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.

(PLEASE READ 2 SAM 3:15–39)

Abner, after a long period of resisting David from becoming king, finally decided to make peace with David. He contacted some of the elders of Israel to suggest that they accept David as King. From there, he met with David to finalise the whole program with him. After he had left, Joab came with his men back from a military expedition. The first report he heard from those who were present when Abner came to see King David was 2Sa 3:23 KJV “……Abner, the son of Ner, came to the king, and he hath sent him away, and he is gone in peace.” Just consider the words of these people. They told the truth but with an evil intention.

These people were simply mischievous. They knew Joab’s words about Abner concerning the death of Asahiel, his brother. This gave Joab a clue about Abner. The end of that story was that Abner, who had sought to create peace in Israel, was killed in cold blood. The hand of the men who reported Abner was actively involved in his murder.

Did anyone ask them any questions about Abner? They were simply playing the devil’s advocate. These were men with evil intentions. They simply wanted Abner to die, and they had their wishes done.

Beloved brother or sister, what kind of influence are you having on others?

Do you give sincere comments, or are your words laden with evil undercurrents? Some marriages have dissolved as a result of certain people with an evil eye.

 Truth is no truth if it is told with an evil wish. Dear one, never become an instrument for the misery of others, but rather seek to be an instrument for peace wherever you go. Please note that people who hate others hated themselves first. To love yourself is to accept God’s love for you, and so you can give love to others. If you are not able to love others, then you have not been able to accept God’s love for you. Free yourself from hatred for yourself by accepting God’s love for you, so you can truly love your neighbour as yourself.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for loving me so much. Thank you for coming to this realisation of your love for me. I likewise show love to all men.

KEY SCRIPTURE 2 Samuel 3:14” And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth Saul’s son, saying, deliver me my wife Michal, which I espoused to me for an hundred foreskins of the Philistines “

 In chapter 3, the Bible spoke about the six sons of David. Each one had his own mother. In the key scripture, David requests that Michal be taken from her present husband and given to him. When he requested Michal, he meant he was going for wife number seven. David loved lots of women. Can you believe that when Abner came to him to assist him in reigning over the whole of Israel, David said, he should put that aside and then bring Michal to him as. wife, before the issue of the throne, could be discussed. Because of a woman, this reign, which nearly cost his life, was to be on hold. This was an area the devil was going to use to attack him and his kingdom. From the accounts of scripture, it does not appear he realized the love for many women was a problem and could seriously affect him. Why did David never become aware of this shortcoming? We learnt from his life that David always enquired of the Lord before taking any major step. Marrying a woman or a man is a very major step, and he should have enquired from the Spirit of the Lord before embarking on such a thing. There was no account from the scriptures that he sought the face of God before embarking on this venture.

Dear child of God, is there any area of your life that the Lord has no control over? Has the light of God not permeated some aspect of your life? Satan will only capitalize on that dark area of your life to pull you down. Make sure the Lord has perfect control over every aspect of your life.

The scripture teaches that Satan is like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Satan cannot lay hands on everybody. He always seeks one who has bowed to his ways. They are the people he can devour. Those who are yielded to the Lord are outside his radar or sphere of influence. Satan is not so powerful. Whoever he manages to subdue has sadly permitted him to do so. This is a very hard truth, but that is exactly how it is. This is the reason the Holy Spirit says that, if you want to be free from Satan’s grip, you must first submit to God. This means refuse every agreement or yieldedness that you have given to Satan. Then and only then can you successfully resist the devil for him to flee. (James 4:7)

  PRAYER

I pray that all children of God would always surrender fully to the Lord. Always making him first, the enemy would never have an advantage over them.

In our key scripture, Abner, who had stood along with King Saul to pursue David, came to the elders of Israel, telling them what God had said about David. He acknowledged that God had said that, by the hands of David, He would deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines. He had known this all this while, yet they pursued David to kill him. Even after the death of King Saul, he kept resisting David from ascending the throne, but when God’s time was up, this same man came to the elders of Israel and explained to them that David should be made King. Dear brother or sister, do not give up on whatever God has said to you. Hab 2:3 KJV” For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” If God said it, then it would come to pass. The prophet Habakkuk says, thou it tarries, wait for it.

