WHEN GOD SAID TO DAVID THE THINGS
THAT DAVID DID NOT PLEASE THE LORD, DO YOU THINK GOD IS JUDGING KING DAVID?
( II Samuel 11:27 ) “And when the mourning was past,
David sent and fetched her to his house, and she became his wife, and bare him
a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the LORD.”
* INTRODUCTION:
a. When God said to Prophet
Nathan the " the things that David did, did not please the Lord do we
think God is judge or God is showing that He is against of what David did of
getting Bathsheba to wife displease the Lord.
b. Now my question to you and me. If Christian did in the eye of God, do
you think God is judging you, or God is accusing you?
c. Yes believe that is a degree of seen that Christians are doing. There
is sin not to death and there is a sin that is sin unto death. Like of immorality
is a sin unto death.
(1 Corinthians
5:1-3,4-5) ⁴ In the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit,
with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
⁵ To deliver such an one unto
Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day
of the Lord Jesus.
1. WHEN GOD SAID DO NOT FORSAKES THE ASSEMBLY… IS JUDGING
YOU THAT YOU ARE NOT FAITHFUL IN WORSHIP.
(Hebrews10:25) “Not forsaking the assembling of
ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so
much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”
a. Jerusalem Church set a good example Church for being faithful to
worship God.
(Acts 2:46-47) ⁴⁶ And they, continuing daily with
one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their
meat with gladness and singleness of heart,
⁴⁷ Praising God, and having favour
with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be
saved.
b. King David is always excited to Worship God in His Temple.
(Psalms 122:1) I was glad when they said unto me,
Let us go into the house of the LORD.”
2. WHEN COMMANDED YOU TO SEEK HIM FIRST… IS JUDGING YOU
THAT YOU ARE NOT GIVING GOD THE PRIORITY IN YOUR DAILY LIFE.
(Mathew 6:33) “But seek ye first the kingdom of
God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
a. King David seek God very early to give Him the first priority in his
life.
(Psalms 63:1-6) ¹ (A Psalm of David, when he was
in the wilderness of Judah.) O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my
soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land,
where no water is;
² To see thy power and thy glory,
so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary.
³ Because thy lovingkindness is
better than life, my lips shall praise thee.
⁴ Thus will I bless thee while I
live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.
⁵ My soul shall be satisfied as
with marrow and fatness; and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips:
⁶ When I remember thee upon my
bed, and meditate on thee in the night watches.
⁷ Because thou hast been my help,
therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
3. WHEN GOD COMMANDED YOU TO CONFESS YOUR SIN ONE TO
ANOTHER… IS JUDGING YOU THAT YOU ARE CONTINUING IN SINNING.
(James 5:16) “Confess your faults one to
another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent
prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”
a. King David acknowledge his sin before God.
(Psalms 32:1-5) ¹ (A Psalm of David, Maschil.)
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
² Blessed is the man unto whom the
LORD imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
³ When I kept silence, my bones
waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
⁴ For day and night thy hand was
heavy upon me: my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
⁵ I acknowledged my sin unto thee,
and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto
the LORD; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
4. WHEN GOD REBUKING THE CHRISTIANS OF NOT GIVING YOUR
TITHES AND OFFERRING FAITHFULLY… HE IS JUDGING YOU.
( Malachi 3: 8-10 ) ⁸ Will a man rob God? Yet ye have
robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.
⁹ Ye are cursed with a curse: for
ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.
¹⁰ Bring ye all the tithes into
the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now
herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of
heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive
it.
a. Macedonian Church are very faithful in their giving to the Lord.
( II Corinthians
8:1-5) ¹
Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the
churches of Macedonia;
² How that in a great trial of
affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the
riches of their liberality.
³ For to their power, I bear
record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves;
⁴ Praying us with much intreaty
that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the
ministering to the saints.
⁵ And this they did, not as we
hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of
God.
b. The Macedonian Church give bountifully and cheerfully with the
purpose of their heart to the Lord
( II Corinthians
9:6-7) ⁶ But this
I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth
bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
⁷ Every man according as he
purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for
God loveth a cheerful giver.
c. God said it is blessed to give than to receive.
(Acts 20:35) “I have shewed you all things, how
that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of
the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
5. WHEN GOD COMMANDED THE CHURCH TO GOD SOULWINNING IS
JUDGING YOU THAT YOU ARE THAT YOU ARE DISOBEYING THE GREAT COMMISSION OF THE
LORD JESUS CHRIST?
(Mathew 28:19-20) ¹⁹ Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost:
²⁰ Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto
the end of the world. Amen.
a. Jerusalem Church are very courageous in fulfilling the great
commission of the Lord Jesus. Because even there is a threat of their lives still,
they have the courage to share the gospel of Christ to the lost people. Big
Amen and amen.
( Acts 5:26-29) ²⁶ Then went the captain with the
officers, and brought them without violence: for they feared the people, lest
they should have been stoned.
²⁷ And when they had brought them,
they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,
²⁸ Saying, Did not we straitly
command you that ye should not teach in this name? and, behold, ye have filled
Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.
²⁹ Then Peter and the other
apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
b. The growth of the Church grows dynamically because their faithfulness
in the great commission of the Lord Jesus Christ.
(Acts 6:4-7) ⁴ But we will give ourselves
continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
⁵ And the saying pleased the whole
multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost,
and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a
proselyte of Antioch:
⁶ Whom they set before the
apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
⁷ And the word of God increased;
and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great
company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
* God bless you all always. *
