Such A Time As This!
04/18/2022
God may have blessed you with a gift and the know how, to do something that He choose you to do, to advance His kingdom here on Earth. But don't get it twisted and think that you can do it when you choose to do it, whenever you feel like doing it, or how you decide to do it other than the way God told you to do it. Because God will choose someone else to get the job done. Plus, You'll be punished for disobeying the will of God.
The Book Of Saul
Saul Disobeys the Lord
(1 Samuel 15) CEV
which is a few books before the book of Esther. You'll see that God told Samuel the prophet to choose Saul as King of Isreal.
GOD told Saul to kill every Amalekite!
So Saul killed every Amalekite except King Agag. ... Saul and his army let Agag live, and they also spared the best sheep and cattle. They didn't want to destroy ...
He got greedy, and didn't obey God! But finally he killed king Agag. But he didn't do it when God told him to, and God was displeased with him for not obeying him.
(1 Samuel 15:33) CEV
33But Samuel said, “Agag, you have snatched children from their mothers' arms and killed them. Now your mother will be without children.” Then Samuel chopped Agag to pieces at the place of worship in Gilgal.
(1 Samuel 15: 10-11)
The Lord Rejects Saul
10 The Lord told Samuel, 11 “Saul has stopped obeying me, and I'm sorry that I made him king
(1Samuel 16) NIV
The Lord told Samuel to anoint David son of Jess.
(Vs 13) The spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David.
(Vs14) Now the spirit of the Lord had departed from Saul and an evil spirit from the Lord tormented him.
Saul Took His Own Life
(1 Samuel 31:4) NIV
He took his own sword and fell on it.
(2 Samuel 1) NIV
David Hears of Saul’s Death
1 After the death of Saul, David returned from striking down the Amalekites and stayed in Ziklag two days.
The Amalekites were the same people God told Saul to kill. But remember that Saul got greedy and did, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’
23 “From this man’s descendants God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as he promised.
In the New Testament The Lord Chooses David To Be King (Acts 13:22-23) NIV 22 After removing Saul, he made David their king. God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’ 23 “From this man’s descendants God has brought to Israel the Savior Jesus, as he promised. Another example of how God will use someone else to do a job that He's called you to do, if you decide not to do What he tells you to, is the book of Esther.
Another example of how God will use someone else to do a job that He's called you to do, if you decide not to do What he tells you to, is the book of Esther.
In the book of Esther.
Queen Esther is an orphan raised by her uncle Mordecai and is eventually married to King Ahasuerus. But she does not reveal her Jewish heritage to the king and learns of a plan to kill all Jews by the king's advisor, Haman.
Note:
Haman was a descendant of Agag, the king of the Amalekites.
(Esther 4:14) NIV
14 "For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to your royal position for such a time as this?”
