BEWARE OF MEPHIBOSHETH'S NURSE

"Saul’s son Jonathan had a son named Mephibosheth. He was five years old when the news came from Jezreel that Saul and Jonathan had been killed. The woman who cared for Mephibosheth picked him up and ran away. But while running away, she dropped the boy, and he became crippled in both feet".2 Samuel 4:4 (ERV)

One of the most pathetic stories in the Bible is that of Mephibosheth- a young man born to reign as Prince in Jerusalem but became an asylum seeker in Lodebar. His destiny took a downward turn the day his nurse decided to run while carrying him. On that fateful day, Mephibosheth fell and lost his two legs in the process at a very tender age. He became a victim of another person's action and was ostracised to the land of nothing (Lo Debar). This is so pathetic!  

There are many people like that Mephibosheth's nurse all around us today. I hope you are not one of them. Through their actions, many precious souls have been destroyed or paralysed spiritually, maritally, financially and emotionally in the race of destiny. They walk about with deadly ammunitions of indecent dressing and shameless lifestyles. They fire arrows of lust and ungodliness into the atmosphere and heart of careless souls. They practically dress to kill their victims. They have become a terrible stumbling block turning people over to the path of damnation and hell. 

Are you like Mephibosheth's nurse? Have you ever considered the terrible implications of making someone fall or turn away from God (Matthew 18:6‭-7)?. Please cry to God for mercy today and make your ways right with Him before it will be too late. 

“If anyone should cause one of these little ones to lose his faith in me, it would be better for that person to have a large millstone tied round his neck and be drowned in the deep sea. How terrible for the world that there are things that make people lose their faith! Such things will always happen — but how terrible for the one who causes them!" -Matthew 18:6‭-‬7 (GNB)

Friends, is your story similar to that of Mephibosheth? Have you lost your place in the race of life because of someone's error or action? Don't give up on your dream and God's plans for your life. Please keep trusting God for the restoration of everything you have lost. I perceived your season of favour and complete restoration has finally come.  Like Mephibosheth, God will restore not only what you have lost but what your parents had lost in the time past. I see the strong and mighty arm of the Lord orchestrating great things in your home this month. I see the King of kings sending emissaries to fetch you out of your Lodebar before this month is over. Your invitation to sit at the king's table is on the way. 

This powerful song titled "Mephibosheth, Put Your Fears To Rest" summarises how the Almighty God restored Mephibosheth back to his place in destiny. Could you please prayerfully sing this song with me and trust God to stir up the heart of kings to urgently send emissaries to fetch you out of your Lodebar before this month is over. 

MEPHIBOSHETH, PUT YOUR FEARS TO REST

In a place called Lodebar lived a young man who was crippled from a fall

His name was Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul

He was trying to survive since Jonathan and Saul were slain

It seemed all hope was in vain

And each lonely night was spent in fear of what another day would bring

Chorus:

        Mephibosheth, forever put your fears to rest

        Come and be my table guest

        To you I'll be a father and my son you'll always be

        Mephibosheth, please accept the invitation

        I've made all the preparation

        Mephibosheth cried, Oh how can this be?

        That a king could ever love someone like me

But one day King David said, There is one thing I'd like to do

Is there one of the house of Saul? Someone I can show my kindness to?

Someone said, Down in Lodebar there lives the son of Jonathan

Mephibosheth, the crippled one

David said, Go and find him and bring him this message from the king

Living in Lodebar where there's not comfort for a troubled soul

Just a place full of broken hearts, never knowing what the future holds

But now that I've met the King there's nothing like His love for me

Now I'm part of the Family

Since someone came and knocked upon my door

With this Message from the King

I rejoice when I recall the day I watched those bridges burn

When I said goodbye to Lodebar never to return

It is my prayer that every soul locked up in Lodebar of sin and judgement shall be relocated to their palace and stand before the king soon in Jesus name. Many Mephibosheth and their nurses will say goodbye to Lodebar, burn the bridge behind them, never to return to their vomit again in Jesus name. As the Lord lives, your invitation to sit at the 

King's table shall be dispatched and delivered speedily in Jesus name, Amen. 

Good day and God bless you.  

Maranatha!
