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.
Good one
