ALWAYS
ENQUIRE
To enquire is to have a wish or desire to know
something. It is to inquire about something. At a point in one’s life, there
will always be a time to enquire. Many enquire not from GOD, they get enquiry
from other means. It is better and best to enquire from GOD, because GOD never
fails. He is not a man that lies or the son of man that repents from what he
says. Enquiring from GOD is always perfect and will save us a lot. GOD knows all;
He is the Ancient of Days, Omnipotent and no searching of his understanding.
The Gibeonites deceived the children of Israel, because they enquired not from
GOD. Joshua 9 vs. 14: And the men took
of their victuals and asked not counsel at the mouth of the LORD. It is
always good to ask and enquire from GOD. Enquiring from GOD is you telling HIM,
you are acknowledging HIM as your GOD and not leaning on your own
understanding. Saul enquired not of the LORD, he asked his counsel from one
that had a familiar spirit. He was slewed and his kingdom was turned unto David
the son of Jesse. 1 Chronicles 10 vs.
13-14: So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the LORD,
even against the word of the LORD, which he kept not, and also for asking
counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it; And enquired not
of the LORD; therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son
of Jesse.
David’s secret was always enquiring from GOD. He asked GOD in 1 Chronicles 14 vs. 10: And David enquired
of GOD, saying shall I go up against the Philistines? And wilt thou deliver
them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto him, GO UP; for I will deliver them
into thine hand. He enquired again in Vs.
14: Therefore David enquired again of GOD; and GOD said unto him, GO not up
after them; turn away from them and come upon them over against the mulberry
trees. He did the same when the Amalekites took their wives, sons and
daughters captives. 1 Samuel 30 vs. 8:
And David enquired at the LORD saying, shall I pursue after this troop? Shall I
overtake them? And he answered him, Pursue; for thou shalt surely overtake
them, and without fail recover all. To pursue, overtake and recover all we
have lost presently on in the past; let’s enquire from GOD. Let’s be like David, he said in Psalm 27 vs. 4: One thing have I desired of
the LORD, that will I seek after, that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all
the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquired in his
temple. It is well with us….
