Welcome to "Victorious Daily Devotion" in the wonderful and loving name of Jesus Christ! 🙋‍♀️💐💐💐Topic: Not All The Battles Are Worth Fighting - 2. Rich, Proud And Crude Nabal Provoked David To Fight With Him. Our obedience is never complete and over. I learnt something recently. Obedience is progressive. We may be great Preachers, Pastors, Evangelists, Missionaries, Church leaders, Youth Leaders, Sunday School Teachers, or Born Again children of God, we ought to remember, we all, let me emphasis, we all fumble and fall at some point of time or the other. And even now and then too. We ought to rise from such falls and not remain there. Sometimes when we err, we need to humble ourselves to listen to those who are lower than our Spiritual personality. We can learn ftom David, how he picked up a fight in flesh and emotions have controlled David over divine nature. The theme and the story which I share will continue for the next two days. My request, Pl listen to these devotions in continuation so that you can understand it better. I would request and like all the viewers to kindly read and meditate 1 Sam. 25th chapter which I share with you in brevity in the next 2 to 3 days. We see in verse 2. There was a man whose possessions were in Carmel. And verse says, nan was very great having three thousand sheep and a thousand goat. Verse 3 in ESV, it says, he was crude and mean in all things. His name was Nabal. As they were having a feast, David sends his young men and request a portion of their celebrations to give to them. As his men protected Nabal sheep many times from harm and danger. But, Nabal provoked David and his men in verse 10 saying, "Who is David? ... there may be many servants who break away from his master. He was provoking David as he was running away from his master and king, Saul.Please do not mistake me. Not ALL but many rich and wealthy people even in today's world who are blessed by God are selfish and possessive. Their hands and fists are always closed and they are never givers forgetting God blessed them. Like Nabal often times our wealth and riches take control of our life and words, conduct and behaviour. We must take heart, there are also few rich and wealthy who have a kind, humble, gentle heart and their words are always laced with grace, comforting and always helpful and givers liberally. Their hands and fist is ever open to bless others. In the next devotion we will see and hear what David did when he heard the words of Nabal and what happened to Nabal subsequently. Help us Lord to introspect always irrespective who we are, to be humble, kind, gracious in our words and to have our words of grace kindness unlike this wealthy Nabal who was rude and mean to David's men. ....If you are blessed with devotion you are welcome to share with us. God bless! 🙋🏻‍♂️💐💐💐Benedict James.Our contact for queries or any prayer request @91 97040 28977
