What should cause your heart to rejoice?

What should cause you to be happy? What should cause you to know that there’s value and purpose in life?

David says it’s seeking The Lord in first Chronicles Chapter 16, we read, 

Seek the Lord and his strength. Seek his face evermore. 

Glory in his name (verse 10) Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord. 

Seek God and rejoice in your heart today.

And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ.

In Ephesians, chapter five, we’re commanded to sing psalms and hymns and to encourage one another and to give thanks to the Lord. 

David does that in first Chronicles Chapter 16 where we read 

Oh, give thanks to the Lord! Call upon his name. Make known His deeds among the peoples. sing to Him, Sing Psalms to Him, talk of all His wondrous works. 

We need to be thanksgiving people. We need to be those who are thankful to God and recognize all His wonderful deeds that He’s done for us.

1 Chronicles 15:12-13 – He said to them, You are the heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, you and your brethren, that you may bring up the ark of the LORD God of Israel to the place I have prepared for it.  For because you did not do it the first time, the LORD our God broke out against us, because we did not consult Him about the proper order.

It’s so very important to make sure that we do things the way God has commanded us to do them in our worship and in our service, in our lives and in our homes. 

David found that out the hard way and Uzzah died, but we read in first chronicles chapter 15, You are the heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, you and your brethren, that you may bring up the ark of the Lord God of Israel to the place I have prepared for it. For because you did not do it the first time the Lord our God broke out against us because we did not consult Him about the proper order.

We fail to do what’s right when we fail to do it God’s way. Let us live and serve God in accordance with His commandments and not our own opinions.

1 Chronicles 15:2 Then David said, “No one may carry the ark of God but the Levites, for the LORD has chosen them to carry the ark of God and to minister before Him forever.”

In 1Chronicles 15, we read, Then David said, no one may carry the ark of God, but the Levites for the Lord has chosen them to carry the ark of God and to minister before him forever.

David makes this declaration, but it really wasn’t David’s choice. David found out the hard way (by trying to transport the ark on a cart and costing Uzzah his life) he found out the hard way that God had already commanded how it was supposed to be done. 

David here declares what God had already said. 

You do it my way, God says, or don’t do it at all.

2 Samuel 6:6-7 And when they came to Nachon’s threshing floor, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen stumbled. Then the anger of the LORD was aroused against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by the ark of God.

2 Samuel 5:18-19 – The Philistines also went and deployed themselves in the Valley of Rephaim. So David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand?” And the LORD said to David, “Go up, for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand.”

And now admonition brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ. What should you do when you’re in danger? What should you do when you’re afraid of what someone else might do to you?

May I encourage you, begin by praying. When David is threatened by the Philistines in 2 Samuel chapter five, we read. 

So David inquired of the Lord saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines?  Will you deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to David, Go up for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand.

Though our relationship with Lord is different today than it was in David’s day, David inquired with Lord David sought the Lord’s help. Do that for yourself when you’re in danger.

2 Samuel 5:6 And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, “You shall not come in here; but the blind and the lame will repel you,” thinking, “David cannot come in here.”

Taunting people is a dangerous thing. Some men from the Jebusites decided to taunt David, they said, Our blind and our lame in our city of Jerusalem could keep you back from coming into our city. 

They thought they were well defended. They thought they were Impenetrable. They thought even their blind and their lame could stop David. But David will put the challenge to his army and to the one who retains that challenge and defeats the city, he says, I’ll make you chief and captain over the Army. 

Well, Joab will do exactly that because the people taunted David. David was determined to overthrow them, and he did.

2 Samuel 4:9-11 But David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, “As the LORD lives, who has redeemed my life from all adversity, when someone told me, saying, ‘Look, Saul is dead,’ thinking to have brought good news, I arrested him and had him executed in Ziklag-the one who thought I would give him a reward for his news. How much more, when wicked men have killed a righteous person in his own house on his bed? Therefore, shall I not now require his blood at your hand and remove you from the earth?”

And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ. 

Assumptions are a dangerous thing. In Second Samuel Chapter 4, two men kill Saul’s son who has taken the throne of Israel, and they bring his head to David thinking because he’s David’s enemy, David will reward them. They assumed wrong. We read in second Samuel, Chapter four, 

As the Lord lives, who has redeemed my life from all adversity. When someone told me saying, Look, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good news, I arrested him and had him executed in Ziklag, the one who thought I would give him a reward for his news.

