IS ANYONE BETTER BECAUSE OF YOU? (2)

Read: 1 Samuel 22:1-2, 2 Samuel 23:8-38

Meditation verse:

“So, he shepherded them according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands” (Psalm 78:72)

David was a generous King who gave willingly to those he led and to God. When offered a free land upon which to offer sacrifices to God, he insisted on buying it from the owner saying, “No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God with that which costs me nothing” (2 Samuel 24:24). He bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

David was a lover and worshipper of God. He put God first in everything he did. Once whilst still in hiding and needed a drink of water, three of his mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to him. He would not drink it but poured it out to the Lord. And he said, “Far be it from me, O Lord, that I should do this! Is this not the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their lives?” Therefore, he would not drink it. (2 Samuel 23:14-17).

As a leader, he taught his men to love and worship God, and God brought out the greatness in them.

Who are you leading? Who are you mentoring? What kind of leader are you? Are you a transactional or transformational leader? Are the people under you becoming transformed for the better?. David’s mentoring and leadership style is worthy of emulation.

IN HIS PRESENCE is written by Oke Chinye.
Have you asked Jesus Christ to come into your heart?

He says in Mathew 11:28, “come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” He longs to give you rest."

Would you like to do so now? Here’s a prayer you can say:
Dear Jesus, I believe that You died to save me from all my sins. Today, I invite you into my heart and I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Please forgive all my sins and help me to live my life for You.
