In 2nd Kings 5:20-27
We see the story of Gehazi and how he got Leprosy for his actions even when he thought he was taking the right action in the eyes of God.
In 1st Samuel 22, David was locked down in the cave of Adullam with some men that were considered riff raffs, and when they came out, they became mighty men of valor
In 1st Samuel 16, we see the story of David in the bush and how Samuel came to anoint him in his father’s house.
David was in the bush but his destiny helper was already in the house.
God has a purpose for every man’s life and sometimes for that purpose to be fulfilled, he might need to lock you down, or bring you down from the proud place, sometimes also he needs to send helpers to you.
A lot of people carry the opinion that you don’t need to pay any price. They might be right because many people run the race but only one person emerge the winner.
Your preparation is what determines where and how you will end up. You pay the price to be the best and you don’t just strive to be the best, but the very best.
Daniel was among the top three, but the king made him the very best. It is important for you to know that Daniel already paid the price for this in the place of prayer.
Prayer points 1. Lord, if I’m going in the wrong direction, let your light arrest me. 2. Lord, send your light, if I’m riding the horse of pride, bring me down. 3. Lord, send your light, let me hear your voice. 4. God, please send your light and change my vision, change my focus.
Prayer points 5. Lord, send your light and lock me down if you consider it necessary. 6. Father, at this very moment, send destiny helpers to me. 7. God, whatever your purpose for my life is, please fulfill it. 8. God, give me the grace to pay the price.
