Adullam Cave

David therefore departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. And when his brothers and all his father's house heard it, they went down there to him. And everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him. So he became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him. - 1 Samuel 22:1-2

There come a time in David's life where he was downcasted, depressed and demoralised. King Saul wants to kill him. He has been running and hiding for a while. In the midst of this all, he escaped to a cave known as Adullam. David entered into the Adullam Cave as a hopeless man but on coming out of the cave. He was no longer hopeless. David entered into Adullam Cave as a weak man but he came our as a strong man. 

So what's so special about Adullam Cave that made David a Mighty Man?

Adullam was cave of recovery, strength, replenishment, rest and preparation for David. While at Adullam Cave, other depressed and hopeless people came to join David and from there the journey of their break-through begins. David found himself in The midst of people needing his leadership (He has already been anointed as a King).

David emerge a leader from Adullam. Each and every one of us have to find our Adullam Cave in times of distress. Adullam is our spiritual gas station where we fuel and re-fuel our life car the journey ahead. Adullam is the place of discovery and recovery. It's a place not just to hide but to find your gift and express it. Adullam is a place of help. There are many Caves we could run to but Adullam is the cave of freedom. The greatest Adullam Cave we could run to is Jesus. He said all weak and heavily laden people should come to Him and He will give them rest. 

In Jesus, we find the best place to recover, to strengthen and to move on. When a man haven't find his Adullam Cave, he keeps wandering through life trying to figure it out but all to no avail.

There is another Adullam Cave which is the body of Christ (The Church). The Church is a place for all kinds of imperfect people who can be taught and guide into living their God-given life. The Church is a place of network. You find someone who can help you and someone who you can help. That is what the church is for.

Adullam Cave is a place of Support for you and I.

I pray we will emerge a Mighty person.

Good Morning and a beautiful weekend to you.

Made a Way: The Story Behind The Song

Made a way is a song written and sang by award winning artist Travis Greene in the year 2015. Many people knows the song but few actually know the story behind the song. The song was actually borne out of a personal testimony of Travis Greene. According to the artist, 'Made a Way' was written during an impossible situation. His pregnant wife’s water broke at 21 weeks, when pregnancy normally takes between 37-42 weeks. The doctors said the possibility of the baby’s survival is slim to none, and it was during this period when his wife was on bed rest for two months that he wrote the song. There was nothing else for them to hold on to but faith, and the good news is that as slim as the chance was, it didn’t break because faith held it together and today their baby boy is alive.  When Jesus was on His way to heal Jairus’s daughter and news came that things had gone from bad to worse, that the girl was dead. Jesus overheard and said, "Don't be upset. Just trust me...

Song: These Walls

You are good and do good;....  - Psalm 119:68  Few months back, I came across an inspiring song by Jason David who happens to be a pastor.  He was diagnosed with cancer. After a year-long fight with cancer that claimed much of his tongue, Pastor Jason David refuses to stop singing. "These Walls" is an original worship song he wrote that became his anthem as he fought through several surgeries, chemotherapy & radiation. For someone going through challenges; financial, health, marital, academic, whatever it may be, I pray this song will bless you - no matter what walls or mountains you may face, God is greater & God is good!  Below are the lyrics of the song: Verse: You are greater than these walls I'm circling  You are stronger than these army  I see You are bigger than these mountains that I faced And I will choose only to praise You.
