REMOVE SLANDERERS FROM THE HOUSE OF GOD

God bless you for taking the time to study.

REMOVE SLANDERERS FROM THE HOUSE OF GOD
TEXT: 2 Samuel 16:1-4 

SATURDAY MAY 27th 

Key Verse: Psalm 101:5 Whoso privily slandereth his neighbor, him will I cut off,
Slanderers do not carry the message of love but of resentment. They are destroyers and not builders. Their aim is self-promotion and self-protection. When Ziba came to David in the wilderness as he fled from Absalom, to get David’s favour, he came with a slander against Mephibosheth. King David asked him of Mephibosheth his master, he said Mephibosheth was busy preparing himself in Jerusalem to be king saying, “Now the Lord shall restore to me the kingdom of my father that was snatched away from the hand of Saul.” David wondered why a lame man he has shown mercy should act this way knowing he saved him from death because of the covenant he made with Jonathan his father. With all he has done for Mephibosheth, why should he seek his hurt? He gave Ziba the vineyard he once restored to Mephibosheth. See what a slander can do! You can understand why David vouched to cut off slanderers from his domain. 
When David returned to Jerusalem, Mephibosheth came to David looking unkempt from his head to his feet. David wondered if this was the man Ziba said was preparing to take over the kingdom. Mephibosheth’s defense showed Ziba his servant slandered him. “He that is a slanderer, I will cut off!” This is the resolution of a godly leader. Their aim is to destroy the throne with their tongue. If you depend on their evil report, you will oppress the innocent under your government. They look so true that if you are not careful, they may not require further investigation. Un-investigated actions on lies or slanders have made many people cry against their leaders to God for maltreatment on matters they are not aware of. That is why the Bible emphasizes that matters should only be established where there are two or three witnesses. The Bible says also that it is not according to the law of the Romans to condemn a man until he has the opportunity to speak face to face with his accusers, Acts 25:16.

Song for the day Satan shall never, never conquer me (3x) …

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
