DIVINE ENTHRONEMENT
TEXT: I SAM 2:8

“He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the beggar from the ash heap, to set them among princes And make them inherit the throne of glory. “For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and He has set the world upon them.” (1 Samuel 2:8, NKJV)

 

INTRODUCTION

 

To enthrone means to honour or exalt, to assign authority or give power, to place on a throne. There are different sources of enthronement.

 

I.   TYPES OF ENTHRONEMENT

 

1. Self: “When Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the royal heirs.” 2 Kings 11:1, NKJV) (2 Samuel 15:10 and 1 Kings 1:5 NKJV) 

 

Characteristics of Self-Enthronement:

 

a). Plots

b). Pride

c). Preteens

 

2.  Other Humans: “And so it was, when the people of Ammon made war against Israel, that the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob. Then they said to Jephthah, “Come and be our commander, that we may fight against the people of Ammon.” (Judges 11:5- 6, NKJV)

 

Characteristics of Human Enthronement:

 

a. Wrong Evaluation

b. Hasty Conclusion

c.   Hidden Agenda

 

3.  Demonic: “Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, [a] Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.” (Matthew 4:8-10, NKJV) 

 

Characteristics of Demonic Enthronement:

 

a. Costly

b. Abundant Misery

c. Anti-God

 

4.   Divine: “So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with bright eyes, and good-looking. And the Lord said, “Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!” (1 Samuel 16:12, NKJV)

 

Characteristics of Divine Enthronement

 

a.  Prepared

b.  Purposed

c.  Love of God

 

II. CHARACTERISTICS OF DIVINE ENTHRONEMENT

 

When enthronement is divine:

1. Status is irrelevant: 

 

“Now Joshua the son of Nun sent out two men from Acacia Grove to spy secretly, saying, “Go, view the land, especially Jericho.” So they went, and came to the house of a harlot named Rahab, and lodged there.” (Joshua 2:1, NKJV)

2. Nationality is irrelevant: 

Then Boaz said, “On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must also buy it from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to perpetuate the name of the dead through his inheritance.” (Ruth 4:5, NKJV)

 

3.  Position is irrelevant: 

And Saul answered and said, “Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak like this to me?” (1 Samuel 2:21, NKJV)

 

4. State is irrelevant: 

“Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him quickly out of the dungeon; and he shaved, changed his clothing, and came to Pharaoh.” (Genesis 41:14, NKJV)

 

5.  Conception is irrelevant: 

“Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin, my mother conceived me.” (Psalm 51:5, NKJV) 

 

III.   WHY WILL GOD ENTHRONE?

 

1.  He can be everywhere at the same time—Psalm 139:7-13

2.  He  can do as he pleases—Psalm 115:3

3.  He has the power to do as he pleases—Psalm 62:11

4.  He has the wisdom to do as he pleases—Romans 11:33

5.  He is unchallengeable—Isaiah 46:5

IV. SCRIPTURAL EXAMPLES OF DIVINE ENTHRONEMENT

We have studied the life of some characters in the bible that experience the divine enthronement, moved from Grass to Grace. And this includes; 

1.  Joseph Genesis 41 vs 8-17 and 38-44,

2.  Daniel in Daniel 1 vs 3-6,17-21, Daniel 2 vs 1-5,10-23,48-49, Daniel 4,5, 6 vs 1-9 vs 13 and vs 28. 

3.  David 1 Samuel 16 vs 5-13, 

4.  Modecai Esther 6, 

5.  Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in Daniel 3 

6.  Also Esther in Esther 2 vs 15 – 18.

V.  ATTRIBUTES OF DIVINE ENTHRONEMENT

 

Attributes of Divine Enthronement Whom God enthrone no man can dethrone: Psalm 89:20-37 

 

Those that God will enthrone (Your part in Divine Enthronement)

1.       Diligent—a worker: When Samuel said go and bring him, David was not indolent or idle. He was busy tending his father’s sheep. “David replied to Saul, “I am a shepherd for my father’s sheep…” (1 Samuel 17:34a, GWT) David was busy in the pasture land while all his other brothers were home doing nothing. God does not choose the lazy. (Proverbs 22:29)

 

2.     Distinct—already set apart: During invitation of the children of Jesse, he told them to sanctify yourself but when David came, there was nothing like that. This means God already saw him as set apart. “I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well-pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship.” (Romans 12:1, TAB)

 

3.     Dancer—for the Lord: “And David danced before the Lord with all his might, wearing a priestly garment. So David and all the people of Israel brought up the Ark of the Lord with shouts of joy and the blowing of rams’ horns. (2 Samuel 6:14-15, NLT)

4.      Defender—of God’s Heritage: “David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of this Philistine; your servant will go out and fight with him.” (1 Samuel 17:32, TAB)

 

5.     Destined—His choice was unusual “Then he asked Jesse, “Is this it? Are there no more sons?” “Well, yes, there’s the runt. But he’s out tending the sheep.” Samuel ordered Jesse, “Go get him. We’re not moving from this spot until he’s here.” (1 Samuel 16:11, MSG)

VI. QUALITIES FOR DIVINE ENTHRONEMENT

 

Some of the Qualities Required For Divine Enthronement

 

Looking critically at those people mentioned above, we will find out that there are some qualities that were being exhibited by these people in the journey of the lives that took them from grass level to the Grace level we have being talking about.

