BOUNCING BACK FROM SETBACKS

LIGHT FOR THE WAY

TOPIC: BOUNCING BACK FROM SETBACKS

TEXT:  …He shall eat at my table, as one of the king’s sons (2 Samuel 9:11).

Life sometimes deal a bad blow. But regardless of how low you’ve gone, God can raise you and give you the victory. You can bounce back from your setbacks

Mephibosheth was the little five-year-old crippled grandson of Saul who was dropped when his nanny fled with him after Saul’s household fell under attack. Long after Saul and Jonathan’s deaths, David went looking for someone from the descendants of Jonathan to keep a promise that he would forever show kindness to his family (see 1 Sam. 20:15). A former servant of Saul, named Ziba, told David about Mephibosheth, now grown but still crippled. In Second Samuel 9, when Mephibosheth was introduced to David, he felt completely inferior because of his condition. In Second Samuel 9:8, he responded to David by saying, “Who am I that you would pay attention to a dead dog like me?” It was obvious he had no sense of self-worth. The effects of the murder of his father and grandfather, in addition to his own lame condition, were very visible. Yet, David ignored this and gave Mephibosheth a permanent dinner pass to the king’s table! In one day, he went from worthlessness to royalty!

Everyone has experienced one setback or another,  but as an heir of Christ you are given a permanent pass to the table of King Jesus. In spite of life’s blows, you can experience a major comeback in your field of endevour! You can return to the palace of your destiny,  prosperity and fulfillment.  It doesn’t matter how others view you or bad things have gotten; all Mephibosheth needed was the approval of the king. You have the approval of Christ the King today, God is ending every struggle and terminating shame in your life. It’s a new season of restoration for you!

WORD CONFESSION

 I am an evidence that Jesus Christ is alive and at work. I declare today that God is changing my status. I move from worthlessness to royalty, from minimum living to maximum existence, and I take my place at the table of the King of kings in Jesus name.
