1 Samuel 11:1 “Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabeshgilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee.”
1 Samuel 11:2 “And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this [condition] will I make [a covenant] with you, that I may thrust out all your right eyes, and lay it [for] a reproach upon all Israel.”
…From yesterday…
You should have called Home! Inform them at Heaven, our Supreme Headquarters that somebody or some situation is challenging you to a fight. That problem does not deserve your tears at all. You must know what to do, instead of crying.
1 Samuel 11:5 “And, behold, Saul came after the herd out of the field; and Saul said, What [aileth] the people that they weep? And they told him the tidings of the men of Jabesh.”
1 Samuel 11:6 “And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he heard those tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.”
1 Samuel 11:7 “And he took a yoke of oxen, and hewed them in pieces, and sent [them] throughout all the coasts of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whosoever cometh not forth after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done unto his oxen. And the fear of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out with one consent.”
They kept weeping until the right man came along, his name was Saul. The bible says the Spirit of God came upon him. In those days, the Spirit of God came upon a man as occasion demanded. He did not reside permanently in man. But we have a better covenant, the Spirit of God doesn’t just come upon a believer, He resides permanently in him.
It’s however unfortunate to know that despite the indwelling Holy Spirit, we still take things for granted. We have challenges and chicken out from fighting.
Beloved, Bible sense must tell you that that a contrary situation is simply an invitation to a fight!
