WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING THE NEXT GENERATION? PART 4: WHAT ARE YOU PRODUCING? Galatians 5:22–23 (NLT) “But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!” In Part 1, we asked: WHAT ARE YOU FEEDING YOURSELF? We learned that what we consume matters because what we feed can grow. In Part 2, we asked: WHAT HAPPENS INSIDE YOU? We learned that what enters us must be processed. Hearing the Word is not enough. The Word must enter our hearts and transform our lives. In Part 3, we asked: WHAT IS FLOWING OUT OF YOU? We learned that what is happening inside us will eventually find expression through our words, attitudes, decisions and actions. Now we come to another important question: WHAT ARE YOU PRODUCING? Because something is always being produced by our lives. The question is not whether your life is producing something. The question is: WH...

FROM LODEBAR TO THE KING’S TABLE PART 4 — DAVID’S QUESTION: DIVINE REMEMBRANCE

FROM LODEBAR TO THE KING’S TABLE
PART 4 — DAVID’S QUESTION: DIVINE REMEMBRANCE


2 Samuel 9:1–3

And the king said, Is there not yet any of the house of Saul, that I may shew the kindness of God unto him? And Ziba said unto the king, Jonathan hath yet a son, which is lame on his feet.


In our last session, we saw that Lodebar is a place of preservation:

Hidden seasons are not wasted. They protect, prepare, and train you for future elevation. God preserves His children even when the world forgets them.

Today, we focus on divine remembrance — how God actively remembers and positions those who seem forgotten.


Being forgotten by people can feel like the end. Yet God’s remembrance is active, intentional, and life-changing.

David’s question, “Is there anyone left of the house of Saul to show kindness to?”, shows that God notices those whom the world overlooks.

Your life matters — even if no one else remembers.

🛡️ 1. Spiritually — God Remembers You

Divine remembrance is not passive; it is deliberate. David sought to honor Jonathan’s family; similarly, God remembers you for His purposes.

🔑 Truth: God’s remembrance can open doors that human memory cannot.


💔 2. Emotionally — Hope In Being Remembered

Emotional scars from being forgotten can be heavy. Knowing God restores confidence, hope, and courage.

🔑 Truth: Even when people ignore you, God never does.


🪙 3. Physically / Practically — God’s Remembrance Leads To Opportunity

Mephibosheth was physically limited, yet David’s remembrance positioned him for restoration.

Practical insight: Divine remembrance often translates into opportunities and breakthroughs.

🔑 Truth: God sees beyond your limitations and opens doors aligned with His plan.


👥 4. Socially — Remembrance Restores Relationships

David’s remembrance bridged past relationships (Jonathan’s legacy) to Mephibosheth’s present.

Socially, God can restore honor, friendships, and influence through His memory of you.

🔑 Truth: Being remembered by God is more powerful than human approval.


🛑 Key Lesson Of Part 4

God’s remembrance is active, personal, and purposeful.

Even when life seems unfair or you feel invisible, God has not forgotten you — He is preparing your elevation.


🧠 Reflection Questions

When have you felt forgotten or overlooked?

How does knowing God remembers you change your perspective?

How can you trust God’s timing in bringing restoration?


🙏 Prayer

Lord, thank You for remembering me even when the world forgets. Let Your active remembrance guide me to my rightful place. Strengthen my faith to wait patiently and trust Your timing. Amen.


In Part 5, we will look at“Ziba: The Imperfect Bridge” —

how God can use even flawed people to connect you to your destiny.


Do you love this message?

Then don’t keep it to yourself.

Share it with someone who feels forgotten, overlooked, or stuck in a waiting season.

Let this word travel beyond you.

If it challenged how you see being remembered, let it change how you trust God in unseen seasons.

If it spoke to your hidden struggles, let it speak through you to others.

Be a witness—

carry hope from your hidden place toward the purpose God has for you.

WHEN FOLLOWING JESUS COSTS EVERYTHING PART 7: WHAT IS YOUR “ONE THING”?

WHEN FOLLOWING JESUS COSTS EVERYTHING PART 7: WHAT IS YOUR “ONE THING”? Luke 18:22 (NIV) When Jesus Christ heard this, he said to him, “You still lack one thing…” In Part 6, we encountered the rich young ruler—a man who was disciplined, moral, and sincere, yet walked away from Jesus Christ because of one thing he could not surrender. He was close to Jesus—but not surrendered to Him. Opening Thought 🌅 Sometimes, the greatest barrier between you and your next level in God is not many things—it is just one thing. Not obvious. Not loud. But deeply rooted. Key Phrase “ You still lack one thing …” Insight 🔍 This statement is both simple and profound. It means: You can be doing many things right… and still miss one thing. You can be progressing… and still be held back. You can be committed… and still be divided. The rich young ruler didn’t lack discipline. He lacked surrender in one area. And that one thing became everything. Deeper Application 🔥 Your “ one thing ” may not be money—but ...

THE GREAT WALL: WHEN WALLS FAIL PART 2 — THE ENEMY AT THE GATE: STRONG WALLS, WEAK WATCHMEN

Image
THE GREAT WALL: WHEN WALLS FAIL PART 2 — THE ENEMY AT THE GATE: STRONG WALLS, WEAK WATCHMEN In Part 1, we saw that walls do not fail because they are weak; they fail when the gates are compromised. Even the mighty Great Wall of China, built with stones, sweat, and sacrifice, could not stop an enemy when its gatekeepers failed. True strength lies not in the wall itself, but in the vigilance and integrity of those who guard it. Now in Part 2, we explore how weak watchmen at the gate can undo even the strongest defenses. Every wall has two sides: the builders who raise it and the watchmen who guard it. A wall can be tall, thick, ancient, and mighty…but if the hearts of its watchmen grow tired, distracted, or compromised, the enemy does not need strength — just an opportunity. The Great Wall teaches us this: Strength is useless without vigilance. Protection is fragile without attention. A boundary is only as safe as the person standing at the gate. Let’s journey deeper. THE STORY — Part 2 ...

🐦THE TAILORBIRD AND THE WISDOM OF STARTING SMALL PART 1: USING WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR HANDS

🐦THE TAILORBIRD AND THE WISDOM OF STARTING SMALL PART 1: USING WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR HANDS Exodus 4:2  “What is that in your hand?” Luke 16:10  “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much…” PERSONAL ENCOUNTER STORY Recently, I came across something that genuinely arrested my attention. I was scrolling through TikTok one evening when I saw a short clip about a small bird called the tailorbird. At first, I thought it was just another nature video—something interesting but ordinary. But as I kept watching, something unusual happened. This tiny bird was shown “ sewing ” leaves together to build its nest. At first, I doubted it. It looked almost staged. But curiosity pushed me further. I paused the video… watched it again… and then again. That moment didn’t just stay on TikTok—it followed me off the app. I found myself searching: “ Is this real? How does a bird sew leaves?” And that was the beginning of a deeper journey. The more I researched, the more I r...
