2 Sa 9:3-5 And the king said, \u201cIs no one of the house of Saul still left, that I may show the kindness of God to him?\u201d And Ziba said to the king, \u201cJonathan still has a son, who is lame in his feet\u201d. And the king said to him, \u201cWhere is he?\u201d And Ziba said to the king, \u201cSee, he is in the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, in Lodebar\u201d. Then King David sent men and had him brought from the house of Machir, the son of Ammiel, from Lodebar.<\/p>\n
When David took over Israel kingship after a series of tiffs from Saul, he decided to show favour to his long time friend , Jonathan . Luckily ,his disabled son Mephibosheth was found. After the ouster of his grandfather from kingship, Mephibosheth settled away from Jerusalem at a place called Lodebar . The village , away from the capital was forgotten and had nothing to brag of.But this didn’t deter David from sending servants to get him back to his once glorious past.<\/p>\n
Villages of neglect , forgetfulness , coupled with disabilities do trace us making “Lodebar” our only place to lodge and settle. We find ourselves away from what we once enjoyed and away from those who may show mercy or favour .But God will never allow a permanent deletion of our names from the wall of fame. Your set back is not going to be permanent .The heavenly courier services will locate you at “Lodebar” and have you restored to your rightful position.<\/p>\n
Isa 61:7- “Instead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours”.<\/p>\n
