar Boy (Mass Server). At this early age, the Priests and Reverend Fathers in charge of our local assembly (mostly foreigners, especially from Ireland), deliberately sought to groom, tailor and mentor me in the direction of becoming a Roman Catholic Priest, encouraging me to attend the Seminary once I came of age. I grew up with this background and was indoctrinated in it until I had my first encounter with another Christian Group in my Secondary School days when a group from the Scripture Union organized a fellowship in our school and preached the gospel to me. I attended a few of their fellowship meetings and tried to ...

Pastor Biodun Lawal tells a story.

JESUS CALLED ME! My name is Pastor Biodun Lawal. I am the zonal pastor of Christ Embassy Accra, Ghana and I want to thank our man of God, our pastor, our coach and our father for the opportunity to share my salvation testimony with you. I title it Jesus Called Me. I was born and raised up in a Muslim house, my parents were Muslims. I was trained as a kid to go to Quranic School and on how to lead prayers in the mosque as well. I grew up as a Muslim learning the things that a young Muslim should do. As at that time, my parents had a lot of Christian friends and at the age of five my parents allow me to follow their friends children to church(Sunday school) and that was my first encounter with Christianity. All the things that we were taught at the Sunday school didn’t make sense to me then because I only followed the children to go and play. Then suddenly, my parents stopped me from attending the Sunday school because they had wanted me to focus on their religion which is Islam. T...
