TOPIC: LESSON FROM KING SAUL AND DAVID: What People Say (1)
MEMORY VERSE:
James 1:19
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
BIBLE READING:
1 Samuel 18:7-8.
“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?”
Thinking Point
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.
