KING DAVID'S GIVING
WELCOME TO :
CHAMPION MINISTRIES INTERNATIONAL
WHERE THE LORD HIMSELF SPEAKS THROUGH HIS SERVANT JOHN HERE ON THE WEB IN THE YEAR 2001
____________________________________
FEEL FREE TO BROWSE ALL OUR PAGES
FOR THE WORD OF THE LORD IS TO BE EATEN BY ALL,
INHALED (FOR HIS BREATH IS HIS SPIRIT),
STUDIED, MEDITATED UPON OR MUTTERED ALOUD
UNTIL IT SINKS INTO THE SPIRIT CONSCIOUSNESS.
THE PSALMIST SAID I WILL HIDE THE WORD OF THE LORD IN MY HEART
SO THAT I MIGHT NOT SIN AGAINST GOD.
YET HE MIGHT BE SAID TO BE EVEN "MORE HUMAN" THAN MANY OTHERS
IN THAT HE NOT ONLY LUSTED AND TOOK ANOTHER MAN'S WIFE,
E ESSENTIALLY MURDERED THAT MAN THAT HE MIGHT MARRY HIS WIFE
BY SENDING THE MAN INTO THE FRONT LINES OF BATTLE
WHERE HE WAS ALMOST CERTAIN TO BE KILLED.
YET GOD DESCRIBED HIM AS A MAN AFTER MY OWN HEART.
WHAT GAVE HIM THAT DISTINCTION SAYS THE LORD,
IS HIS SPIRIT OF PRAISE
AND HIS WILLING TO BE REPENTANT WHEN HE KNEW HE HAD DONE WRONG.
____________________________________
NOW DAVID WAS MADE KING OF ISRAEL
AFTER KING SAUL REBELLED AGAINST GOD
AND SOON AFTERWARD DAVID WAS A RICH MAN.
SO MUCH SO THAT HE DESIRED TO BUILD A HOUSE FOR GOD TO DWELL IN.
HE WAS FORBIDDEN OF THE LORD TO BUILD THE HOUSE BECAUSE HE HAD BLOOD ON HIS HANDS.
HIS SON SOLOMON WAS ACTUALLY GIVEN THE TASK OF BUILDING
THE TEMPLE AS A PLACE OF WORSHIP FOR THE ISRAELITES,
BUT GOD ALLOWED DAVID TO DONATE MUCH OF THE MATERIALS
SUCH AS TIMBER, GOLD AND SILVER .
HE GAVE SEVERAL MILLION DOLLARS WORTH.
SO HE PROVED GODS PLAN WORKS.
HE HAD A GIFT OF GIVING.
SO GOD BLESSED DAVID WITH RICHES AS FAR AS THE THINGS OF THIS WORLD.
YET HE SUFFERED MUCH SORROW IN THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED TO HIS FAMILY
BECAUSE OF HIS SIN WITH BATHSHEBA.
THEIR LOVE CHILD WAS BORN DEAD.
HIS OTHER DAUGHTER WAS RAPED BY HER BROTHER
AND HIS SON ABSOLOM TRIED TO TAKE THE KINGDOM FROM DAVID
AND WAS KILLED WHEN HIS BIG HAIR WAS CAUGHT IN A PEACH TREE AND DRAGGED
HIM FROM HIS HORSE AND LEFT HIM HANGING IN THE AIR
AND HE WAS RUN THROUGH WITH A SPEAR BY ONE OF DAVID'S SOLDIERS.
IN ALL OF THIS GOD WAS SO PLEASED WITH THE REPENTANCE OF DAVID
AND WITH HIS SENSE OF FAIRNESS AND HIS CONTINUAL PRAISING THE LORD
THAT HE SAID THAT HE WOULD BUILD DAVID A HOUSE THAT WOULD
INHERIT A THRONE TO WHICH THERE WOULD BE NO END
AND THAT IT WOULD LAST FOREVER.
FOR EVEN I AM A SON OF DAVID OR A GREAT GRANDSON
SAITH THE LORD AND I WILL TAKE OVER MY
FATHER DAVID'S THRONE AND MY THRONE
SHALL NEVER END SAYS THE LORD JESUS.
REMEMBER, SAYS THE LORD, THE WAY IS SO SIMPLE THAT
A FOOL NOR A WAYFARING MAN SHALL NOT ERR THEREIN.
FOR AS MANY AS WILL BELIEVE AND CALL UPON MY NAME SAYS THE LORD
SHALL BE SAVED AND HIS HOUSE.
