    THE MANIFESTATION OF
    THE SPIRIT OF GOD ON
    JOSEPH
    38)And Pharaoh said unto
    his servants, Can we find
    such a one as this is, a man
    in whom the spirit of GOD
    is?
    39)And Pharoah said unto
    Joseph, forasmuch as GOD
    hath showed thee all this,
    there is none so discreet
    and wise as thou art
    GENESIS 41:38-39
    AND PHARAOH SAID CAN
    WE FIND SUCH A MAN AS
    THIS
    At seventeen years of age
    Joseph was sold for a slave;
    at thirty he was prime
    minister of Egypt, Joseph
    had not only interpreted
    Pharaoh’s dream, but had
    suggested a policy in
    preparaAon for the coming
    famine, he had
    recommended the
    appointment of a wise and
    discreet man, with supreme
    authority over the land,
    Pharaoh first consulted his
    servants, and with their
    consent, the sudden
    installing of unknown
    prisoner in the high office
    has oeen been thought hard
    to believe, but the ground
    on which Pharaoh put it
    goes far to explain it, he and
    his servants had come to
    believe that GOD spoke
    through this man, that the
    Spirit of GOD was in Him,
    the Spirit of supernatural
    insights , here was a divinely
    sent messenger and that
    Joseph is from the true
    GOD
    AS FAR AS GOD HATH
    SHOWED ALL THIS
    Aeer Pharaoh agreed had
    agree to his being the man;
    forasmuch as GOD hath,
    showed thee all this; the
    interpretaAon of his dreams,
    what would be hereaeer for
    fourteen years to come,
    what was advisable to be
    done for the good of the
    naAon, and had proposed a
    plan so well, the very
    thought that the naAon
    could suffer economic
    collapse due to famine was
    frightening, but the dreams
    had happened, and Joseph’
    interpretaAon fifed and
    matched the dream
    perfectly, GOD used Joseph
    to cause men to
    acknowledge His Spirit that
    He work in His servant and
    in the world, GOD was with
    Joseph He revealed all
    things to Joseph, as the
    Spirit of GOD dwells in
    Joseph , Pharaoh told
    Joseph what he thought
    about him, that was
    discerning and wise, but
    not within himself , but
    because of GOD.
    There is none so discreet
    and wise as thou art, and
    consequently none so fit for
    this business, since he was
    so divinely qualified as the
    answer seemed to be give
    by GOD not from man
    Joseph was exalted over all
    the people of Egypt, he was
    put in charge of all the
    place, everyone except
    Pharaoh was subject to him,
    the second in command the
    prime minister over all over
    Egypt

    brethren, I die; and GOD will
    surely visit you, and bring
    you out of this land unto the
    land which he sware to
    Abraham, to Isaac and Jacob
    25)And Joseph took an oath
    of the children of Israel,
    saying, GOD will surely visit
    you, and you shall carry up
    my bones from hence
    26)So Joseph died, being a
    hundred and ten years old;
    and they embalmed him,
    and he was put in a coffin in
    Egypt

    SPECIFIC DIVINE TASK
    ON JOSEPH
    His brethren plead Joseph
    for forgiveness, they sent
    unto Joseph, he no doubt
    summons them before him,
    when they fall down before
    him entreaAng his
    forgiveness, Joseph removes
    their fear
    Joseph declared that GOD
    had overruled their evil,
    that I will take the law into
    his hands and take revenge,
    that GOD has already
    judged them and worked it
    out for good, turned their
    sinful deed they thought to
    have contradicted his
    dreams, and made them of
    none effect, to almost have
    taken away his life, or slave
    all his days, but GOD meant
    it unto good, into a blessing,
    GOD was able to exult
    Joseph to be ruler the ruler
    of Egypt so that he can save
    the world of his days from
    ufer catastrophe especially
    His people Israel and
    believers of the earth; to
    save them from economic
    collapse and starvaAon due
    to the seven years of famine
    that had struct the known
    world at that Ame, he
    assured them of his
    brotherly kindness towards
    them, that he will provide
    for them and their families
    And Joseph dwell in Egypt
    and his father’s house
    comfortable , quite, and in
    great prosperity, he stayed
    faithful to GOD; he lived to

    was going to visit Israel, that
    no mafer what the trial be
    Israel is going to survive

