Obedience is done under any bad situation.

I Samuel 13:1-23

Saul became a king in 30 years old, he reigned over Israel 42 years.

Jonathan attack the Philistine outpost at Geba, and Philistine heard about it, Then Saul had the trumpet blown throughout the land and said " Let the Hebrew hear", So all Israel heard the news "Saul has attacked the Philistine outposts, and Israel has become a stench to the Philistine." and people summoned to join Saul at Gilgal.

The Philistine assembled to flight Israel, Hebrews were fear and hid, Saul waited 7 days, the time set by Samuel; but Samuel did not come to Gilgal, and Saul's men begin to scatter. So Saul offered the burnt offering. Saul was afraid about the Philistine come and cared about the ceremony of the burnt offering, but was not really obey the words of the Load. He cared about the follower of him.

Only Saul and Jonathan have sword and spear, all Israelite flight to Philistine have not sword in their hand

Saul was scared to flight after he became a king.

Why?

When Saul be a king he enjoying with some men follow him. He forgot he has the role to protect Israelite.

Under difficult situation, waiting for the Load and obey the words of the Load is more important. Fight is the Load let us get victory. Saul what God has done for him. Saul did by his own mind.

Saul found their situation was worse than the Philistine.

Saul's disobedience and arrogance in taking over the function of the prophet costs him his dynasty.

How?

The time is belong to the Load.

Triumph is depend on the Load. Obedience is done under any bad situation. Disobedience is caused by our arrogance or proud heart.

serve the Load with all my heart and consider the hand of God

I Samuel 12:1-25

Samuel's farewell speech to Israelite: 1)Samuel have not done evil thing to his people, The Load is witness, so as all Israel witness. 2)There fathers forgot the Load their God, now they want a king to rule over them, you did evil thing in the eyes of the Load when you asked of a king. 3)Be sure to fear the Load and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you.

Now then stand here, Now then stand still and see this great thing the Load is about to do before your eyes! Samuel called upon the Load, and that same day the Load sent thunder and rain. So the people stood in awe of the Load and of Samuel.

For the sake of his great name the Load will not reject his people, because the Load was pleased to make you his own.

Samuel said " as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the Load by failing to pray for you."

Farewell speech make the end of he rule of the judges.

Why?

Samuel is old, he could not serve Israelite longer, he loves his people, so talk to Israelite what evil thing they did and what they should do in the future, he asked God gave him the sign that what he spoke is come from the Load.

Serving the Load faithfully with all your heart, and consider what great things he has done for us; it is useful when we have distress or dismay.

How?

Serve the Load faithfully with all my heart and consider what he did great thing for me. Yes He have done. As for me, far be it from me that I will serve the Load with all my heart and remember, consider what great things he has done for me.

Holy Spirit works through our inner mind

I Samuel 11:1-15

After be announced a king of Israel, Saul was living as usual, work in his fields.

Jabesh Gilead asked for help for Nahash the Ammonite went up and besieged them, then they sent help message to Israel, the Spirit of God came upon him in power and he burned with anger. The terror of the Load fell on the people, it cause Israelite turned out as one man. There were 300 thousand men gathered.

God helped Saul and Israelite to attack Ammonite, during the last watch of the night they broke into the camp of the Ammonites and slaughtered them until the heat of the day.

After this war, Saul was confirmed as king in the presence of the Load.

To be a king of Israel, people said to Samuel," kill some men despised him and brought him no gifts when he was announced a king. Saul have mercy on those people, for this day the Lord has rescued Israel. Saul knew is the Load saved Israel, was not by his power.

Why?

For perhaps the first time since Joshua the nations is united.

King is a man, who should living as usual, people be called by his name the title is the relationship, that is not real name, relationship is a gift that given by the Load.

Saul to be a real king was started and be done by the Load. Saul just did whatever his hand finds to do. Holy Spirit may work through our inner mind.

In the begging of a king, Saul was humble before the Load.

How?

The name is more important than the title or the relationship. The Load know us by our name.

Holy Spirit may work through our mind when we do it peace.

To be chosen one of the Load, sign of Holy Spirit is needed

I Samuel 10:1-27

Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on Saul. Saul was anointed as a leader over God's inheritance.

