KEY SCRIPTURE: 2 Sam 4:4 KJV And Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son that was lame of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his nurse took him up, and fled: and it came to pass, as she made haste to flee, that he fell, and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.

Please read 2 Sam 4:1-8

Throughout the scriptures, our Father God demonstrated that if His children would only trust in Him, He would fight all our enemies. Exo 14:14 KJV “The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.” I realise as I study the story of David that he personally never fought in any war with the house of Saul. David showed great trust in the Lord.

On two occasions, he had the opportunity to strike King Saul while he helplessly slept, but David never did anything untoward. He was not going to attack one that has been anointed, and he also believed that one he’s been anointed to reign, nothing Satan does would prevent that from coming to pass. In spite of all the opposition he faced, God kept fighting for him. All he had to do was to trust in the Lord. May you learn to trust God’s word concerning you, knowing that His name is upon you, and so long as you permit Him, that is to place your trust in Him, you will NEVER be disappointed (Rom 10:11)

From our key scripture, the son of Jonathan suffered lameness as a result of an accident when the news of King Saul and Jonathan’s death reached them. In that same passage, Ishbosheth, the son of King Saul, was murdered in cold blood by his two very trusted men. Before the death of Ishbosheth, Abner, the general of King Saul’s Army, was killed by Joab. God’s word to place David on the throne had to be fulfilled. This would have occurred without the death of the people of the house of Saul, yet because of the actions of King Saul trying to fight the will of God, his family, himself, and some members of the tribe of Benjamin had to die.

Do not try resisting the will of God. Do not do it in your own life. The consequences may be too grievous. Never fight anyone who is fulfilling the will of God. It is not that man you are fighting, but God himself. The consequences may extend to extended members of your family. Jer 32:18 KJV Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands, and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name.

What must you do? Focus on doing that, which pleases Him, and keep trusting him. He would fight all those who seek to frustrate His purpose in your life.

CONFESSION

I am never moved by what the enemy or any man does against me. My focus is doing that which pleases the Father, and continually trusting Him to fulfil His word in my life.
