ALWAYS INQUIRE OF THE LORD

1 Samuel 23King James Version (KJV)

Hey peeps how have you all been? I wanna share the Word of God with you all.                                  23 "Then they told David, saying, Behold, the Philistines fight against Keilah, and they rob the threshingfloors.

² Therefore David enquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go and smite these Philistines? And the Lord said unto David, Go, and smite the Philistines, and save Keilah."

 The first thing David did after he was told about the Philistines attack was to Inquire of the Lord whether to go or not. You all know David to be strong and mighty when it comes to battles but he did not rely on his strength since he knew the giver of his strength.He quickly went straight to the source of his strength thus God and Inquired whether it's his responsibility to fight for the people of Keilah or not! Sometimes you fight battles which are not yours so how do you expect to win.You depend entirely on your strength,wealth,education,family,work and marriage instead of God who is the source of it all. It's not every battle you are suppose to fight but how will you know it is not meant for you? When you begin to acknowledge the God you serve, depend on Him solely and never do things on your own accord. Sometimes the decisions you make without God turn out to be the worst! Commit your plans to God and He shall blessed them and make it fruitful so if you don't commit your plans to Him, how would He blessed those plans of yours. Today I want you to know that before you start anything, always inquire of the Lord  and success shall be yours. David always inquired of the Lord and he really prospered in his life!!!! When you study the book of 1Samuel 17:45-46 Then said David to the Philistine, "Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
⁴⁶ This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel".  You realize when Goliath depended on his own strength to win the fight, David rather depended on God,sought for victory from Him and surely he won the fight:David killed Goliath! Put God first in your life!!! LET JESUS CHRIST BE ALIVE IN YOUR LIVES!!Shalom!
