So David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them?”
And He answered him, “Pursue, for you shall surely overtake them and without fail recover all.”
1 Samuel 30:8 (NKJV)
King David had recently suffered some devastation, attack and loss in the hands of the Amalekites. The situation then set him up for a 'more than a conqueror' role. When we suffer or experience “temporary setback, losses or failures”, it’s probably an opportunity presenting itself in disguise.
Life will not always present itself as a bed of roses. The seasons and times will change, but we must walk and operate with a different attitude, our response and reaction to life and its challenges thereof must be different from that of the world. Sin may also try to silence and disqualify us for His grace and mercy, yet we must confront them as we do on other issues of life. So in light of the changing times that will come...
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
Romans 8:37 (NKJV)
Taking advantage of these opportunities leads us to exercising total Recovery, total Restoration and total Possession. Never despise your challenging seasons, rather claim the lessons and benefits of the season.
Be encouraged,
Afolabi