How much more when wicked men have killed a righteous person in his own house on his own bed. Therefore, shall I now require his blood at your hand and remove you from the earth? 

Assumptions caused these two men to die. Be careful of your assumptions.

And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ. 
What do you do when you can’t get justice from the law? David found himself in this situation in second Samuel Chapter three, where his commander of his army kills another man without any authority to do so. 
But it seems as though the law didn’t have a solution for the problem. Maybe because there weren’t witnesses. 
So, David, who knows who is guilty will say this, The Lord shall repay the evildoer according to his wickedness.
Sometimes men’s laws won’t provide us justice. But there’s one righteous judge who always will. Trust in the Lord.

2 Samuel 2:8-10 – But Abner the son of Ner, commander of Saul’s army, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul and brought him over to Mahanaim; and he made him king over Gilead, over the Ashurites, over Jezreel, over Ephraim, over Benjamin, and over all Israel. Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. Only the house of Judah followed David.

Transcript:
And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ. 

There’s a lesson in the Old Testament about following the influence of a person to do evil. Ishbosheth is one who is one of the sons of Saul, and at age forty he will become king over Israel when Saul dies. But how did he become king? 

He became king because one of the commanders of Saul’s army, Abner, made him king. He followed Abner’s influence to do something that was wrong. Abner had no authority to make him king, and he’ll reign as king over Israel for two years and then he’ll be murdered. 

He lost his life because he followed someone in their evil deeds.

And now admonition brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ. 

What does it mean to usurp the authority of God? It means that when God has made a choice, or God has given a commandment, or God has told us what to do, and then we replace His commandment with our own decisions, we’ve usurped His authority. 

Abner does this in Second Samuel chapter two, where Samuel in the past has already anointed David at the command of God. David is to be the next king in Israel. And when Saul dies, Abner anoints someone else instead. 

In second Samuel chaptertwo and in verseeight, But Abner, the son of Ner, commander of Saul’s Army, tookIshbosheth, the son of Saul, and brought him over to Mahanaim and made him king over Gilead.

Abner chooses a different king, which he had no authority to do. He usurped the authority of God.

When a third party interacts with those who mistreat us, how should we treat them? 

An example of that is in second Samuel Chapter two, Soul has sought David’s life, has attempted to kill him, has run him from his home, and now Saul has died. But the men of Jabesh Gilead go up and they retrieve Saul’s body that had been taken by the Philistines, and they bury him properly.

And David says this about these men, You are blessed of the Lord, for you have shown this kindness to your Lord to Saul and have buried him. And now may the Lord show kindness and truth to you. I also will repay you this kindness because you have done this thing. Even though Saul hated him and the men of Jabesh did good to Saul, David showed kindness to them.

We need to learn this kind of complex good behavior in our own lives and implement it today.

2 Samuel 2:3 And David brought up the men who were with him, every man with his household. So they dwelt in the cities of Hebron. Then the men of Judah came, and there they anointed David king over the house of Judah. 

Transcript:
And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ 

In Second Samuel, Chapter two, and in verse four we read, Then the men of Judah came. And there they anointed David king over the house of Judah.

These leaders of Judah come and they anoint David as their king. Let me ask you a question. Whoever gave them authority to anoint the King? The answer is no one.  Samuel had already anointed David as King. And it was simply a matter of waiting until Saul’s life was over before he would take that throne, or have it given to him by God that is. 

These men had no authority to anoint David or to oppose him because he was the Lord’s anointed.

2 Samuel 2:1-2 – It happened after this that David inquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said to him, Go up. David said, Where shall I go up? And He said, To Hebron. 2 So David went up there…

TRANSCRIPT: 

And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ. 

In 2 Samuel 2, David inquires of Lord as to whether or not he should go up to Judah after Saul’s death, and the Lord tells him to go.

But that’s not enough for David. David has been told to go, but David wants more clarity on where to go. So, he inquires of Lord, to what city should I go? And the Lord says to Hebron. 

Sometimes we need to look a little deeper, and sometimes we need to get clarification. When God has given us a command and we’re not completely sure how to fulfill it, let’s dig a little deeper and learn what God would have us to do exactly as he said.

It happened after this that David inquired of the Lord saying, Shall I go up to any of the cities of Judah? And the Lord said to him, Go up.  

David when he’s trying to decide what to do, inquired of the Lord, and we need to learn that lesson in our own lives.