To wait means to keep trusting God’s word and doing everything in anticipation of the fulfilment of that promise. Heb 6:12 KJV “That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises.” The Lord described how certain people inherited the promise. He said these people received the promises through their faith and patience they inherited the promise. Dear one, the truth is that God never fails in doing His part of the matter. It is always our part to keep acting

CONFESSION

 God is faithful. He would never deny himself. He honours whatever he has promised. I will always do my part by trusting and obeying His word.

KEY SCRIPTURE: 2Sa 3:10 KJV “To translate the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan even to Beersheba”

The scriptures testified that the house of David and Saul had a long, unending war, although the house of Saul grew weaker and weaker, yet David’s house grew stronger and stronger. The main individual who stood between David and the ultimate throne over the whole of Israel was Abner, who was King Saul’s General.

It so happened that Ishbosheth, one of Saul’s sons accused Abner that he had gone into his father’s concubine.2Sa 3:7 KJV “And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and Ishbosheth said to Abner, wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father’s concubine?” Abner did not take kindly to this accusation. He got infuriated and instantly decided to break faith with the house of Saul to allow David to ascend the throne as king over the whole of Israel. Beloved reader, this turn of events was the doing of the Lord. God had finally stepped into the long delay of David’s ascension to the throne. He orchestrated the whole event, making Saul’s son accuse Abner, and thus the corresponding reaction from Abner

Dear reader, please bear in mind that David was anointed as King as a teenager.It took a period over a decade before the major hindrances were to be taken out of his way.Satan did everything possible to make sure this word spoken by God would not come to pass.Dear one the only thing that can hinder God’s word is unbelieve.Unbelieve may show its head as sin in the life of the individual or a refusal to mix God’s promises with faith.Heb 4:2 KJV “For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it”.So long as you believe in the promise of God and keep acting in obedience to His word.

David was certain about the promise of God.He never attempted to help God in bringing to pass this promise.Remember that he did not kill Saul when he had the opportunity.He even did not fight in the battle between the house of Saul.David believed God  and so was at rest.Heb 4:3 KJV” For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world”.Faith is always the action that allows God to step into our conditions.God has promised that Satan has risen to challenge  God’s word, but it is your faith  that would settle the issues in your favour.

KEY SCRIPTURE: 2Sa 3:7 KJV “And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and Ishbosheth said to Abner, Wherefore hast thou gone in unto my father’s concubine?

Concubinage is the act of cohabiting with a woman who is not your wife. This practice was very predominant under the old covenant. A number of the Patriarchs had concubines, and the scriptures never spoke against it. These days, many people, both Christians and non-Christians, argue that it is not wrong to keep a concubine. Surprisingly, this term is not mentioned even once in the New Testament. In spite of the fact that this is not mentioned in the New Testament, they claim it is right for us to practice it in this time, giving so many reasons. Some say the difference between the number of women to men is so huge that men should marry more women. Some also claim that since one woman cannot fully satisfy the sexual needs of a man, which can lead to prostate complications, it would be right for a man to have concubines.

People state these things because they do not understand the word of God as well as the power of God. During my write-up on polygamy, I explained that the bible is a progressive revelation of God’s dealings with men. I said that at the beginning of creation incest, that is a brother marrying his sister, was not an offence. At a point in time (Abraham and Sarah), the Lord told the Israelites that incest was a sin. Concubinage was a norm during the Old Testament era, yet in the New Testament, the scriptures have continually stated that a man should have one wife. Let’s see what the bible says about extramarital sexual activities. Heb 13:4 KJV: Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.” The Holy Spirit taught that marriage is honourable to all, and the marriage bed or the only place God has allowed for sex to be practiced in the marital home. He went further to say that God would judge whoremongers and adulterers. Who is a whoremonger? Those who have multiple sexual partners. Adulterers are those who sleep with anyone outside their marital home.

Now, to those who try to give all kinds of reasons for practising these things, they do not know of the power of God. Please note that a Christian is never an ordinary man. He is a supernatural man who does not have the ordinary limitations of men. John 3:8 KJV “The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.” The Christian is born of the Spirit, thus, he is supernatural. His life force is the very spirit of Jesus ( Gal 2:20). He has feelings like every man, but he is not controlled by the flesh and its appetites. Rom 8:10 KJV “And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.” This means the Christian is ruled by the Spirit of Christ and not his flesh. The unfortunate truth is that most Christians are living like mere men. They are simply carnal. Please refer to the following verses.

Mat 5:28 KJV But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

1Co 6:13 KJV” Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; an d the Lord for the body.

