RECOVER IT ALL

Ziklag is a place given to David

often we take for granted things tt were given to us

the devil is after the gifts tt God has given us 

we have to protect what we have

1. our walk with God

-so used to online service

   -even multitasking during service

2. our worship

3. our relationship with ppl

feel rejected

4. our purpose

-our dreams

-inaction

how David recover it all

1. encouraged himself in the Lord

-David encouraged himself in the Lord

-David was first binding himself in destress and then bind himself with God and was strengthened

2. pursued what he lost

some ppl cant recover cos they didnt want to pursue or pursue in the wrong direction

   -health --- not eating the food that will affect our health

   -finances --- not going back to gambling or loan shark

-David fought hard and fought long

   -we cant be passive, easy, laid-back

3. went through a pruning process

-who and what we have to let go in life

   -things or ppl tt hold us from moving forward

4. honor and kindness to the weak

-when David and his army saw the young man who was from his enemy

   -instead of killing him, David gave him food

David's kindness to the young man is instrumental to recover David's family

-how we handle what happened

-how we handle our attackers is how God will handle us

-refusal to sabotage our future

-we forgive to prevent ourselves being toxic

-found strength in himself

-pursue in the right direction

-cut away things tt are holding him back

-forgive and spared the young man

David recovered all!
