Delivering me from my enemies. You exalted me above those who rebelled against me, delivering me from violent men.
2Sa 22:49
David had many enemies to face in his life. He knew why enemies rose against him. When he sinned against God one of the punishment God uttered on him was,
“Therefore the sword will never leave your household, because you have despised me by taking the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own.’ “This is what the LORD says: “‘Listen very carefully! “‘I’m raising up evil against you right out of your own household. “
2Sa 12:10,11
David’s own son rose against him and became his enemy. Absaom gathered David’s army, drove David away from the palace and made himself the king. Even though David repented and asked mercy from the Lord, all the Israelites were under Absalom for a particular period. The Lord forgave his sins. But the term of punishment was there. During this period also, David sought the Lord and the Lord was with him to help him.
After a particular period, all the Israelites came back to him. And David was appointed king again.
“Not long afterward, all the men of Israel started coming to the king….”
2 Sa 19:41
They were competing in claiming rights over David.
The invitation for David’s return had originated in the ten tribes, but, through some mismanagement, the actual welcome was given by Judah. This led to a renewed manifestation of the rivalry that at length brought about the division of the kingdom. The prophetic word, ‘Therefore the sword will never leave your household’ came into effect.
Today many believers undergo trials and tribulations over which they are not able to take victory. Neither do they know the reason.
India, as a nation has been undergoing slavery of satan for centuries. But now the period of punishment is getting over. Jesus Christ is slowly taking over this nation.
Sense the change of time! It’s your duty to see ‘Jesus’ Government’ is established in your area. What are the slaveries your area people are undergoing now? You may start chasing them.
One time there was a famine during David’s reign that went on for three straight years. David sought the LORD, who said, “Saul and his household are guilty because he executed the Gibeonites.”
2Sa 21:1
Is there a famine (for the word), sickness or anything that is tormenting people of your Constituency continuously? Ask the Lord for the reason. He will reveal the solution too.
After they had done everything that the king commanded, God responded to prayers for the land.
2Sa 21:14
Is there still anything which you have to do for your land?
And David spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul.
2Sa 22:1
India is going to sing the Freedom Song soon. Its slavery is coming to an end. All the enemies which ruled over India – sins, curses, false gods and goddesses all are fleeing one by one. You are being built, O India, You shall again put on your tambourines, and shall go forth in the dances of those who rejoice. Amen.