    Someame before his death
    he called them together,

    which they dwelt , unto the
    land which he sware to
    Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
    meaning the land of
    Canaan, which he will give
    to them
    He was thinking of the
    prophecy that GOD had
    given to Abraham years
    earlier predicAon that Israel
    will suffer afflicAon at the
    hands of some naAon for
    four hundred years , Joseph
    certainly knew about the
    predicAon GENESIS 15:7-15.
    JOSEPH TOOK AN OATH
    And took an oath of the
    children of Israel, not of his
    brethren only, but of their

    given a strong witness to
    GOD, he wanted his bones
    to declare his faith in the
    great promise of GOD, His
    body was not buried, it was
    simply embalmed and kept
    above ground in a coffin ,
    which was kept by various
    families of believers, for
    over four hundred years
    Israel did inherit the

    remember the people
    needed water , GOD told
    Moses to walk over to
    parAcular rock and call for 
    water to gush out, the result
    is the miracle of GOD, which
    was supposed to be eye
    witness account of the
    event to know that it was
    GOD meeAng their needs
    that GOD himself provided
    for them, but Moses had
    disobeyed GOD, He did the
    exact opposite of what GOD
    had instructed Moses failed
    to honor GOD he spoke to
    the people in anger instead
    of addressing the rock as
    commanded by GOD he lash
    at the people calling them
    rebels Moses had not giving
    GOD full credit and the
    glory for providing the water
    , he took some of the credit
    himself , in anger he shout
    out at the people must we
    bring you water by saying
    we Moses was assuming
    some credit to himself this
    was serious offence to GOD,
    for GOD will not share His
    glory with any man, Moses
    struck the rock with his
    staff instead of speaking to
    it as GOD Had commanded,
    with anger he struck the
    rock Moses failed to
    acknowledge GOD as his
    sole provider for His people,
    he was acAng ungodly,
    unrighteous and completely
    out of control before the
    people he has commifed
    terrible sin disobedience .
    This was the reason Moses
    was disallowed or barred
    from entering the promise
    land, Moses accepted the
    judgment of GOD and
    accept the fact, he began to
    pray for the sovereign LORD 
    to appoint a successor, If
    Moses was leaving the
    scene, another leader had
    to be appointed, the people
    will desperately need a
    leader, without a leader
    they will be wondering
    about, lost and scafered
    GOD must give a leader to
    conAnue leading His people
    to the promise land

    be your head? Not only as
    captain general of their
    force during the war, but the
    chief ruler of them

    not the LORD will take
    vengeance on them for it,

    he restrained them not
    14)And therefore I have
    sworn unto the house of Eli,
    that the iniquity of Eli’s
    house shall not be purged
    with sacrifice nor offering
    for ever
    15)And Samuel lay unal the
    morning, and opened the
    doors of the house of the
    LORD, and Samuel feared to
    show Eli the vision
    16)Then Eli called Samuel,
    and said Samuel, my son,
    and he answered, here I am
    17)And he said, what is the
    thing that the LORD hath
    said unto thee? I pray thee
    hide it not from me: GOD do
    so to thee, and more also, if
    thou hide any thing from me
    of all the things that he said
    unto thee
    18)And Samuel told him
    every whit , and hid nothing
    from him and he said, it is
    the LORD; let him do what
    seemeth him good
    1 SAMUEL 3:10-18
    THE CALL AND SPECIFIC
    TASK OF SAMUEL
    And GOD and stood where
    Samuel lay before his eye in
    the vision or prophecy ,
    some visible physical shape
    or a bright splendor an
    illustraAon appearance of
    the glory of GOD and called
    as at other Ames, Samuel,
    Samuel repeaAng his name ,
    in order to be more to
    moAvate ,it is something
    more than a voice; there
    was an objecAve presence,
    aeer GOD issue the third
    call , it dawned on Eli that
    GOD was issuing a call to
    Samuel, perceiving that it
    was the voice of GOD that
    Samuel heard, instructed
    him what to say, though it 
    was a disgrace to Eli, for
    GOD’S call to be directed to
    Samuel,
     
