“14. And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.”

“15. Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.”

Your behaviour is what describes you, and determines what you get from God and Men.

Everyone is easily described by their behavior, either good or bad. This behavior is a pointer to what you enjoy or lack, your behaviour speaks louder than your voice. There are two things that behavior attracts to you which is what we are discussing this morning, 

“1. Your behaviour either attracts or repels God’s presence. The scripture said of David, “And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; AND THE LORD WAS WITH HIM.” Your behavior either attracts or repels God’s presence around you. David’s behavior attracted God’s presence even in the mist of enmity with the king. When you have a good behavior the Lord will always be with you. Joseph’s behaviour made the presence of the Lord be with him even in Portiphar’s house, Genesis 39. Can your behaviour attract God’s presence in your home and life?

“2. Your behaviour threatens your enemies, they become fearful of you despite being your enemy. The scripture said of Saul, “WHEREFORE WHEN SAUL SAW THAT HE BEHAVED HIMSELF VERY WISELY, HE WAS AFRAID OF HIM.”

Your behaviour will make men run from harming you. Before they act they know they are a failure for attacking you. How well do you behave? Can your behaviour threatened your enemy and draw God’s presence to you? Can I say this as I round up this morning, “what you are going through presently might be as a result of your behaviour”. Work on your behaviour for God to speak for you.

Good Day and God bless you.

“14. And David behaved himself wisely in all his ways; and the LORD was with him.”

“15. Wherefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself very wisely, he was afraid of him.”

“16. But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.”

“When you’re excited for other’s breakthrough and success, you tend to be celebrated too”.

In our last study, we discuss about jealousy being the root of all evil. The alternative route to escape jealousy is to be happy and excited with other’s success. When you celebrate with others it’s a way of magnetising celebration to one’s self. Many troubles in life would have been avoided if we are happy for other’s achievement. Source of every enmity is being sad for other’s joy, envying others breakthrough and achievement, this was the beginning of Saul’s problem with David, but reverse was the case with Jonathan, King Saul’s son. He was happy with every achievement of David, he made him he’s best friend, gave him all his royal apparel as a sign of his friendship and this made him a free man everywhere he goes. The victory of David brought joy to all Israel and Judah while the king wasn’t happy for David.

How do you feel with other’s achievement? How do you react when others achieve a new height, are you happy or sad? When we seems bitter for other’s accomplishment we tend to reject great things coming around us. Celebrate others, their achievement doesn’t affect yours, yours will also become a reality if you will put more efforts and be glad for others. King Saul should have looked away from what the women were singing and focus on celebrating and rewarding David for taking the shame away from Israel. Don’t put yourself in the web of bitterness for other’s accomplishments, try to celebrate others and it will be your turn to be celebrated.

Good Day and God bless you.

“10. And it came to pass on the morrow, that the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophesied in the midst of the house: and David played with his hand, as at other times: and there was a javelin in Saul’s hand.”

“11. And Saul cast the javelin; for he said, I will smite David even to the wall with it. And David avoided out of his presence twice.”

When Jealousy is not controlled, taming your actions will be difficult. Uncontrolled jealousy is uncontrolled wickedness.

The most dangerous people to be around with are jealous people, especially when you never know they are jealous of you. Nothing pleases them about you, all your effort to make them happy leads to more envy and negative thoughts. David had put behind him his victory over Goliath, he’s back to his assignment to cast out evil spirit from Saul but the evil spirit in Saul has graduated to jealousy, so sighting David increases King Saul’s wicked act, I pray for someone today, God will rescue you from the spirit of jealousy, neither shall we be a victim of jealousy in Jesus name, Amen. The only way to escape the spirit of jealousy is through the Spirit of God. David would have been dead if he lacks this spirit in him. King Saul, a warrior, who has won battles in time past, targeted David twice at close range with a javelin and he missed it, It was God not smartness.

Wherever we are this morning, I’ll like to ask you, does it worth it? That jealousy towards your brother like Cain did to Abel, Genesis chapter 4, like Absalom towards Amnon, 1st Samuel 13, how did it end? It always end with wickedness. Saul never ended well because of his jealousy towards David. Jealousy in marriage destroys homes, jealousy in ministry takes one out of God’s presence. Jealousy in places of work has sent many to early grave depriving them joy in their homes, but come to think of it, no matter how long we stay on earth we will also die, why killing others for what’s not yours? When Jealousy is not controlled, taming your actions will be difficult. Uncontrolled jealousy is uncontrolled wickedness, it’s time to let go and let God take it’s place in your life. Forgiveness is the key out of jealousy, make use of it and let God heal your wound.

