YOU WILL RECOVER ALL
“And there was nothing lacking to them, neither small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.” 1 Samuel 30:19 (KJV)
Beloved what you seem to have lost in the real sense of it, is not lost. The enemy that has apparently stolen from you is very much afraid of you and is only keeping the things he stole, waiting for when you’ll come back for them. Maybe you are asking: “But Brother Mike, how do you know?”
The book of 2 Samuel 30:2 declares: “And had taken the women captives that were therein: they slew not any, either great or small, but carried them away, and went on their way.” Did you see that? The Bible was careful to record that the enemies didn’t kill any of the captives but carried them away. Imagine if they had killed their wives and children, would there have been any need to pursue, overtake and recover all? Absolutely not! Such an instruction wouldn’t have made any sense because there would be nothing to recover. In fact, the word recover suggests that what was stolen is still there, waiting for the owner to take the necessary steps to regain it.
However, you won’t recover, if you’re still crying and weeping. Encourage yourself and refuse to join the company of those who become overwhelmed with issues, that they forget who they are in Christ.
David only received instruction from God when he functioned in the authority of his identity. In verse 7 of the same chapter, he requested the Ephod from Abiathar the priest. Do you know what the Ephod is? It is the priestly garment. This means that David functioned in his office as a priest. Do you know who you are? I challenge you to zero in on your new creation realities and take back all the devil has stolen from you. The Bible says that you are a king and priest unto God. Function in your priestly capacity! You will not be denied because God’s word cannot fail.
