DIVINE TRANSFORMATION II
Memorise: And the spirit of the Lord will come
upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with
them, and shalt be turned into another
man. 1st Samuel 10:6
Read: 1st Samuel 10:1-6, 10 Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his
head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the Lord hath
anointed thee to be captain over his inheritance?
2 When
thou art departed from me to day, then thou shalt find two men by Rachel's
sepulchre in the border of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say unto thee, The
asses which thou wentest to seek are found: and, lo, thy father hath left the
care of the asses, and sorroweth for you, saying, What shall I do for my son?
3 Then
shalt thou go on forward from thence, and thou shalt come to the plain of
Tabor, and there shall meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one
carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves of bread, and another
carrying a bottle of wine:
4 And
they will salute thee, and give thee two loaves of bread; which thou shalt
receive of their hands.
5 After
that thou shalt come to the hill of God, where is the garrison of the
Philistines: and it shall come to pass, when thou art come thither to the city,
that thou shalt meet a company of prophets coming down from the high place with
a psaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, and a harp, before them; and they shall
prophesy:
6 And
the Spirit of the Lord will
come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with them, and shalt be turned into
another man.

MESSAGE!!!
The Almighty God at
creation set the natural laws in motion, and they started to function just as
He commanded them. For example, the sun rises and sets at the appointed times and
so does the moon. However, whenever God decides to showcase His sovereignty, He
may decide to suspend these laws and do things as He pleases. He may even
decide to bring something out of nothing or make somebody out of nobody. This
is what people call ‘a miracle’. My prayer to someone using this devotional
today is that a divine transformation will make you somebody where you have
been locked upon as nobody in Jesus’ name.
The story in our Bible
reading today reveals a divine transformation in the life of the first king of
Israel, King Saul. He was not just appointed as a king; he started to prophesy.
The good news is that a better transformation which is equally divine is now
available to whoever is willing to surrender his life to Jesus Christ. The Bible
says in 2nd Corinthians 5:17;
“Therefore if any man
be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all
things are become new.”
As a result of this
experience, the believer becomes a very important personality. Apostle Peter
called us chosen, royal priesthood and peculiar. Beloved, do you desire divine
transformation? There is only one person who can give you this experience; and
this is Jesus Christ. The Bible says;
“He raiseth up the
poor out of the dust, and lifteth up the baggar from the dunghill, to set them
among princes…”
1st Samuel
2:8
However, the divine
transformation which makes an enemy of God become a friend of this same God,
take some responsibilities. Old things must pass away and the fellow must now
live according to the principles of the kingdom of God. The Bible says;
“And every man that
hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.”
1st John
3:3
This reality which
King Saul did not pay close attention to might have been responsible for his
dethronement. This may also account for the downfall of many children of God,
who God transformed and raised to be His ministers, but took the grace of
transformation for granted and lost their positions both in the ministry and in
the kingdom of God. This will not be your portion in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point
Father, please use your almighty power to give
me a pleasant transformation this season in Jesus’ name.
