2 Samuel 6:
David was bringing the Ark of God back to Jerusalem when the oxen stumbled.
A man quickly held the Ark from falling and because of this God killed him (only
Priest should touch the Ark of God). David was afraid of God, so he kept
the Ark in someone else's house for 3 months. So David kept God's blessing
in another's domain. When David soon realized
that God was blessing the man, he ran to bring the Ark to his domain. David
rejoiced excessively before God for all the blessings he was given, but his
wife, daughter of Saul, said he danced shamelessly like a vulgar and it was
because of this she never had a child. When God ask you to do something,
do it no matter what. You do not have to wait for others to succeed
in it before you jump in. That is the spirit of procrastination.
Never mock someone who does a thing for God no matter how ridiculous it may
seem.
2 Samuel 7: King David lived in a house (his domain) but the Ark of God lived in a tent
(without a domain). The Ark
of God never stayed in a house or its domain since the time God brought the Israelites out of
Egypt and God never asked for a domain to be built for his Ark. God then
made a covenant with David that one of his descendants will build a domain for
God and the Ark. God promised David that he will establish the kingdom
with David's descendants
forever. David then went to the tent to spend time with God and asked that
his kingdom and domain be established forever. God does not mind blessing you for
nothing in return as long as you follow him. You may also wish or ask
God for
whatever. |

2 Samuel 8:
King David fought many wars and won. Many nations brought him tributes
of valuable metals, which he dedicated to God. He also established
military posts in many of the conquered lands that made them basically become his
servants. When you follow God, no matter the temporary setbacks, you will
always come out victorious, except you give up and forget God. Every and
any opposition will bring you tributes and valuables, but always give God thanks
for them.
2 Samuel 9:
King David never forgot what Jonathan, son of Saul, did for him during his
battles with King Saul, his father. So he went looking for anyone left in
Saul or Jonathan's house to show God's favor, and he found Mephibosheth (a
cripple). He gave Mephibosheth all that belonged to King Saul in terms of
land and servants, and recommended that he ate at the king's table.
God never forgets to show favor for appreciation; so must we. Cursed is
the person who exchanges evil for good or refuses to show appreciation because
of one's race, gender, tribe, or religion. |
