TOPIC: LESSON FROM KING SAUL AND DAVID: Beware Of Competition (3)
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 18:9.
“9. And Saul eyed David from that day and forward.”
Thinking Point.
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.
