Sermon by Pastor Thaddeus Kyale
26th January 2025
” – 1 Samuel 30:6 KJV (NIV)
1 Samuel 30:1-18
🔸In Hebrew, Brook Besor signifies a cold and calm place.
🔸It’s essential to remember that even during the pressures of life, we must not back down. Fatigue may set in, but we must keep walking and not quit
🔸While David had 400 men with him, it was his pursuit and inquiring of the Lord that earned him victory.
🔸God’s restoration goes beyond mere recovery of what we lost; it encompasses faith restoration, time redemption, and rebuilding our confidence in Him.
🔸 When we become aware of our current season and the spiritual intelligence it brings, we can maximize our time, compensating for past losses, as depicted in Joel 2:25.
🔸Our ability to protect our time and energy is crucial. Where we invest these resources determines if we draw value or lose it. The enemy seeks to rob us of time, delaying our divine destiny.
🔸Ziklag embodies the things we value that might have been taken away. David’s abandonment of Ziklag left it vulnerable to attacks—highlighting that sometimes our losses stem from our own neglect.
☺️Yet, Ziklag can also transform from a place of pressing into a place of blessing through divine instruction and an expression of God’s love.
🔸Central to our recovery is making God the center of our lives.
🔸Sometimes, the most significant blessing is coming back to our senses—more impactful than prayers.
🔸By harnessing our spiritual intelligence, we can advance beyond both EQ and IQ; a little in God’s hands can grow exponentially.
🔸While running from Saul, David lived in 12 towns, Ziklag was the place of pressing and was the second last town David stayed in. Ziklag served as a pivotal moment for David, marking the second last town he stayed in before reaching Hebron, which translates to “almost there.” In Hebron, he had the opportunity to glimpse Jerusalem, symbolizing that whatever you have been searching for, you are almost there. almost there.