Good Day and God bless you.

“9. And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.”

You may end up fighting against God while fighting men. Pick your battles wisely.

In the earlier chapter, Prophet Samuel anointed David as a replacement of King Saul unknowingly to Saul. This anointing qualifies David as untouchable to anyone. This was also the reason for his victory over Goliath but this was not known to King Saul. Now, Saul chose that same David as his enemy, is that not deadly? No man can prevail against God’s anointed which is the reason David never took advantage to Kill King Saul when he found the opportunity.

Many times we fail and are defeated because we are fighting against God and until we realize and turn back it may not end well. When God calls someone, it signifies”He is Anointed” , “The Untouchable” meaning God is their vigilante, no harm reaches them. When you choose to fight such persons you are opposing God. Speaking and fighting against God’s anointed, is a deadly fight. Saul fought against David until God ended his life. May we not oppose God knowingly and unknowingly in Jesus Mighty Name. Many David are around us today, we need to desist from opposing them in order not to oppose God.

Good Day and God bless you.

You don’t succeed by competing, you succeed by focusing on your assignment.

Life and age differs. Seasons and purpose may look alike but they aren’t the same for every one. No matter who is under your tutelage, he can’t run your vision or your dream, they can only function according to their assignment, so you don’t need to compete or compel them to run your vision. Your season isn’t the same with that person you’re competing with. You may start earlier than him/her but he will still meet up with what God has assigned him/her, stop trying to be the person you’re not called to be.

King Saul was carried away thinking the throne belong to his family. He began to compete with a seventeen year old boy. He left his throne in search for David in cages, wilderness, even in the boarder of the Philistia, but at the end, David’s season came and he took the same throne he was protecting for his son. Yes, being in the same line of business is not a reason to compete, just keep doing more than what you’ve been doing in time past. You don’t need to bring others down so you can rise, if you do, some day you may still be down and someone else’s risen up because your season will expire. To compete is, believing someone is better than you which is not right, that person just discovered something about himself that you’re yet to discover about yourself, so you need to think better by focusing on yourself not the other person. Just like competing that you will stop someone from entering God’s Kingdom, it’s not up to you to decide, likewise it’s not up to you to call yourself the winner against your competitors. Be good in what you’re called to do and success will be yours.

Good Day and God bless you.

“7. And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.”

The words from our mouth either have a positive or negative impact on us and others, always think before you speak.

The lifting and downfall we experience most times are results of the words of mouth. Discouraging or encouraging others is also a product of the mouth, how do we speak and what do we say often, does our words hurt or heals others? Do we destroy or build our lives with our words? We need to use our words to build, instill courage and impact others and ourselves. When we are joyful do we watch what we say? When we are going through tough times, do we constructively use our words?

The women’s words penetrated the heart of King Saul which prompted negative thought and action in him. Relegating a Sitting King to the back because of a seventeen year old boy’s victory isn’t right. Those words, because of over joy, brought enmity between the King and David. When we are expressing joy we need to control our emotions and words in order not injure others. That song then, led to lost of many lives in Israel between the men of David and supporters of King Saul. Although, the word wasn’t targeted at anyone but we need to taste our words before spilling them. King Saul saw it as an embarrassment to him and sought ways to kill David. Watch your words to others and towards yourself. What you are saying, will it damage or build others? Think before speaking.

Good Day and God bless you.

“7. And the women answered one another as they played, and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.”

“8. And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?”

People’s words about you are their opinion, what you do with it, is your choice.

Welcome to this new week and Happy 1st Sunday of the Month. All things shall be possible for you this month. This week we are taking our study further to ‘Lessons from King Saul and David’. We all know how David became a part of King Saul’s Soldier by defeating Goliath. After the victory the women sang the praise of David saying, “Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands” this triggered a thought in the heart of King Saul and he said, “They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom?” 

Brethren, what others think and say about you is their fact not the truth of who you are. Many times their words is to wake you up to your responsibilities not to get the bad side of you. It’s your decision to act or react on every words directed towards you. Saul couldn’t make the right choice after those words, he took it personal and reasoned beyond the saying of men, “and what can he have more but the kingdom?”.

As leaders, we should know that stones will be thrown at us severally at different times, so we should be able to listen and think rightly, better still, we turn to God who assigned us the assignment. King Saul got it all wrong by reacting to the saying of the women. People’s words is their opinion about you, what you do with what they say is your choice. Make a choice you can defend.

Good Day and God bless you.

