Kingdom people

How do we respond in anger.

1 Samuel 8:9

 9 Now therefore, heed their voice. However, you shall solemnly forewarn them, and show them the behavior of the king who will reign over them.”

This is the first time , a Kingdom is setup in Israel, and a king was chosen to lead , but this man was chosen according to the wishes of the people.

And God told Samuel to heed their voice but told Samuel to give a forewarning Show the behavior of the king will reign over them.

Israel King behavior.

behavior of the king V 10- 18

But here Israel chose a man who does not have kingdom values, but always to be in the good books of the people.

Israel chose a king based on the reviews of other nations.

Exactly, Today our livestyle is based on this. every product we buy, we check reviews, how other are buying , number of likes/dislikes.

Today our purchases, our satisfaction is all based on what the neighbors are doing.

But God wanted a Kingdom man to lead people of Israel. God  wants every one of us to be a Kingdom man, Kingdom Woman who can take the values of Gods  Kingdom values and apply them in our everyday lives.

Our lifestyle should be based on Gods view.

In the Prayer that the Lord taught His disciples, He taught, Let Your Kingdom Come.

But, Israel ended up with a king who does not have kingdom values, but instead a man who have no regard for Gods values.

how many of you have talked bad when we are angry with our spouse, or our children, siblings.

Times of Crisis reveals true values a person holds. it shows the character.

Let us look at one conversation that hapenned between Saul and his Jonathan.

1 Samuel 20:30,31

 30 Then Saul’s anger was aroused against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of your mother’s nakedness? 31 For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Now therefore, send and bring him to me, for he shall surely die.”

An angry man is always in the danger of destruction.

An angry person is always stirred up in his emotions.

Matthew 5:22

22 But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother [e]without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’[f] shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, [g]‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of [h]hell fire

It is an interesting to see how a father talks with his son in his anger.

You son of a perverse, rebellious woman.

First, Saul in his anger talks about Jonathan's mom and calls her a prostitute.

Bad mouthed his wife and Jonathan's mom.

and he says Jonathan is son of prostitute.

So when a person is angry, they accuse the character of wife and also son or whoever comes in their way.

An angry person does the Character assassination. Remember the times when we are angry and spoke and said things that should not have said.

A kingdom man is not stirred up in emotions.But a man who is people pleasar is stirredup in emtions.

Saul - Jealousy

The next big talk Saul does " Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame"

Saul is not only Jealous - but also  imparting a spirit of jealousy in Jonathan.

What ever your heart is full of, that is what you will impart in others.

When we talk to kids, or parents, or spouse - when we try to correct, if we bring someone our friends kids, our somebody else spouse.- there is an impartation of spirit of Jealousy or spirit of depression.

Bringing others to do the correction is not a kingdom value.

Ad: if you dont study well, you will be like that beggar.

     on the otherhand, if you study well, you can help many people who need help.

A worldly man will bring comparison with others and brings either a spirit of depression, or a spirit of jealousy in the people you talk.

A kingdom man when he speaks, he imparts faith, godliness in the listener.

Brings Kingdoms values and imparts in the listener.

Saul - Relating the Success of Jonathan with existence of David

Comparison: Saul is now Comparing Jonathan with David.

Saul says, if David is alive, you will not be established.

Rather than coming to God and praying, 

Saul thinks , only if David is killed then Jonathan will be established.

Sometimes people think, if this person is not there i will be successful, if this person is not in company, i will get the promotion, really.

But your success, your childs success, your family sucess comes from the Lord, not based on whether someone helpsyou or someone exists.

But on the other hand we see a kingdom woman,  who in times of anger, pours out Kingdom values .

1 Samuel 25: 23,24

23 Now when Abigail saw David, she dismounted quickly from the donkey, fell on her face before David, and bowed down to the ground. 24 So she fell at his feet and said: “On me, my lord, on me let this iniquity be! And please let your maidservant [f]speak in your ears, and hear the words of your maidservant. 

30 And it shall come to pass, when the Lord has done for my lord according to all the good that He has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you ruler over Israel, 31 that this will be no grief to you, nor offense of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has avenged himself. But when the Lord has dealt well with my lord, then remember your maidservant.”

32 Then David said to Abigail: “Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me! 33 And blessed is your advice and blessed are you, because you have kept me this day from coming to bloodshed and from avenging myself with my own hand. 34 For indeed, as the Lord God of Israel lives, who has kept me back from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, surely by morning light no males would have been left to Nabal!” 

we know the story of David and Nabal. 

David protected everything that Nabal has and came to ask him, nabal mocked Davids men.

and David decided to kill nabal.

But Abigail , when she heard that quickly comes to David with all goodies. and see what she says.

a) V 24 - She took responsibility.

b) V 31 -  Why should you deal with this fellow. You actually fight the battles of the Lord.

     She is reminding him of Davids calling -She is showing what David is called for.

     She takes away the anger from David.

    and says why there should bea guilt in Davids life.

V32 - Blessed is your advice.

A Kingdom man, A Kingdom woman brings the Values of Kingdom and pours in the daily live.

Abigiail reminded the higher calling of David and stopped bloodshed.

Today , there is lack of Kingdom people in the Church.

There are many who come to Church, but are you Kingdom minded.

Like Abigial are we kingodm minded.

An Angry man was
