(TEXT : 2 Samuel 9:7)
And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father’s sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.
FOCUS :
Yesterday, we spoke about that Mephibosheth received kindness from King David; based on the relationship David had with Mephibosheth father (Johnathan). And just as I have mentioned yesterday, King David switching into action immediately, because it was direct instruction and a leading from God that Mephibosheth will be remembered for kindness from King David. The reason I know it was God who instructed King David, it is actually because of what King David said, which is “Mephibosheth should fear not.” The phrase “fear not”; it is always a phrase that God often used whenever He send His Angel to us His children to help us or better still, when Him Himself, wants to help us.
Isaiah 43:1
But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
In addition, which will bring us to the second part of the favour that Mephibosheth received from King David. In those days, potential heirs to the throne, as Mephibosheth, were instantly killed by those in power. So that means, immediately King David came into power, many people in the land of Israel would have thought that King David would have killed Mephibosheth. Because he would have been seen as a threat to King David’s throne. Many think of the Lord in the same fashion; however, the Word of the Lord has always been “fear not.”
Isaiah 43:5
Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
Finally, when God is interested in helping man, even you, you will be so much afraid the outcome of the help. Particularly when you know you are not among those who are qualified for the help. Actually, we are all not qualified to stand before the “King” talk less of eating at the same table with Him; but Mercy and Grace found us, and tell us all to “FEAR NOT”, for we are SAVED. When God says “fear not”, then who should you be afraid of or what should make you afraid? King David told Mephibosheth to “fear not”! The same way, Jesus is saying to you and I too to “fear not”: and that we should approach His Mercy table to have “bread of life that will take away our hunger and the living water that will make ys no more thirsty again for rest of our lives.
John 6:35
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
John 6:51
I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
John 7:37-38 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
BE SAFE AND GET SAVED!
God bless you richly!
Jesus Christ loves you
Thank you Holy Spirit
ARE YOU SAVED?
