EUPHORIA Devotional (The spirit of joy, an ecstasy that comes from God) October 30, 2025 PARTAKERS OF GRACE REV. AROME E. TOKULA 1 Samuel 30:24 - For who will heed you in this matter? But as his PART is who goes down to the battle, so shall his PART be who stays by the supplies; THEY SHALL SHARE ALIKE. When it comes to the gospel of the kingdom, every believer ought to be praying, giving, and going because partnership is God’s system for propagating the Gospel and prospering His people here on earth. In 1 Samuel 30 the Bible tells us that David's camp was raided by the Amalekites and the people were discouraged because they had lost their children, wives, and properties, but David inquired of God on what next steps to take and God told him, “Pursue, for you shall surely OVERTAKE them and WITHOUT FAIL RECOVER ALL.”(1 Samuel 30:8) The wisdom of God for taking over and recovering all that is lost is partnership. David went to battle with 400 men while 200 stayed back to watch the home front. When David and 400 returned after God had given them victory, a quarrel erupted in the camp on how the recovered bounty should be shared between those went and those who stayed. David’s answer was that it didn’t matter. What was recovered from the Amalekites was shared ‘equally’ because they were all in partnership and 1 Samuel 30:25 says, “So it was, from that day forward; HE MADE IT A STATUTE and an ORDINANCE for Israel TO THIS DAY.” When you partner with an anointed ministry that preaches the Gospel, you share in the rewards that are accrued to that minister and the ministry for every soul that is won, healed, delivered, and restored. According to our text, you have a “part’ in every victory and testimony whether you went out there on the field or not. In the New Testament Paul also accentuated this principle of partnership! He told the church in Philippians 1:7, “Just as it is right for me to think this of YOU ALL, because I have you in my heart, since both in my chains and the DEFENSE and CONFIRMATION OF THE GOSPEL, you all are PARTAKERS with me of GRACE.” The Philippians were partners with Paul in the preaching of the Gospel through their giving and because of this they shared in the very grace (blessing and empowerment) of God upon His life and ministry. They were partaker (shareholders) of the grace of God! From Acts 16, we understand that these partners in Philippi consisted of prison wardens and businesspeople. Regardless of your profession, you can partner with the Gospel. It is to these people that Paul said, “And MY GOD shall SUPPLY ALL your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19) The confidence in Paul's voice attests to the power of partnership! Philippians 4:19 is not a prayer or confession the Philippians made; it is a “pronouncement” by Apostle Paul upon the Philippians because it is in partnership, we enjoy the mighty supply, recover whatever was lost, and take over places for the kingdom! DECLARE I am happy I’m a partner with the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. As I give my money and resources to the preaching and propagation of the Gospel, I declare that I am a partaker of the grace of God and there are no losses in my life. I am enjoying grace and favour in all that I do. I thrive where others struggle! I recover and take over all in Jesus' Name.
