Topic: GOD TURNS SCRAPS INTO STARS! HOLD ON!
Basic Scripture: 1 SAMUEL 22:1-13; “David left Gath and escaped to the cave of Adullam. When his brothers and his father’s household heard about it, they went down to him there. 2 All those who were in distress or in debt or discontented gathered around him, and he became their commander. About four hundred men were with him.
3 From there David went to Mizpah in Moab and said to the king of Moab, “Would you let my father and mother come and stay with you until I learn what God will do for me?” 4 So he left them with the king of Moab, and they stayed with him as long as David was in the stronghold.
5 But the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not stay in the stronghold. Go into the land of Judah.” So David left and went to the forest of Hereth.
6 Now Saul heard that David and his men had been discovered. And Saul was seated, spear in hand, under the tamarisk tree on the hill at Gibeah, with all his officials standing at his side. 7 He said to them, “Listen, men of Benjamin! Will the son of Jesse give all of you fields and vineyards? Will he make all of you commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds? 8 Is that why you have all conspired against me? No one tells me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse. None of you is concerned about me or tells me that my son has incited my servant to lie in wait for me, as he does today.” ***Our Daily Manna Devotional (ODM) Tuesday 24 January, 2023.
9 But Doeg the Edomite, who was standing with Saul’s officials, said, “I saw the son of Jesse come to Ahimelek son of Ahitub at Nob. 10 Ahimelek inquired of the Lord for him; he also gave him provisions and the sword of Goliath the Philistine.”
11 Then the king sent for the priest Ahimelek son of Ahitub and all the men of his family, who were the priests at Nob, and they all came to the king. 12 Saul said, “Listen now, son of Ahitub.”
“Yes, my lord,” he answered.
13 Saul said to him, “Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, giving him bread and a sword and inquiring of God for him, so that he has rebelled against me and lies in wait for me, as he does today?”

How _can God use a bunch of dropouls (scraps), rejected by their communities and turn them into David’s mighty men? (Vs. 2 of today’s scripture). That’s God for you. He took a murderer called Moses, who was a wanted man (fugitive scrap), and made him a mighty prophet. He chose Jephthah, an illegitimate son without an inheritance (special scrap), and turned him into a mighty man to deliver a whole nation.
He chose a man called Jacob who could best be described, as a “special area boy1‘ and “consultant liar” and turned him to be the grandfather of the promised Messiah. God will turn you into a tourist attraction in this year 2023! Don’t give up on your stubborn kids, delayed prayer answers, business delay, career battles, ministry stagnation, school discouragement, or spouse etc as scraps. God can turn the scraps into stars!
Do you know that scrap vehicle tyres arc being turned into valuable oils? Yes! Dr Paul Williams in the Department of Fuel and Energy at the University of Leeds, Northern England has improved on a basic and largely ignored technique called “PYROLYSIS” to turn tyres into a mixture of valuable chemicals, oils, gases, carbon and steel cords. Tyres break down in this way when they are heated without oxygen.
Scrap papers are recycled and turned to toilet rolls. Crude gases are now being turned into liquefied natural gases. If men can turn waste to wealth, can’t God do more? Ah! God too can turn any scrap into a star! Don’t look down on yourself! Don’t compare yourself to others! Also, in this year 2023, slop looking down on others! Never give up on ANYBODY! ***Our Daily Manna Devotional (ODM) Tuesday 24 January, 2023.
Don’t give up on friends, pastors, family, etc. LOOK FOR THOSE BEINGGOSS1PED ABOUT OR OPPRESSED and be an encouragement to them! The best is yet to come for you and for them. As you go out today, consider David’s mighty men. They were society scraps, dropouts, divorcees, murderers, ex-convicts, robbers, abortion specialists, failures, debtors, etc.
Close with this: If men can turn waste to wealth, can’t God do more? Indeed, He can and will do more! God can turn the scraps into stars! NEVER QUIT BECAUSE YOU ARE VERY GREAT! Hold on and hold out! This is your year!
