Stay On Course:

If 5yr old kid knows something you don't know, humble yourself and learn. You can be an expert auto mechanic, but if you want to learn how to repair generators, you have to start from bottom. That is life. When David wore King Saul's Armour, he couldn't fight with it because it wasn't the method that trained him. And later on, this differences created an issue between the two. Saul became envious as well even when he had a "higher status" in the society. Dear upcoming young people, the system is rough. Your zeal will arouse envy & love in two major types of people. It's that zeal that will transform the dead systems of Nigeria. Discern. Not everyone is your friend.

Scripture Reading: 1st Kings 13:11-24; vs. 26, "Now there dwelt an old prophet in Beth-el; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Beth-el: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.
And their father said unto them, What way went he? For his sons had seen what way the man of God went, which came from Judah.
And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode thereon, And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.
Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.
And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:
For it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest. He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.
So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.
And it came to pass, as they sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came unto the prophet that brought him back:  And he cried unto the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD thy God commanded thee,
But camest back, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of the which the LORD did say to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.
And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back. And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.
And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake unto him."

Key Point: Don't be distracted. Be obidient to the One who created & equipped you. Focus on your purpose. The wrong people don't need to understand. The right people will. Focus on the right people.

Prayer: I pray this day: Y(our) destiny will not be cut short by distractions in Jesus Name Amen. With long life God shall satisfy us in Jesus Name Amen. God bless you. - Martha Iyen #MarthasDailyDevotional