    consequently , Eli
    instructed Samuel on how
    to response to GOD’S call,
    then Samuel answered,
    speak for thy servant is
    listening
    The message of GOD’S call
    that Samuel was to deliver
    was disturbing message for
    the young man to receive,, it
    was a message of
    condemnaAon and
    judgment against the family
    of Eli, GOD was about ready
    to execute a terrifying
    shocking judgment in Israel,
    GOD declared that He was
    ready to judge Israel sharply,
    that every ear that heard of
    the calamity would Angle,
    arousing terrifying fear and
    distress , be struck with
    terror this was verified in
    Eli and his daughter in-law
    parAcularly who, at the
    news fell into labor and
    died, the calamity which is
    referred to what will
    happen: Israel will be
    defeated in war by the
    PhilisAnes losing 30, 000
    foot soldiers, Eli’s two sons
    Hophni and Phinehas would
    be killed and Eli himself
    would die when receiving a
    report from baflefield and
    when Eli heard of the
    capture of the Ark he will
    fell down and broke his
    neck, the death of the three
    priest would mean the
    complete change of the
    priesthood, the ark itself
    would be captured by the
    PhilisAnes, above all else, 
    this would shock and strike
    terror in the heart of the
    Israelites , for the Ark of
    GOD was the very symbol of
    GOD’S presence among
    them, to many of the
    people, the loss of the Ark
    meant the loss of GOD’S
    presence, GOD would no
    longer be present with them
    to guide, protect, and
    provide for them .
    GOD knew exactly what
    was going to happen in the
    coming judgment upon
    Israel, Samuel and the
    people had no idea, but
    GOD did; therefore, he was
    able to pronounce that the
    judgment would be
    terrifying and shocking, a
    judgment that will shake the
    very culture of Israel, not
    only would there be a
    massive loss of life, but the
    very religion and priesthood
    of the naAon would be
    shaken to the foundaAon
    THE INIQUITY WHICH HE
    KNOW BECAUSE HIS SON
    MADE THEMSELVES VILE
    For I have told him that I
    will judge his house for ever,
    that is, bring his judgments
    upon them, which should
    conAnue on them to their
    ufer destrucAon; Eli’s family
    was to be judged because
    Eli had condoned the
    terrible, gross sins of his
    sons, being the father of
    chief priest, Eli should have
    restrained his son and
    enforced a strict discipline
    upon them, Instead, he
    allowed them to become
    vile, Contemptable, and 
    blasphemous, abhorred
    and accursed in the sight of
    GOD by taken the flesh of
    the people, which did not
    belong to them and by
    corrupAng the women that
    came to the door of the
    Tabernacle for religions
    service they became sAff-
    neck, stubborn, they went
    too far, beyond repentance,
    beyond ever returning to
    GOD, consequently GOD
    pronounced a tragic,
    terrifying judgment; that
    their sin and guilt could
    never be atoned for by
    sacrifice of offering, only
    GOD can tell when a
    persons heart reaches this
    point, the point of never
    repenAng and returning to
    Him, these two sons of Eli
    reached point they rejected
    the appeal of GOD’S grace
    and mercy, and now being
    desAny for judgment of
    GOD
    The message of GOD’S
    judgment was now
    completed, and Samuel lay
    unAl morning, it is not to
    say he slept; it can hardly
    when he consider the
    strange new thing that
    befalling him; what honor
    had been conferred on him
    a child, that the LORD
    should bestow to speak and
    communicate His mind to
    him, and what dreadful
    things were said to Eli’s
    family, GOD had finished
    speaking to Samuel,
    And Samuel feared to show
    Eli the vision; the vison of
    prophecy , what GOD had 
    foretold should befall him
    and his family, Samuel did
    everything he could to avoid
     
    Facing Eli, he did not come
    to him as usual , to know
    whether he wanted
    anything, and being
    impaAent to hear what was
    said by GOD, for he knew Eli
    will ask of the Message of
    the LORD insisAng that
    Samuel share the message,
    he should not hid it from
    him, obediently, Samuel
    shared the message of the
    judgment with Eli, he hid
    nothing, kept nothing from
    Eli, on hearing the judgment
    upon him and his family; Eli
    demonstrated a submissive
    understanding spirit,, he
    knew that he had failed to
    rear his sons in the
    discipline of the LORD, and
    himself had lived a carnal
    life, he was helpless to
    correct his failure, Eli
    response that let GOD do
    what seems Him good to
    the LORD, who knowns
    what is best for His people
    and can do nothing but
    what is good

    And Samuel grew, as in
    stature, so in wisdom and
    the LORD was with him, this
    was the source of his
    strength, by GOD’S special
    gie, but especially by
    establishing his words,
    spoken by Divine
    inspiraAon, there were
    manifest indication of

    and revealed Himself, not by

    audible voice, as he had
    done at first, that is known
    through the whole land,
    from the northern bound,
    Dan to the southern Beer
    Sheba that Samuel was
    established, the LORD
    appeared to Samuel in
    Shiloh the same place
    before the bafle of the