 

As we know that for a King or Queen to be enthroned there are some qualities that are expected, in the same vein for God to divinely enthrone you there are some criteria that must be met, although He has the final decision and obviously does His things the way He wants it, but also He is God that has principles.

 

The first quality that cannot be compromised is that; 

 

1.       You must be born again; you must belong to the family of God, heirs to the throne before you can be considered as a candidate for divine enthronement. John 3 vs 1-7.

The issue of being born again cannot be overemphasized if only one wants to have eternal life and reign with Christ forever.

2.     Secondly , you must be Faithful. Faithfulness is required in getting to the throne and remaining there as was seen in the life of Joseph in Genesis 39 vs 7-23, and Daniel in Daniel 6 vs 4-5.

3.      Diligence is another quality that is required for divine enthronement as mentioned in Proverbs 22 vs 29. Seest thou a man diligent in his business? He shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men. For you to move from the grass level to the Grace level diligence is required.

4.     Acknowledging God in everything is also of prior importance if you want continuous progress in life as the Lord purposed there is need for you to acknowledge God as the promoter and that without Him you cannot be where you are and achieve what you have achieved. Daniel acknowledges God continually and God never stops in promoting him. Daniel 2 vs 19-23, Proverbs 3 vs 5-6

5.     Actively involving in the ministry of reconciliation is another trait required in the divine enthronement, as the Lord commanded that we should go into the world and preach the gospel. 2Corinthians 5:17-19.

The heartbeat of the father is Salvation, and as His children, he has commissioned us to be His ambassador and continue the work of reconciliation until His second coming. For He said in 2 Peter 3:9

 

These points are not exhaustive brethren, I pray that the good God reveal unto us the qualities He wants in us that will always make Him to continually promote us in Jesus mighty name. Amen

May we not miss our time of divine enthronement in Jesus name.

 

 

 

 

DECEMBER 2020 OUR MONTH FOR SHILOH

 
Dear beloved,

 

If God is for you who can be against you?

 

Oh, it’s December 2020! How quickly the year has progressed. I believe these calls for thanksgiving.

 

But for some it isn’t quite as expected: there are still unmet expectations and desires. Nevertheless, I’m sure there are still reasons to give thanks. After all, it’s the livings that praise the Lord.

The year has indeed been a challenging one in all aspects of life, be it home or abroad. We all witness lockdowns around the nations of the globe, making life very unbearable for thousands. All plans you had for the year all want in vain.

Many this Year 2020 lost their jobs, Plans for marriages were cancelled, travelling plans, Educational plans etc, all this has kept many perplexed asking selves questions without answers as the entire world seems to have stopped functioning, with no one really able to explain to  us what is truly going on actually on the surface of the earth. Governments are confused, frustrated, as many economies are pulled down, yet when it seems like it will be okay soon, things turn to disfavor your plans. You ask yourselves about the prophetic messages you had at the start of the year, what has become of it, some of your took loans for projects and businesses with December being your target. For such December is not welcomed, but I announce to you that December will be your month of answered prayers, Our good God will remember you this December in the name of Jesus.

December 2020, is our month of Shiloh, the mountain of Answered Prayers.

Remember the story of Hannah in the bible, Hannah went to Shiloh every year with the expectation of having a child, from year to year nothing changed in her life. One good thing about Hannah is that she never gave up. That is why I want to congratulate everyone of your that is reading this message today, just like Hannah thousands of you had not given up, its true 5 years ago your trusted God for a Miracle yet nothing happened, every year is like the previous one no testimony, nothing to show forth, you have become a mockery to your family, colleagues, friends, and even to your church just like Hannah.

But this particular Shiloh, this Particular December is not going to be like others in the name of Jesus, that year Hannah went extra miles, she go pass the post and prayed like never before and  her debts were paid, her house rents were settled, unemployment was over, all her cancelled project were approved again by the Lord. You are next in line.

“In her deep anguish Hannah prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly. And she made a vow, saying, “Lord Almighty, if you will only look on your servant’s misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the Lord for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head… So in the course of time Hannah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Samuel, saying, “Because I asked the Lord for him.”    1 Samuel 1:10-11, 20.

Hannah’s story is one of the most well-known stories of faith-filled women mentioned in the Bible. Her longing for a child, and dark season of waiting, has brought countless women (and men) to pore over these pages of 1 Samuel chapters 1-2. At that time in the Bible, barrenness brought deep shame upon a family. Because children were counted as God’s blessing, to encounter infertility was a difficult burden for any couple to bear.   

You are going through things you can’t bear, draw nearer to Shiloh the mountain of answered prayers and your case will surely be different as you hold on to the horns of the altar as Hannah did, by going extra miles, crying to your maker he will answer you in the name of Jesus.              