Those signs are fulfilled, do whatever your hand finds to do, for God is with you. There were 1)meet 3 men, they will greet you, and offer you 2 loaves of the bread, that were going up to God. 2)The Spirit of the Load will come upon you in power, and you will prophesy with procession of prophets. You will be changed into a different person. 3)meet 2 men asked them.

Samuel asked Saul go down to Gilgal ahead him and must wait seven days until Samuel come to sacrifice burnt offerings and fellowship offerings.

Saul did not tell his uncle about the kingship.

Samuel used lot to let Israel know the Load chose Saul be the king of they want. Saul was has hidden himself among the baggage.

Samuel told people "Do you see the man the Load has chosen? There is no one like him among all the people." Then the people shouted, " Long live the king." Samuel explained to the people to the people the regulations of the kingship. He wrote them down on a scroll and deposited it before the Load. Then Samuel dismissed the people.

Why?

To be a chosen man of the Load, 1) be anointed 2)be offer something of the God 3)be a prophet when the Spirit of the Load come upon. These are the signs.

Saul didn't tell his uncle about the kingship for he was afraid these assignment, for he thought he was very little one in his tribe. He fights shy(Like Moes before him)

Samuel has the wisdom to announced Saul be the king, it wasn't chose by him but by the Load.

Samuel do what his responsibility of a servant of the Load.

How?

When God's signs is come upon, do not be afraid, do whatever your hand finds to do.

I need the sign of Holy Spirit.

Humble my self and search His way

I Samuel 9:11-27

Saul did not know he will be a king of Israel, but the Load has tall Samuel the day before Saul came.

When Samuel caught sight of Saul, the Load said to him,"This is the man I spoke to you ; he will govern my people."

To whom is all the desire of Israel turned, if not to you and all your father's family?

Saul is a Benjamite from the smallest tribe of Israel, and his clan the least of all the clans of the tribe of Benjamin. The Load raised the poor from the dust and lift the needy from the ash heap.

Samuel brought Saul and his servant into the hall and let Saul seated them at the head of those who were invited.

Samuel talked with Saul o the roof of his house. They rose about daybreak and Samuel called to Saul on the roof, "Get ready, and I will send you on your way", they tell the servant to go on ahead of them, Samuel may give massage from God to Saul.

Why?

The Load has very good communication with Samuel.

The Load chooses the poor or needy people from the dust and ash heap.

Saul to be seated on the head seat of dinner, he was invited by the highest priest. He was experienced an uncommon 2 days, for he was chose by the Load.

How?

Do not frustrated or felt the Load forsake me, when the time is coming the glory of the Load will come upon me if I honest follow his words. To be humble, and searching His way.

Where is my vision? Rely on the Load

I Samuel 9:1-10

Saul, the son of Kish, a Benjamite, an impressive young man without equal among the Israelite- a head taller than any of the others.

The donkeys belongs to Saul's father were lost, and Kish said to his son Saul, tale one of the servant with you and look for the donkeys.

Saul could not find the donkeys, the servant suggested," there is a man of God; he is highly respected, and everything he says comes true. Let's go there, perhaps he will tell us what way to take"

Saul said "If we go, what can we give the man? The food in our sacks is gone. We have no gift to take to the man of God. What do we have?"

The prophet of today used to be called a seer.

Why?

God chose a man with outstanding look, people of Israel will like he. Man see outside, God sees the inside.

The donkeys lost and could not be found is the way of the Load and the servant with Saul has good suggestion to Saul. Even missing something be the arrangement of the Load. It brings Israel's future king from Gibeah to Ramah and the meeting with Samuel.

To ask something to the man of God need to bring gift same as to see the Load in temple.

Prophet is a seer, who can see the vision beyond.

Saul is a careless man who didn't heard the name of Samuel, and he is living in Ramah.

How?

Am I like Saul is a careless man, even didn't know the prophet of God?

Can I be a seer, see the Load want me to see the vision? I can't see vision unless the Load let me see it.

The Load is my king for ever

I Samuel 8:1-22

Samuel's sons are not walk in his ways, They were dishonest gain and accepted bribes and perverted justice.

All the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel, they said to him," now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have"

The Load knows that they rejected the Load be their king, since they went out of Egypt.

The Load to be our king, we devout tithe to Him, but now we have to do more for the government

Why?

Samuel felt rejected and resists. But God advises Samuel to hear them out.

To be a servant might have sons do not walk his way.

How?

Listen to the word of the Load