    THE CALL ON SAUL
    1)And it came to pass,
    when Samuel was old, that
    he made his sons judges,
    over Israel
    2)Now the name of his first
    born was Joel, and the
    name of his second, Abiah,
    they were judges in Beer
    sheba
    3)And his sons walked not
    in his ways, but tuned aside
    aeer lucre and took bribe
    and pervert judgment 
    4) Then all the elders of
    Israel gathered themselves
    together, and came to
    Samuel unto Ramah
    5) And said unto him,
    Behold, thou art old, and
    thy sons walk not in thy
    ways; now make us a king to
    judge us like all the nation
    6)But the thing displeased
    Samuel, when they said give
    us a king to judge us, and
    Samuel prayed unto the
    LORD
    7)And the LORD said unto
    Samuel, Hearken unto the
    voice of the people in all
    that, they say unto thee; for
    they have rejected Me, that
    I should not reign over them
    1 SAMUEL 8:1-7
    THE DIVINE CALL ON SAUL
    When Samuel was old, and
    so unfit for his former
    travels and labors, he had
    spent his strength and spirit
    in the faAgue of public
    office, Samuel had grown
    old and his age was
    beginning to affect his
    ability to lead the nation
    new leadership was
    demanded he made his
    sons Judges under him not
    being able through old age
    to go the journeys he used; 
    he sent them, Joel and
    Abijah and appointed them
    to hear and try cases in his
    stead at Beersheba , but
    they lived hypocriAcal lives,
    they did not follow the steps
    of their father, they turned
    away from GOD and
    become greedy of money,
    they accepted bribes and
    perverted jusAce, in such
    controversial cases, they
    accepted bribes and ruled
    in favor of the oppressors or
    guilty parAes , the
    wickedness reminded the
    people of Eli’s two sons and
    they feared of returning to
    the lawless and corrupt
    days ,accordingly a desire
    arose within the people for
    new leadership, then all the
    elders of Israel gathered
    themselves together, at
    some place, these were the
    heads of the tribes and
    fathers of houses and
    families of Israel, the
    principal persons of age and
    authority and came to
    Samuel unto Ramah; the
    place of his naAvity and
    abode, where he dwelled
    and judged Israel, they went
    in a very respecful
    conference with Samuel,
    they laid out their three
    reasons for desiring a King ;
    Samuel was old and his
    sons did not walk in his
    godly ways there they
    desire to have a king just
    like the surrounding
    naAons , they did not
    demand a king aeer GOD’S
    own heart, they should have
    desire a king aeer GOD’S 
    own heart, a man totally
    and wholeheartedly
    commifed to GOD this
    should have being their
    focus; but instead , they
    emphasized just a king like
    other naAons, their eyes
    and hearts were set upon
    the world and its ways
    instead of upon GOD and
    His righteousness, they
    were interested in the world
    of ceremony posiAon,
    security, GOD was not their
    focus
    THE THING DISPLEASED
    SAMUEL
    The thing displeased
    Samuel implies that Samuel
    was displeased, which arose
    from a feeling of ingraAtude
    of the Israelites toward
    himself in desiring that one
    who had done so much for
    them should be superseded
    by a king , the demand for a
    king is most tragic, by
    demanding for a king, they
    were forsaking GOD and
    rejecAng His kingship, His
    authority and rule over their
    lives, GOD instructed
    Samuel to grant the elder’s
    their request for a king, to
    relieve Samuel of his
    restlessness, GOD assured
    him that they were not
    rejecAng Samuel, but GOD
    himself, just as the Israelites
    had done since their
    deliverance from Egypt they
    rejecAng the savior deliverer
    , protector, provider,
    forgenng how the LORD
    saved them , they forget of
    their covenant with GOD
    and other an agreement 
    with a king just like all
    nation.
    1 SAMUEL 10:6-8
    1 SAMUEL 10:6-9
    THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD
    WILL BE UPON THEE
    6) And the Spirit of the
    LORD will come upon thee,
    and thou shalt prophesy
    with them, and shalt be
    turned into another man
    7)And let it be, when these
    signs are come unto thee,
    that thou do as occasion
    serve thee; for GOD is with
    thee
    8)And thou shalt go down
    before me to Gilgal; and,
    behold, I will comedown
    unto thee, to offer burnt
    offerings and sacrifice,
    sacrifice of peace offerings;