1Co 7:2 KJV” Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.”

1 Thess 4:3 KJV” For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:”

Fornication is simply any illicit sexual act. Dear Christian, concubinage is fornication, and there is no room to keep a concubine.

PRAYER:

Oh, Father, send a revival of truth among the church to forsake mundane practices, but to act rightly, that will bring glory to you, Lord.

KEY SCRIPTURE: 2 Sam 3:1 KJV Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.

Saul pursued David from the period that the women of Israel sang that Saul had killed his thousands, but David his ten thousand, until he met his death during their war with the Philistines. After his death, his tribesmen, that is the Benjamin’s, continued to fight the house of David, that is the tribe of Judah. I believe this was not just humans who did not want David to become king, but a demonic program behind their actions resisting David from mounting the throne to bring to pass God’s intended program. Remember that God said David was a man after his heart, who would do the Lord’s bidding (Acts 13:22). This means David did not just become the king immediately after King Saul died. The Bible said there was a long war between the house of Saul and that of David.

Satan has always raised his ugly head to challenge the purposes of God on the earth. Before the birth of Moses, King Pharaoh of Egypt was led by Satan to destroy the coming deliverer. They went about killing every male child of the Jews. In the mind of Satan, Moses, who was to be the deliverer, would be killed. This attack failed. Satan repeated this similar evil during the birth of Jesus in a replica of Moses’ case. In this time, too, Jesus escaped. The Bible said that although the battle between the house of Saul and David prolonged, the house of David waxed stronger and stronger while the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker. Satan would never win over the Lord. No matter how much the people being used by Satan resolve to fight on, they would lose because their master has already lost.

The bible describes the war as a prolonged one. Some battles in your life may prolong. This does not mean it would be forever, or the enemy would win. No, the enemy has been defeated, before men were created on the earth. The Lord Jesus established an eternal defeat of the devil. Heb 2:14 KJV “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;” Please no matter how long the fight may seem to go, hold your grounds and keep declaring your victory over the devil. Never admit that you are losing, no. The war in the first place is a spiritual one, between God and Satan, but Satan is already defeated. This makes you a winner, but you have got to hold your ground.

Now your victory plan is as follows

1 Never give up

2 Never admit you are losing

3 Keep declaring you are the winner

4 Keep thanking God for making you a winner

5. Maintain your prayer by resisting the enemy and asking God to give you the victory, which would be unbelievable.

CONFESSION

Please read the whole of 2 Samuel chapter 2

After the death of Saul, David decided to go back into Israel (Judah). He needed to get God’s approval before he went. He also needed to know the particular town in Judah to go to. He enquired of the Lord.. The Lord asked him to go to Hebron. Once again, David reveals to us the foundation of His successful life: that is an absolute dependence on the instructions of the Holy Spirit.

In Hebron, the men of Judah, that is the very tribe from which David hailed, came and anointed him king. The people of Judah told David that it was the people of Jabesh Gilead who buried Saul. This turn of events speaks volumes. Everyone knew that King Saul had been pursuing David to kill him, implying that, naturally, Saul should not be one man they would like, yet these people knew from David’s actions that he loved King Saul; and so they were bold to talk about those who had shown kindness to Saul. The brethren from Judah would have hated Saul, yet because David loved Saul, they likewise accepted him. Dear leader, your dispositions ultimately affect the general state of thinking of your members and the people who stay close to you. A leader who talks bad about other men of God would have his immediate associates doing likewise. They would always pick up on the way this leader goes about relating to others.

God our Father is ever ready to guide and tell us what to do. It is up to us to seek his counsel on every aspect of our lives. Many mistakes or losses could have been avoided if we had been diligent enough to seek divine guidance. The problem is that many of us are so confident in ourselves. A man of God was about to travel. He just entered his first car and attempted to start it, but it would not start. He turned to the next car, and that also failed to start. He abandoned the first two to use a third one, which also failed to start. As he contemplated what was happening, he fell into a sleep where the Lord spoke to him that there were highway robbers on the road robbing people of their new cars. If he had enquired earlier, he would not have gone through all those problems. God was just merciful with him. People were killed on that road that day by the robbers. Be wise and humble to daily seek the Lord’s guidance.

KEY SCRIPTURE: 2 Samuel 1:12. And they mourned, and wept, and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword.

