Bible Reading: 2 Samuel 9:1-13

Memory Verse: Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.” Exo. 33:19 (NKJV)

A preacher was once invited to preach at the thanksgiving service of a particular king. While he was preparing for the service, his chiefs, dressed in regalia of various secret societies, began to come in. An Usher saw them and ran to ask if they should be allowed to enter the church. The preacher told him to seat them in the front row where Jesus would be able to reach them quickly. He immediately changed his sermon talking about Elijah’s confrontation with the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel. At the end of the sermon, because he knew who his Master is, he said this to them: “I challenge all of you, if you can use all your powers to deflate one of my tyres, I will surrender to your god, but if you cannot, you must surrender to my God”. Hewent ahead to tell them the registration number of his car. By the time he gave the altar call, the second-in-command to the king, who was the leader of all the secret societies, was the first to come forward. When the other chiefs saw this, they followed suit. After the service, the king said they should together go and check on his second-in-command to find out if he understood what he just did. When they got there, he said he knew what he had done by surrendering to Christ, adding, “When you see a small boy like this challenging all of us, who doesn’t know that he must have someone behind him? It is the One behind him that we surrendered to.” Thirty days later, this chief died. He had served the devil all his life and was heading for hell, but thirty days before his death, he changed to a new government and he is now in Heaven. Who is managing your life? This year is not over until it is over. Before the end of this year, by the mercies of God, power will change hands in your academics, family, business, in Jesus name.
