Saul sleeping & Abishai asking David to kill Saul |
Before we begin our Bible study Let us recite this verses:
A.“ Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path”. ( Psalm 119:105)
B.“God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” ( John 4:24)
If you are new to the Bible then recite this verses:
A."For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).
B.“Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him" (John 3:36).
KING of Jeshurun Devotions on Psalms 31:18
"Let their lying lips be silenced, for with pride and contempt they speak arrogantly against the righteous".
David here praying for the lying lips to be silenced.He is also saying that he is righteous by faith in Christ and those who speak with pride and contempt are lying with arrogance in their hearts.What was that lying and who were lying about him.It was Doeg the Edomite who was adding fuel to the burning lie of David intentions to kill Saul and thus curry favoring the saul.King saul heart was filled with insecurity because his trust was not on the Lord but on the position, if he could have had the regular fellowship or intimacy with God he could have never believed the lies of others thus Saul could have the reflection of Christ could have revealed the divine essence in every aspect of his life but Saul was filled with mistrust towards David and thus believing all the lies and his own lie of David have the intention of conspiring to kill him and take back the Kingdom. When David got the chance to kill the sleeping Saul,David response was "But David said to Abishai, 'Don’t destroy him! Who can lay a hand on the Lord’s anointed and be guiltless?'” (1 Samuel 26:9).Those who lies are not the children of God but the Children of devil.This is true the believer has to guard his heart from lying lips.
Proverbs 6:17 “Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood” is the attitude of King Saul and the Doeg.
The Devil is the father of all lies |
Due to the lies spoken by the Doeg, King Saul became more furious to take the life of David and also it resulted in killing the Priest Ahimelech,innocent priests of Nob,their wives,children and the livelihood.This is a great tragedy of a lie spoken by the liar Doeg that the Priests of Nob have joined hands with David in kill King Saul in a conspiracy.Infact David had no such intention but God has anointed him to be the King of Israel.It is God who brought David from being a shepherd boy to be the King of Israel in God's timing.In Pslam 52 David is calling the Doeg as mighty Hero depicting how deceitful are the Doeg the edomite.We see one lie caused great destruction and harm to the lives of many.Lying seems small sin but it harms many.Ask God to come out from this sin which is destroying you the blessing of God in your life.
Psalm 52
For the director of music. A maskil of David. When Doeg the Edomite had gone to Saul and told him: “David has gone to the house of Ahimelek.”
Here David depicting the false witness of the Doeg the edomite and how extent he is a harmful.
1 Why do you boast of evil, you mighty hero?
Why do you boast all day long,
you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?
2 You who practice deceit,
your tongue plots destruction;
it is like a sharpened razor.
3 You love evil rather than good,
falsehood rather than speaking the truth.
4 You love every harmful word,
you deceitful tongue!
Why do you boast all day long,
you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?
The word of God is true and the Antichrist speaks all lies |
your tongue plots destruction;
it is like a sharpened razor.
3 You love evil rather than good,
falsehood rather than speaking the truth.
4 You love every harmful word,
you deceitful tongue!
5 Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin:He will snatch you up and pluck you from your tent;he will uproot you from the land of the living.
6 The righteous will see and fear;
they will laugh at you, saying,
7 “Here now is the man
who did not make God his stronghold
but trusted in his great wealth
and grew strong by destroying others!”
6 The righteous will see and fear;
they will laugh at you, saying,
7 “Here now is the man
who did not make God his stronghold
but trusted in his great wealth
and grew strong by destroying others!”
Saul Kills the Priests of Nob
I Sam 22:6-23 tells the incidence how Ahimelech testifies that David had no such intentions of conspiracy against Saul.
Ahimelech giving David the provisions and the sword of Golia |
6 Now Saul heard that David and his men had been discovered. And Saul, spear in hand, was seated under the tamarisk tree on the hill at Gibeah, with all his officials standing around him7 Saul said to them, "Listen, men of Benjamin! Will the son of Jesse give all of you fields and vineyards? Will he make all of you commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds? 8 Is that why you have all conspired against me? No one tells me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse. None of you is concerned about me or tells me that my son has incited my servant to lie in wait for me, as he does today." 9 But Doeg the Edomite, who was standing with Saul's officials, said, "I saw the son of Jesse come to Ahimelech son of Ahitub at Nob. 10 Ahimelech inquired of the LORD for him; he also gave him provisions and the sword of Goliath the Philistine."
Doeg killing innocent priests under Saul's command |
The Prophecy tells the coming of Anti-Christ will be :
Anti Christ gives great hope through lies one world government |
“The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness” ( II Thess 2:9-12).
Jesus is the door to eternal life no other way |
Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).
Let’s Pray:Our Father in Heaven! We pray that saves us from the lying lips and also the impending delusion of satanic wonders and lies in order to be saved from deception.The Antichrist is already preparing the underground work for his manifestations of all lies.We pray that prepare us to manifest your truth to as many as possible and in millions.In Jesus Name we pray!Amen!
