COMPANY FOR THE LONELY II – Wednesday
September 9th 2020
Memorise: And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season
we shall reap, if we faint not. Galatians 6:9
Read: 1st Samuel 16:18-19 (KJV)
18 Then answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a
son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant
man, and a man of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and
the Lord is
with him.
19 Wherefore Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David
thy son, which is with the sheep.
Bible in one year: Ezekiel 42-43, Hymn: Sing hymn 20
Message:-
Having established yesterday that your period
of loneliness will soon be over, today, I want us to look more deeply at
David’s major preoccupation when he was alone with the sheep.

This major
preoccupation is also what attracted the anointing that broke the yoke of
loneliness in his life. 1st Samuel 16:18-19 gives a report about
David while he was alone with the sheep.
“Then
answered one of the servants, and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the
Bethlehemite, that is cumming in playing, and a mighty valiant man, and a man
of war, and prudent in matters, and a comely person, and the LORD is with him. Wherefore
Saul sent messengers unto Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, which is with
the sheep.”

David’s
harp-playing prowess was attested to by one of King Saul’s servants who had
witnessed David playing while he was alone with the sheep. The servant could
attest to the fact that God was with David, so in reality he was never lonely.
When I used to drive myself around, many times I would praise God to such an
extent that His presence would fill the car and I wouldn’t be able to
concentrate on driving. I would have to park the car by the roadside for a bit.
Now, I spend hours walking alone in the middle of the night, praising God. Sometimes
I go into the bush because I don’t want any disturbance, but never do I feel
lonely in those times. Today, I have so many people around me that it would be
difficult for me to be lonely in any part of the world.
Open Heaven 9 September 2020 Wednesday: Key Point
God’s presence is the best company you can
ever want. If you spend your lonely days praising God, doing His will and
soaking yourself in His presence. Soon, He will anoint and lift you out of that
place of loneliness and you would become one whom the whole world would want to
spend time with.
Key Point
Constantly soak yourself in the presence of the Lord. Very soon, the
whole world will want to be with you.
