FORCES AGAINST ESTABLISHEMENT



READ: 1 SAMUEL 13:11-13
Any blessing received without a further blessing of divine establishment will be ephemeral. Some people appear to forbid being established. Just when God is about to establish them, they will do something that will make God change His mind. May the Lord never change His good thoughts and plans for you. May anti-establishment spirits waiting at very crucial points of your destiny never catch up with you in Jesus name.
Adam was blessed and highly favoured by God. He is still the only man to have lived in a perfect world. Just when he was about to discover and eat the fruit of the tree of life and thereafter be established never to die, he went and ate of the forbidden fruit and lost Eden perpetually and sold creation into spiritual slavery (Genesis 3:22-24). He was not alone. Anti-establishment forces also played a fast one on Eli. This time it was the force of his flesh. Eli had a great start that made God to vow that his household should produce priests forever. Then his flesh pushed him to ignore the atrocities of his sons to the point that he lost everything just when he was about to be established (1 Samuel 2:30).
In 1 Samuel 13:11-13, Saul who had been crowned king was just about to be established when the forces of his flesh pushed him into overstepping his bounds. He had become corrupted and too big for the man who anointed him. Not long after he became too big for Samuel, he equally became too big for God to handle. Then the ceremony that was slotted to establish his throne was the one used in dethroning him. Worst still, he and all his sons died on the same day. Have you gone through a situation where your blessing was eroded instead of being established? The Lord will make a way for you. Call on Him today. Is your flesh pushing you out of God’s will? Are you fighting against the lust of your flesh? If so, prayerfully subdue it. Deny ot some muscles through fasting and prayer. If it is spiritual forces of darkness, take authority over them, plead the blood of Jesus on yourself and paralyze them in prayer. Ask God to establish your blessing today. You will not fail or be cut off from your blessing. Every anti-establishment force against your blessing is paralyzed in Jesus name.
MEMORIZE: 1 SAMUEL 13:13 –And Samuel said to Saul, You have done foolishly; you have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which He commanded you; for now would the LORD have established your kingdom upon Israel for ever.
