Intention (2)

 2 Samuel 7:1-16

Our text passage shows us an insight that brought blessings into King David's life.

 King David desired to build a house for God, it was his intention and this pleased God.

God honored David's good intention towards God's presence (the ark of the covenant), He did so through David's son- King Solomon.

Kind Solomon went on to build what is perhaps the most glorious and expensive temple ever built for the Lord.

1 Kings 6:1-14

It all started with a godly intention, King David's intention.

Your intention can also please God.

David's intention brought glory to God.

God wants to honor your godly intentions as He honored David's intention.

Your intention emanates from your heart and gives strength to your imagination.

What you intend is what you will most likely imagine.

Whatever a people intend, imagine, and work together in unity to achieve will be accomplished.

Genesis 11:4-6

Your intention can become your focus, when this focus is given illumination through your imagination, it's manifestation is almost certain.

Your intention is powerful.

King Solomon is another individual who benefitted from having a good and godly intention.

Solomon the young king of Israel found himself in the big shoes of his father, the legendary King David.

A young man, with his father's legend to live up to, at a time he had just stepped into King David's big shoes,  Solomon asked God for wisdom (a discerning heart and knowledge) to lead God's people right.

Pleased with Solomon's request, a request which came from Solomon's heart, God gave Solomon an abundance of what he asked for, and added distinction, majesty, and material prosperity.

1 Kings 3:7-14

Solomon's intention was right and it got him blessed.

The blessings he got from God started with Solomon intending to lead God's people right.

1 Kings 3:9,10

Your kingdom intentions can attract blessings into your life and generations.

This is part of what it means to seek first the kingdom of God, His righteousness, and all other things will be added.

Matthew 6:33

God spoke to Abraham, giving him the instruction to sacrifice Isaac his son on Mount Moriah.

Abraham intended to obey.

Abraham wasn't like Jonah the evangelist who didn't want the people of Nineveh to repent and disobeyed God temporarily.

Abraham acted on his intention and God given instruction, he got blessed for it.

Genesis 22:1-15

It attracted God's generational blessing.

It made God swear.

Genesis 22:16-18

Your godly intentions can get you blessed.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
