Topic: WHAT GOD HAS ORDAINED
Text:1 Kings 1:38-43
1:38 So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Cherethites, and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David’s mule, and took him to Gihon.
1:39 So Zadok the priest, Nathan the prophet, Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the Cherethites, and the Pelethites went down and had Solomon ride on King David’s mule, and took him to Gihon.
1:40 And all the people went up after him; and the people played the flutes and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth seemed to split with their sound.
1:41 Now Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they finished eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the horn, he said, “Why is the city in such a noisy uproar?”
1:42 While he was still speaking, there came Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest. And Adonijah said to him, “Come in, for you are a prominent man, and bring good news.”
1:43 Then Jonathan answered and said to Adonijah, “No! Our lord King David has made Solomon king.
STUDY:
Finally, Solomon was crowned king, according to the instructions of his father, David. The people rejoiced on the choice, showing acceptance. Though Solomon was younger, he was God’s choice to succeed David. God’s time is the best.
Solomon was the later son of Bathsheba who had an adulterous relationship with King David. God had forgiven them and decided to choose a successor from their legal marital relationship. Our God is a merciful God. He quickly forgives iniquity when we confess and repent. He said in Psalms 103:8-10 thus: “The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. He will not always strive with us, nor will He keep His anger forever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our iniquities.” Nobody can prevent what God has ordained for us. No Adonijah can do that! Look unto God. It may delay but it will surely come.
Prayer:
Dear Lord, I know that all you have ordained for me must come to pass in Jesus’ Name.
