The Heritage Of His Servants – 3

Apostle Grace Lubega

2 Samuel 15:23-24(KJV); And all the country wept with a loud voice, and all the people passed over: the king also himself passed over the brook Kidron, and all the people passed over, toward the way of the wilderness. And lo Zadok also, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God: and they set down the ark of God; and Abiathar went up until all the people had done passing out of the city

The Heritage Of His Servants - 3When King David fled from his son Absalom’s invading troops, the Bible reveals that the covenant box left with him.

The covenant box represented the presence of God.

Think about it.

It is this very covenant box that Uzzah touched and died (2 Samuel 6:7). It is this very covenant box that brought plagues to the Philistines (1 Samuel 5 and 6).

However, despite all of David’s mistakes, despite the fact that at that point in time, he was deemed unworthy in the eyes of Israel, the covenant box went with him.

What does this mean to the Christian?

The presence of God does not depart from you simply because you made a mistake. God does not cast you away from His presence.

He says I will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).

In Isaiah 49:15, He says that a mother may abandon a child that she bore but He will never forget you!

Some Christians leave church and abandon ministry because they think that the presence of God has departed from them because of their failures.

This is not so, child of God.
He is with you. He goes before you, is beside you and is in you.

His name be praised!

FURTHER STUDY: Deuteronomy 31:6, Isaiah 49:15

GOLDEN NUGGET:

The presence of God does not depart from you simply because you made a mistake. God does not cast you away from His presence.

PRAYER: Father, I am grateful for this Word. I have been sealed with the Holy Spirit and the anointing abides with me forever. Your presence in my life shall never depart because this is your promise to me. I live life in the consciousness that you are ever-present. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