“13. So Boaz took Ruth, and she was his wife: and when he went in unto her, the LORD gave her conception, and she bare a son.”

“14. And the women said unto Naomi, Blessed be the LORD, which hath not left thee this day without a kinsman, that his name may be famous in Israel.”

“15. And he shall be unto thee a restorer of thy life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is better to thee than seven sons, hath born him.”

“16. And Naomi took the child, and laid it in her bosom, and became nurse unto it.”

I see God restoring your Joy, changing your situation and giving you everlasting testimonies in Jesus Mighty Name, Amen.

I welcome you to the last episode of the study, “Lessons From Naomi and Ruth”. It’s been a wonderful study and i know that God has ministered to us during these series, may His name be praise in Jesus name, Amen. 

Finally, the God of restoration rewarded Naomi by giving Ruth a home and a child. A hopeless situation turned to a generational blessing. Her determination to follow Naomi wasn’t in vain, this is to show that God rewards commitment and sacrifice. Ruth, who was unable to bear children in Moab became a mother in Bethlehem, her mother in-law became a grand mother of Obed. 

Brethren, nothing is impossible for God if we will pay the price and be determined to face every situation before us. There’s Joy in waiting on God, risking things and sacrificing for others.

The God that brought back the hope of Naomi will restore your hope. Ruth was as good as a maid when she followed Naomi but God gave her a home with Boaz and blessed her with Obed, that same God will visit your tattered situations and cause you to smile in Jesus name, Amen. Pay the price. Make the sacrifice. Take the risk and God will crown your effort.

Good Day and God bless you.

“1. Then Naomi her mother in law said unto her, My daughter, shall I not seek rest for thee, that it may be well with thee?”

“2. And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whose maidens thou wast? Behold, he winnoweth barley to night in the threshing floor.”

“3. Wash thyself therefore, and anoint thee, and put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the floor: but make not thyself known unto the man, until he shall have done eating and drinking.”

Everyone desires to be rewarded for their sacrifice of love not to be enslaved. 

How selfless are you in giving freedom to your servants? How far can you go to be kind enough to those who served you wholeheartedly? Ruth, a good and kind hearted daughter in-law, brought home what she had gleaned. Naomi was happy when she got to know Ruth worked in Boaz farm. She felt it’s time to allowed her have a home and gave her instructions on how to present herself to Boaz as a good wife to be. Most times, we refuse to release our good, faithful and useful servants or helpers. We find it difficult to let them have access to opportunities in order to keep them enslaved, that wasn’t the case with Naomi. She made sure she instructed Ruth and succeeded in making her a wife to Boaz. 

If you are not freed from where you served, you can’t be a leader. Even if you were enslaved you don’t need to do the same to others, do what is right, give people opportunities to be on their own. Show them how to fish and stop giving them fish, it will always add honour to your life like Naomi did. Naomi was willing to let Ruth have her home despite being the only helper she has, you can do the same by rewarding them awesomely.

Good Day and God bless you.

“14. And Boaz said unto her, At mealtime come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morsel in the vinegar. And she sat beside the reapers: and he reached her parched corn, and she did eat, and was sufficed, and left.”

“15. And when she was risen up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and reproach her not:”

“16. And let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her, and leave them, that she may glean them, and rebuke her not.”

“Your new season is attached to your consistent attitude and habit.”

Brethren, the change we need and long for is attached to our consistent habit and attitude towards strangers and others that comes our way. Let me start with this, Abraham’s consistent attitude and habit was what activated the birth of Isaac, Genesis 18. His attitude of hospitality prompted him to invite the three strangers into his home and fed them not knowing it was his final test to activate Isaac. The shunamite woman’s consistent attitude was what played out when she invited Prophet Elisha to have a meal with her household consistently and also built him a place to relax whenever he passes by, 2nd Kings 4:8-37. Our consistent habit is the link between our now and the change to come our ways. Acts 5:1-10 talked about the story of Ananias and Sapphira, their consistent habit of untruthfulness played out publicly which led to their death. 

Here, we saw how Ruth showed her consistent habit of appreciation to the favour bestowed on her by Boaz not knowing it was the begining of the change they’ve been waiting for. Having shown her attitude of gratitude, Boaz extended favour to her to dine with him, an access to enjoy more harvest. What’s your consistent habit; nagging, fighting, cheating, helping, hospitality, looking down on others? It’s the link between you and where you desire to be. Do away with those habit that can hinder you from enjoying the good plans of God for your life. Seasons are attached to our consistent habit.

Good Day and God bless you.
