Forget the House of Re
Forget the House of Re 2 Samuel chapters 11 - 19All Scripture references taken from the "Good News Bible. King David may have been a man who loved God with passion, but often their family life is in confusion. A study reveals that his life, including their children, there is immorality, fratricide, betrayal and even the rape of a brother against a rebel sister.The betrayal of David? s son, Absalom, against his father led to the temporary overthrow of the throne of David and his son was declared king of Israel. Fearing for his life in the hands of Absalom, the king fled from Jerusalem, while the generals of their armies, the brothers Joab and Abishai, led the troops still loyal to the king against Absalom and rebels.Absolom was exceptionally boy with hair long. The battle was negative for the rebels, and Absalom fled astride a mule, his flowing hair caught in the branches of a tree. The speed of the mule, which leaves the young rebels and hang your hair. One of David? s men saw what happened. Lord? Joab informed? I saw Absalom hanged in an oak tree. Why not? You can not kill him in place? I have ten pieces of silver and a belt. Even if I gave a thousand pieces of silver, I would like to do? not lift a finger against the king? s son. All the kings command you heard ...? For my benefit, not harm the boy, Absalom. But if I had disobeyed the king, and killed Absalom, the king had heard of him ... and I defended. After ten Joab? s men were killed and Absalom. hearing your child? s death, despite Joab? s protests, David wept and wept for his son. He sent a message to the chief priests of Jerusalem, asking, Why should it be the last to help bring the king to his palace? You are my family [brothers - RV] of my blood, why you should be the last to bring me back? (2 Samuel 19:11-12) According to the Bible, the above steps, David fled Jerusalem to avoid being assassinated by his son Absalom, that the throne. Crossing the River Jordan, David waited until a report is Absalom? s defeat. It sent a message to some of the problems that had remained unharmed in Jerusalem. Your message has been sent to the leaders of the tribe of Judah - David? s own tribe - his family, which, in essence, asked "Why Paradise? Has not expressed the desire for my retu? Why Paradise? I was not brought back to be your king? I? I'm hoping to retu. There are some lukewarm believers who have allowed Absoloms to ascend the throne of their hearts. These Absoloms because their hearts rebel against Jesus Christ who is the legitimate king. For these believers, through the voice of the Holy Spirit, Christ question? When you bring back? I? I was expecting to retu once again as the king of your heart and life. Want to be the last to bring me back? Yes, you are a Christian. If Jesus Christ is the Savior. Yes, you love him. But, however, keep some '. Not made him their king. Therefore, it is surprising that the voice of the Holy Spirit, Jesus reminds him that you want to be held as the new king? Him? s waiting for you to engage fully Him.Some time ago, this writer read an interesting article titled, The House of Forgotten Kings. He explained as he had been deposed king fled to a place of refuge to await the possibility that one day could be invited to retu to power. To that end, his main conce was the political evolution of ancient kingdoms. Jesus, also waiting in the hope that people have sent a spiritual home of Forgotten Kings, soon called him. What determines the retu is the spiritual condition of one? s heart.The record of the Old Testament, in the beginning, God? s perfect plan for the nation of Israel is about to be their king, but Israel wanted a human king. We want to be like other nations. Give us a king? Therefore, God has done, but not waed before the dire consequences of their choice. As God had waed Israel experienced the painful consequences. After winning a war against a determined enemy, Saul, Israel? s first king, disobeyed God? s statement that all the enemies captured booty was destroyed. Israel has been nothing to complain about for himself. Saul also disobeyed the order not to sacrifice himself, but to wait until the prophet Samuel came to do. Headstrong was a king who has always tried to justify his sin actions. Although there are many good kings in the history of Israel, many were the apostates who have evil cult of pagan gods. God has been sent to the home of Forgotten King, and, ultimately, were won by the same nations whose false idol gods that had adopted.Webster? s definition of a king? A person who is a hereditary ruler. This person law of birth. Jesus Christ, the Lord of heaven, is a ruler who rules by right of birth, he is a king birthright.There a story about a seminar that has devastated his student teacher saying,? I? m of God? s second best wishes! He explained that when he was just a young preacher, God called him as a missionary in a foreign country. However, just a good job and who rebelled against the call. Finally, the nation has closed the door for more missionaries. I refused to go, and so now I? m of God? s in good will? repeated.What which unfortunately happened to the teacher? He sent Christ to the home of Forgotten Kings. He has forgotten that Jesus was the king for his birthright. The results may not always be so drastic, but to dethrone Christ in our hearts, even for a short period of time is a dangerous thing for do.John Wesley explained how his parents have been together almost everything, until one day there was a division in the United Kingdom. Some wanted Prince Charles to rule, others were in favor of the Prince of Orange. Wesley? s parents are on opposite sides of the issue. One day the senior Wesley went to church affairs in London and realized his wife was not prepared to go with him. Why are not willing to travel with me in London? "Because I do not think Prince Charles should be king? replied.Hearing that his wife, the husband replied? So we can not live together, we sleep in different beds. If we have two kings, we must have two beds. He has left and not retu until Prince Charles was throne.Drastic? Sure, but John Wesley? S reveals the intense story of some people who have allegiance to a ruler on earth. They are willing to leave home, family and friends of loyalty to the earthly rulers of their choice. In those circumstances, what must be the most faithful believers in Christ, the eteal ruler of the centuries? Our king has not asked us to leave our families without means of support such as high Wesley did with theirs. However, he asked us to spread his saving mission and will soon retu as King of all.The former emperors of China and Japan were the men who were his exact double. At banquets and social affairs, to protect their masters, who often take their place twice. To fulfill this duty, have undergone rigorous training to perfectly imitate the emperor. Therefore, it is not considered the honor of being elected to the potentially dangerous task, the danger does not mean anything to them. That would have gladly sacrificed their lives for their emperor.Believers have a king who should be emulated. As the Apostle Paul wrote? Be imitators of me, as I am an imitator of Christ. A hymnist wrote? King of my life now crown. It will be your glory. To avoid that I forgot your face, crowned with thos, bring me to Calvary. [Hymn: lead me to Calvary, by Jennie Evelyn Hüssy, 1874 - 1958: William J. and Kirkpatrict, 1838 - 1921]. Earthly kings were crowned with great pomp and parade in a palace or a cathedral. Our king is crowned as the king of our lives at the foot of the cross - the Calvary. His hands are marked nails, as are his feet. His face is printed and launched her face hole when pressed thos on his head. This is the crucified and risen, the king has taken our own, at the foot of cross.Some long time ago, a Navy ship navigation at sea, when he received an SOS call from a sinking ship. Acceleration for ships in distress, the ship of the navy men debated found in the sea. Assuming command of a section of the rescue team, the chaplain has ordered? Throw out everything to float these men? He made his men, and a sailor tossed at sea, the chaplain? S portable altar that had a wooden cross attached to his superior. How is launched with the cross is clearly visible above the waves, the sailor shouted to the men discuss? Clinging to the Cross! Clinging to the cross and be saved? Yes, this is an appeal to all those who have not sent to the King of Kings to retu to the heart of the home kings.Cling forget the cross, we cling to the cross and be saved! -30 -?
