Power to Retain

***1 Samuel 13:14 KJV*** ***But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded thee.*** The story of David & Saul has been a very interesting one. We have so many theories & reasons as to why saul could not retain the kingdown when david could. Some of this reasons we feel are. ▫️ Saul was not God's beloved , God choose Saul out of anger unlike David . ▫️ Saul was not obiedent & repentant like David ▫️ David was God's beloved because he knew the secret to God's heart. All these are reasons why we feel saul could not retain the kingdown but.... **it is one thing to be blessed, restored, set free by God..... And it is another thing to retain & maintain the position.** ****Keypoint**** 🔑 Saul lost the kingdown because he had no power to retain the position God has given to him. He forgot his beginning, saul felt the people were his helpers**(it was because of the people he became king)** so he needed to please them instead of pleasing God. To saul the people's feelings was what matters. **#remember...** The ability to retain the position given to us by God, comes by pleasing God alone.