AND IF THE 31st DECEMBER 2020 WAS THE END OF THE WORLD?

 

From January to date have you shared the word of the Lord with someone?

We can always remember birthday dates of our love ones, we always roach to visit our love ones when there are hospitalised, we travail far or near for funerals, we take part in promotion parties of our love ones, in the process of this we go miles, at times to borrow money to look for the best and most expensive gifts to offer to our love ones birthday, colleagues promotion, or again to please our Managers and Directors just for us to be approved to by the society.

In due cost many of us lose our jobs, lose our homes, some become sick, some even die, why all this? Don’t you think that rather than borrowing money to buy gifts to be approved of men, you should offer to your love ones the greatest gift that is in you? THE WORD OF GOD.

In that Marriage ceremony, that Birthday, ceremony, that Promotion ceremony, that baby shower ceremony, that PTA meeting, that funeral you are invited this week, this weekend you need not to borrow money to buy the best material gifts, all you need to do is to give them the best gift that is in the inside of you, that gift that you received days behind, months ago, years back, (THE WORD OF GOD) share it with somebody today, your love ones.
Luke 4:43

As parents we are all preparing this December 2020,  to bless our children with material gifts, tolls, dresses, food etc. And we have a huge budget for that. But as a parent have you bought a Bible for your Children? This year please let’s offer the word of God to our love ones.

They need it more than they need the material gifts we offer them. Think of your children, think of your colleagues the way they react, look at your parent’s reactions, have you noticed your boss, your Director, your manager are stressed up  those you visit in Hospitals with fruits and food, the is something you have that they don’t have its THE WORD OF GOD.

My dear brother and sister your love ones are thirty just like you were once thirty and someone brought the good news to you take it to someone today.

John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

Your relatives need the word, Mark 16:15  they are walking in darkness, they have no direction of their lives. That your friend’s marriage does not need seminars to restore the darkness his/her home is going through. That your colleagues situation can’t be handled by a life coach. The stress your husband, your wife, you children, your parents, your boss is going through does not need a therapy. All this can’t bring them out of darkness.  

In John 8:12 Jesus applies the title to himself while debating with the Jews and states: I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. ... The term “Life of the World” is applied in the same sense by Jesus to himself in John 6:51.  

Sharing the good news with someone is today is the greatest gift to offer.... Proverbs 15:30 - Bright eyes gladden the heart; Good news puts fat on the bones.

Just make it your duty this Day to share the WORD OF GOD with someone: 2 Timothy 4:2-12

 

 

 

NOVEMBER 2020, YOUR MONTH OF DOUBLE HONOUR!

 Dearly beloved

 

Welcome to November 2020, your month of double honour!

 

The year 2020 is already beginning to take shape for many, and I believe you are one of them. The Bible says: ‘Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof’ (Ecclesiastes 7:8).

 

Whatever God has done for you, or has not yet done, let me assure you that, this year 2020, He will fulfil all His purposes for your life. No devil can stop your blessings in Jesus’ name. Isaiah 41:10, ‘‘Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” 

The Bible states, “…the path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day” (Proverbs 4:18).

I believe your testimony this month of November 2020 will be such that everywhere you have been put to shame, you will be doubly honoured in Jesus name.

 

In fact, the word God has given us for the month is in Isaiah 61:7. So I Prophecy to you: Instead of your shame you shall have double honour, and instead of confusion you shall rejoice in your portion. Therefore in this land (where you reside or do business), you shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be yours.

 

 The truth is, you really do not have any choice in this matter. God has said it, and He will bring it to pass. So, let faith rise up in your heart to take hold of every blessing God has earmarked for you.

 

The question is: What have you been meditating on? Remember, as a man thinks in his heart, so he becomes.

 

Also, the Bible says Let us hold fast the confession of our hope

Without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

 

Can I advise you? Cultivate the habit of always meditating and saying what God has said about you, rather than dwelling on the failures of the past.

 

• If God did it for Jephthah, a castaway and a vagabond, he will do it for you.

 

• If He did it for Jabez, whose name and life meant pain, he will do it for you.

 

• If he did it for Sarah, who at 89 could not be said to still, be

Believing God for a child, he will do it for you.

 

• If he did it for the man beside the pool Bethesda, who had been bedridden for 38 years and was on all counts helpless, he will do it for you.

 

• If He did it for Daniel, who was a slave in a foreign land, He will do it for you.

 

Isaiah 40:31,” But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary, and they shall walk, and not faint.”

 

 

Remember, it is still your year of Double Portion of a Prophetic Speed. God will cause you to laugh as He steps into your situation and crowns you with double honour in Jesus’ name.

 

•       Be in an expectant mood.

•       Remind Him daily of His word.

•       Go about with an attitude of gratitude.

•       Refuse to allow anything to make you doubt God.

This month, you will be celebrated in unusual places in the name of Jesus. 

PROPHECIES FOR THE MONTH

OF NOVEMBER 2020

 

Matthew 20:6-7: “And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.”

Isaiah 41:10, ‘‘Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
