What is it that you desire? Enquire about it and check if it is God’s will concerning you, then act accordingly. He created us and sustains us. He knows what’s best for us. Psalm 68:19-20.

Abimelech’s uncontrollable zest for conquest led him to employ poor military strategy that led to his death. Could it also be that he was not a skilled warrior? May we not be blinded by a our desires to a point of self destruction. Judges 9:50-53 & 2 Samuel 11:21.

Concerning the fate of Abimelech, your guess is as good as mine. He governed Israel for 3 years and was then killed when a millstone was dropped on his head. This ruthless and power hungry man had his way but only for a short while. May we be careful to follow God’s will. Judges 9:22-57.

On 25th May 2021, I received this passion plea from my good friend, Pastor Robert Manley who is based in Witu, Lamu District. “My brother, I am yearning for your prayers! I have planted churches in Pandangua amongst the Boni/ Aweer community 21 Kilometers from Witu town; and Ormo community at Kilelenwani & Kipini another 21 kilometers from Witu Over the last 2 months, we have not been able to meet with these communities becasue of transport challenges. I now have to trust God to provide a means of transport for me – even if it is a motorbike!” If you’d like to contact the Pastor Manley directly or assist please feel free to: Call Pastor Manley on +254-720-179551 Call Silent Stones on +254-711-509055 Email Silent Stones on info@silentstones.org You may also donate towards this cause through our portal https://silentstones.org/donate

Abimelech was Gideon’s son he had with a lady from Canaan. He wanted to be king so badly, that he went to his mother’s people to rally support for a position that was reserved for those God appointed. To ensure he had no competition, he killed 69 of his step brothers! Only Jotham managed to flee. May we not be so consumed by our agenda that we totally ignore God. Judges 9:1-21.

What is it that you desire so much? What lengths would you go to to acquire it? Is it in God’s will for your life? Please read Judges 9:1-21.

The people of Nineveh had been so wicked, that Jonah fled rather than confront them with God’s message. Yet, when they heard Jonah, they obeyed immediately. We are sometimes so fearful for no reason, yet the Lord has prepared everything for us and only needs our obedience. May we trust Him. Jonah 3:1-10.

Did Jonah opt to be thrown overboard due to his concern for the crew or was he still keen on avoiding God’s assignment? Bottom line is that he called on God and He was merciful enough to rescue him and also spare the ship’s crew. He hears when we call to Him. Jonah 2:1-10.

In Jonah 1:13-16, the men pitied Jonah and decided to keep him on board. Things got worse. They then cried out to God and asked for mercy. They realised only He could help them.
