BEHOLD, DAGON IS FALLEN!
BIBLE TEXT: 1 SAMUEL 5:1-5
KEY VERSE: "And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again" (1 Samuel 5:3).
God is great and no other god can be compared to Him. He is loving and merciful, but at the same time, He is awesome and should be respected and worshipped with honour and great respect.
Dagon was the idol of the Philistines, one of the main enemy nations who always fought with Israel, the chosen people of God. The Philistines with their god - Dagon, suffered shame and great calamity for putting the Ark of God in Dagon's house in Ashdod. They thought they could ridicule Israel and the Almighty God whom they serve.
The Ark of God represents the presence of God. No one can afford to mess up with God's word. It is dangerous to do so. Many people in Ashdod did not live to tell the story of the great destruction that befell them and their idol - Dagon. For friends of Jesus, just as God dealt with Dagon, so will He deal with anything that wants to harass you or oppose His will for your life.
What is that thing that represents Dagon in your life? Is it sickness, affliction of the devil, academic failure or bad habits? The good news is that you are the apple of God's eye, and anything that touches you is looking for trouble. Make sure you are serving God in truth and spirit. Do not replace God with anything in your heart, but walk in His ways and live for His glory. He will cause all the 'Dagons' in your life to fall flat.
PRAYER: O Lord, my God, I ask that You make all the Dagons in my life to fall in Jesus' Name.