When David heard about the death of King Saul and Jonathan, he rent his clothes, mourned, wept, and fasted till evening for Saul and Jonathan.

Please note Saul had pursued David out of the land of Israel and caused him to stay in the Land of the Philistines, yet he did not “pop champagne” but burst into tears and wept for him. The man who claimed he killed Saul, although that was not true, rather he was seeking for David’s commendation to him for killing his enemy, David said, “How were you not afraid to stretch forth your hand to destroy the Lord’s anointed? (2 Samuel 1:14)

He asked that this man must die for his utterances. Be careful about what you say. It could lead you to big trouble. Why could David not be taken over with anger and vengeance for Saul? Many people would have jubilated on hearing of Saul’s death. David did not relate to people according to who they were or what they did, but what God’s word said about them. David had a great reverence for God and what God approves. To h, m God had approved and anointed Saul to be king, and no one had any right to attack him.

I believe we must all apply this principle to do everything in this life. We must respond to people not according to what they do or who they are but what God’s word says we must do to them. He said, Do unto others as you want others to do unto you. He never said Do unto others as they do unto you. Many marriages would have been saved if they had worked with this principle. What we see in most homes is that couples play by tooth for tooth. This is the very thing the Lord asked us not to do. Wife, the Lord instructs you to be submissive to your own husband. Eph. 5:22

If your husband is not the loving man that you would like.  The Lord says submit to him. Your submission must only be in obedience to the Lord. If the wife does not respect her husband, the man must likewise love his wife irrespective of the fact that she does not respect him. That is God’s instruction. There can never be any marriage that would run into deep marital stress if couples live by this rule. David rendered to Saul what God would want him to do. Because David lived by this rule, the Lord made sure that David had a very successful reign.

He crowned his successor king in his lifetime before he died. Faithfulness to God pays.

KEY SCRIPTURE: Phi 3:18 KJV” (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)”

In our previous study, we listed a few signs that one may find in a man who is not genuinely pursuing the course of our Lord Jesus Christ. The danger of following such a man is that you may find yourself in the pit of hell.

Jonathan, a very good and selfless man, died in a battle he should not have died. His father’s ways were against God’s way, and so God was not with him. When God judged Saul, he could not leave Jonathan out. He had to die because his choice to join King Saul made him a partaker of the problems of King Saul.

We now explain the signs of men who are not genuine followers of the Lord Jesus. This time we explain further.

We said in our previous study that most false men of God claim they are the only genuine men of God, and that all others are false teachers. Any man who does that is playing the game of divide and rule. His view is that if he succeeds in painting other ministers black, he can then have the flock coming to him. His goal is his belly and not souls for heaven.

The next sign of false ministers is that they prepare certain substances, calling them miracle drinks or anointed materials to sell to the congregants. The goal of such men is to find some wise means to make a lot of money. They make huge amounts of money only to condemn pastors who take the tithe and offering.

Thirdly, such men do not teach sound doctrine.

Especially if it is quite frequent 2Tim 4:3 KJV For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; If one teaches that the contention between Cain and Abel was because of a woman. Such men have other books that teach such things.

4 The teachings of the New Testament are clear without any ambiguity that a minister should be a man of one wife. Some even have girlfriends alongside. 1 Tim 3:2,

Jesus is not the central focus of their teaching. They keep talking about how powerful and a better man of God they are. Our Lord Jesus is our all. We died with Him, for Him to take over our lives. He is the image and person every true man of God must project.

False teachers do not talk about evangelism. They have dabbled in other sources of power, and so they trust these powers to bring people into their midst. Soul winning never comes to the messages. Please check for this. They may ask you to invite people to church, but they would never teach about winning souls through sharing the gospel.

Jesus said you would know them by their fruits. One major trait is pride and arrogance. They would go to any length to curse, insult and even physically attack those who cross their ways. They would never leave matters to lie as Jesus did.

Any man of God who supports LGBTQ is a false man of God. The basis of this thing is that there is no God, and men should be allowed to do what pleases them. I am not talking about having mercy on them to seek their deliverance, but to accept that such a lifestyle is an alternative way to live. No, it is a rebellion against God, and an abomination.

Jesus said, freely you have received and freely give, yet certain men of God would charge money before seeing you to pray for you.

PRAYER

Lord Jesus, I pray for every man of God to be stirred by your mighty holy spirit, and help is to have the courage to forsake every wrong way, to live by your word.
