I most admit writing this I began to cry because of seeing this spirit hurt so many of God's people...Why are we taking this so lightly??? Why are the ones that are crying out against such is called crazy... Wake up church and be enlightened...
1 Sam 25:10 And Nabal answered David's servants and said, Who is David? Who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants nowadays who are each breaking away from his master.
Brief recap...
Nabal names mean fool/ folly...Abigail means the father delight or the father's dance....She was of a beautiful countenance and of good understanding', a very wise woman indeed! ... But some HOW became YOKED with some one not of her nature....Poor woman! She was tied to one in wedlock who was 'churlish and evil', greedy and grasping, sour and cross-tempered.... Now I know it is hard to not just make this about MARRIAGES, SINGLE PEOPLE you could be yoked to a NABAL as WELL.... You might of entered covenant with a church, a prayer partner or just a FAMILY MEMBER... So do not just become one minded with this....
NABAL is a very selfish individual and he only looks out for HIS OWN...and gain....Nabal does not care about COVENANT...He is not one of a COVENANT nature all he cares about is HIS GAIN... Nabal does not respect Covenant relationship...He will take as you give and too selfish to make SURE he is giving back...
Nabal teaches to break away from anything even if it is GOD sent...He only wants what will support HIS DESIRE and that WHICH is part of HIS PLANS, HIS OWN VISION...Nabal does not care about HOW MUCH YOU HELPED HIM...How much you gave to HIM nor HOW much you PROTECTED HIM...Nabal is a CRUEL FOOL...and those that come around him will be taken advantage of...
With such people THERE IS NO COVENANT....You can not even say that YOU HAVE ONE....God does not even honor it...
Okay
- David Represent CHRIST...
- Nabal Represent WRONG CONNECTION...Worldly desires..
- Abigail represent The Seeker of Christ a covenant keeper...
Nabal will find out what you consider to be sacred and USE IT AGAINST you, to hold you in BONDAGE TO HIM....He wants to feel above and in charge...He is cruel in all HIS ways so he does not play far and will twist his words to twist your mind... He will do what ever he can to win and just enjoy life...
Nabal is ALL ABOUT EGO...We see this spirit a lot in the GANGSTER TERRITORY....That which we are teaching many of the YOUNGER Generation about COOL...Fight for respect and not to be disrespected....
1 Sam 25:4 David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
1 Sam 25:5 And David sent out ten young men and said to [them], Go up to Carmel to Nabal and greet him in my name;
1 Sam 25:6 And salute him thus: Peace be to you and to your house and to all that you have.
1 Sam 25:7 I have heard that you have shearers. Now your shepherds have been with us and we did them no harm, and they missed nothing all the time they were in Carmel
David is calling on Nabal for service...BUT NABAL MISSED HIS CALL!!!!! Why do he need to answer?.....Many that operate as Nabal did would have a CALLING on their LIFE...They are called BY NAME to serve but too foolish to submit...This is how Abigail get mixed up with them...This is how the father delight become bond to a folly person...We have to be careful with seeing the call and not the HEART....
Look at this David representing Christ sent his servant to call on Nabal...To give Nabal a message...The 10 men were mouth piece of David...They were sent in his name...They went telling the good news of what David had done for him...They were witnessing....
1 Sam 25:8 Ask your young men and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your sight, for we come at an opportune time. I pray you, give whatever you have at hand to your servants and to your son David.
1 Sam 25:9 And when David's young men came, they said all this to Nabal in the name of David, and then paused.
