Topic: TAKING IMMEDIATE ACTION
Text:1 Kings 1:31-37
1:31 Then Bathsheba bowed with her face to the earth, and paid homage to the king, and said, “Let my lord King David live forever!”
1:32 And King David said, “Call to me Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada.” So they came before the king.
1:33 The king also said to them, “Take with you the servants of your lord, and have Solomon my son ride on my own mule, and take him down to Gihon.
1:34 There let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him king over Israel; and blow the horn, and say, [j]‘Long live King Solomon
1:35 Then you shall come up after him, and he shall come and sit on my throne, and he shall be king in my place. For I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and Judah.”
1:36 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king and said, “Amen! May the Lord God of my lord the king say so too.
1:37 As the Lord has been with my lord the king, even so may He be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David.”
STUDY:
David immediately took action. He called all his loyal officers and directed them on what to do to make Solomon king. They were to make him ride on the King David’s personal mule and to sit on his throne after coronation. This was to show that King David was in support of Solomon. They all left immediately to carry out the directive.
Many projects have been stalled because of delay in action.
Many men have ended up not marrying their ordained wives because of procrastination. While they were delaying, another man stepped in and proposed to their dream woman. Many have not attained their target success for delay in taking immediate action or decision. Many treaties that could have changed the course of history were never signed because of delay. Some careers were never pursued because of delay. What is it that you have in mind to do? Why not take immediate action now and pursue it until you achieve your goal. Start now!
Prayer:
Dear Father, may I not delay again that which you have been nudging me to do. Amen.
