DIVINE
TRANSFORMATION II
Memorise:
And the spirit of the Lord will come upon thee, and thou shalt prophesy with
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.
