DAVID (Part 1)

DAVID (PART 1)
We announced last week, that we shall commence a study of choice Bible Characters this week. We are starting with this exemplary man referred to as a man after God’s heart (Acts 13:22). Of all the Old Testament saints there is hardly any one that can be related to the New Testament Christian better than David. He was almost everything a Christian is expected to be. That is why we believe that a close study of his life will be of tremendous blessings to us. May the Lord teach us Himself in Jesus name.

1. DAVID WAS MUCH MORE THAN A KING
David was not just a king. He was several other things. For example; he was a musician, warrior, priest, prophet, shepherd and dancer among others. We are supposed to be all these too.
2Sam.2:4; 1Sam.16:17-18; 1Sam.17:32; 1 Sam.30:7- 8, Ps. 22:1; .ISam.16:11-13; 1Sam.16:14- 16; 1Sam.12:13; Rev.1:5-6; Eph.6: 10-12; Eph.5:19; 1Pet.2:9 Acts.2:16-17; Eph.2:4-8.

2. BEWARE: GOD ALWAYS HAS A SUBSTITUTE
David probably would not have come to the limelight but for the sins of King Saul. We need to be aware that God always has a substitute for anyone who fails him.