How do you speak about those who do you wrong? When David is mourning the death of Saul and Jonathan… Saul, of course, being one who had tried to kill him, who had run him away from his own home, who was seeking his life.  And yet, David says, in 2 Samuel 1:23, 

Saul and Jonathan were beloved and pleasant in their lives, and in their death they were not divided. They were swifter than eagles. They were stronger than lions. 

David chose to speak good of one who have done evil to him.  How are you speaking about those who are your enemies today?

Has your mouth ever gotten you in trouble? I know one person’s who did.  An individual comes to David after Saul and Jonathan die on the battlefield against the Philistines and he claims to have killed Saul.

We read in Second Samuel chapter one that after he claims this, David will command him to be executed and will say, “your blood is on your own head for your own mouth has testified against you saying, “I have killed the Lord’s anointed.”

We need to be careful how we use our mouth. Sometimes it just might get us in a world of trouble.

He believes he’s going to come and bring this news of Saul dying, and David would be glad, and David would reward him, but something else happens instead. 

In second Samuel, Chapter one David said in verse 14. How was it you were not afraid to put forth your hand to destroy the Lord’s anointed?

This man claimed to have killed Saul with his own hand, and David pronounced this man’s judgment based upon his own testimony.

Eph 4:26 Be angry, and do not sin: do not let the sun go down on your wrath…

Transcript:
And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ. 

We mentioned in the past something that’s really hard, especially for some people. And that’s controlling their anger.

Sometimes we just fly off the handle. Sometimes we lose our temper. Sometimes we’re quick tempered, and those are the qualities of a Christian.

So what can we do to avoid anger? Number one, Paul says in Ephesians Chapter four, Verse 26.

Do not let the sun go down on your wrath. Anger builds upon anger from the past. When we deal with the situations of today, while it is still today, we don’t have to relive them tomorrow.

Deal with your anger today and live the life of a Christian.

When you become a Christian, what things were supposed to change in your life? We’ve read already that we’re supposed to put away lying. But Paul says something else. Ephesians, Chapter four, Verse 26 he says. 

Be angry and do not sin. Do not let the sun go down on your wrath nor give place to the devil. 

When you allow anger to grab hold of your life, when you allow anger to control you, you open up a target for Satan. Control yourself. Learn to exhibit the mind of Christ in your life.

Transcript:
And now, Admonition, brought to you by the Collierville Church of Christ. 

What changes are supposed to happen when you become a Christian? 

One of them is, your mind is supposed to change because the person living inside of you is supposed to change. Ephesians, Chapter four, Verse 23 says, “And be renewed in the spirit of your mind. And that you put on the new man which was created according to God in true righteousness and holiness.”

When a person is baptized into Christ, when they are immersed in water, they die and they are resurrected again to a new life. They come up out of that water, a new person and they’re supposed to change. They’re supposed to live differently.

When you were baptized, did you come out and begin living a new life? Where did you go back to the old one — think about that today.

When you were taught the gospel when you were taught what a person’s supposed to do to become a Christian, were you taught how a Christian lives? Were you taught that you couldn’t continue to live the way you always lived? There are some churches today that don’t teach that. They teach that you can supposedly “accept Christ” and then life just goes on.

No, Paul says in Ephesians, Chapter four, verse 20. But you have not so learned Christ… Did you know that becoming your Christian is a learning process?

You’re supposed to learn to pattern your life after His, and to live and think the way He lived and thought. Is the mind of Christ and the life of Christ exhibited in your life?

There’s an interesting point that Paul makes in Ephesians, Chapter four verses 17 and 18. He talks about the Gentiles who are futile in their mind. He says they’re they’re of no value. They’re pointless because of the way they’re living, because they’re living in a way that is ignorant of God, and they’re choosing a course in life based upon their ignorance of God.

So when you think about that, when he says that… In the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from a life of God because of the ignorance that is in them because of the blindness of their heart… when you read those words, does it make you want to stop and know God better? Does it also explain to you the struggles and the difficulties you see in the world around you because people live ignorant of God?

Help someone be more acquainted with God today.

What happens to someone who lives in ignorance of God, who continues down that path of ignorance, who chooses not to know God and obey him, and then continues that way for years?
Paul says that quite often they end up in this situation: Ephesians four, Verse 19 Who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanliness with greediness.
But then he says to the Christians in Ephesus… But you have not so learned Christ. If your ignorance of God is causing you to live in a way that’s unrighteous, ungodly, unchristian-like, begin by changing your knowledge of God.
Begin by going back to God’s word and searching for God’s instruction for your life.
