RESTORATION TODAY
TUESDAY 22ND NOVEMBER 2016
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.

THEME: THE SERVANT HEART OF DAVID [2]

Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel?. 2 Samuel 7: 8.

In continuation from yesterday, we looked at the lessons from two stages of the life of David. Today, we shall consider one more stage of his life leadership and clearly see how his godly devotion allowed the Lord to use him mightily.

3. As a Leader: Following his encounter with Bathsheba, David's life was plagued by heartache, suffering, and conflict. He had sinned greatly, but God forgave him and continued to use him as king and military commander. He ruled Israel for 40 years, and his people called Jerusalem the City of David. His restoration teaches us about sin's consequences and God's limitlessness grace.
King David served God?s purpose when he lived, and his impact continues thousands of years later, every follower of Jesus Christ has been blessed by David?s obedience, service, and literary skill. He is a great example of what God can accomplish through us if we yield our lives to Him.

ACTION POINT:
God can restore you and still use you if you will turn to Him in your time of failure.