    seven days shalt thou tarry,
    All I come to thee, and show
    thee what thou shalt do
    9)And it was so, that when
    he had turned his back to go
    from Samuel, GOD gave him
    another heart; and all those
    signs came to pass that day
    10)And when they came
    thither to the hill, behold, a
    company of prophets met
    him; and the Spirit of GOD
    came upon Him, and he
    prophesied among them
    1 SAMUEL 10:6-9
    THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD
    WILL BE UPON THEE
    The spirit of the LORD will
    come upon thee, this was
    the highest assurance of all
    there that Samuel anointed
    Saul by GOD’S authority and
    thou will prophesy, shall act
    as a prophet, with them
    shall break forth into
    praises of GOD, and ufer
    divers truths and even
    predicAon by the
    inspiraAon of the Holy Spirit,
    he would change, a
    transformed person, his
    whole being will be
    converted ; he will be
    prepared for a King, to serve
    GOD’S people, Saul will be
    wonderfully transformed by
    the Spirit of GOD , shalt turn
    into another man, that is,
    thou shall be suddenly
    endowed with another
    Spirit, filled with skill in
    Divine things, with courage,
    and wisdom.
    And let it be, when these
    signs are come unto thee
    are all fulfilled, Saul was to
    carry out his duty as king to
    the very best of his ability,
    that GOD is with him, GOD
    would show Saul how to
    lead the people and how to
    established the kingdom of
    Israel, for GOD is with Him
    therefore he need not fear
    engaging in any acAvity that
    might be for the glory of
    GOD, and good of the
    kingdom, Samuel then 
    instructed Saul to Gilgal and
    wait seven days for his
    coming, at the end of seven
    days, Samuel promised to
    come and conduct worship
    service, presenAng offering
    and sacrifice to the LORD at
    that Ame, Samuel would
    give Saul further,
    instrucAon, telling him
    exactly how he was to do,
    in the then present
    emergency or difficulty on
    his hand; and this he said to
    encourage him under the
    weight and burden of
    government laid upon him,
    to become established as
    the King of Israel
    GOD gave him another
    heart, he immediately GOD
    also turned for him another
    hear, that is GOD turned
    him round by giving him a
    changed heart, a new heart
    and a new Spirit. A heart fit
    for government; filled with
    wisdom and prudence to
    rule a people
    1 SAMUEL 16:1
    1 SAMUEL 16:1
    THE REASON FOR THE
    DIVINE CALL ON DAVID
    1)And the LORD said unto
    Samuel, how long wilt thou
    mourn for Saul, seeing I
    have rejected him from
    reigning over Israel? Fill
    thine horn with oil, and go, I
    will send thee to Jesse the
    Beth-lehemite; for I have
    provided Me a king among
    his sons
    1 SAMUEL 16:1
    THE REASON FOR DAVID
    DIVINE CALL
    The LORD rebuke Samuel,
    for he had grieved over His
    LORD rejecAon of Saul far
    too long, Samuel’s long
    mourning, but GOD warn
    Samuel not to morn any
    longer because of Saul
    disobedience , the LORD
    had rejected and his
    decision is final that he had
    been rejected as King and
    the Kingdom was torn from
    him,, it had been the sad
    duty of Samuel to inform 
    him about Saul about the
    rejecAon of GOD,
    delivering the message of
    Saul rejecAon had been a
    difficult mission for Samuel,
    from the beginning Samuel
    had great hope for Saul, for
    Saul for appeared to have
    all the tributes needed to
    be a successful leader , he
    was tall, handsome, and had
    a charismaAc personality,
    moreover when he stated as
    a king he was both humble,
    respecRul and bold
    courageous Spirit , so Saul
    was the kind of man desired
    to be a leader, moreover,
    Saul had been chosen to be
    king by the LORD Himself,
    and the LORD had
    transformed Him, giving
    him a new and changed
    heart, no man had more to
    offer than Saul
    But Saul had failed and been
    condemned by GOD,
    rejected as King, someday
    someAme Saul will be
    removed from the throne to
    another Dynasty and a new
    kingdom will be established,
    which was terrible tragedy
    for Saul and his house hold
    Saul failure grieved the soul
    of Samuel he became
    discouraged, depressed and
    downcast
    FILL THINE HORN WITH OIL
    Fill thine horn with oil; the
    Holy anoinAng oil and go,
    and I will send thee to Jesse
    the Bethlehemite; the son
    of Jesse, for I have provided
    me a king among his sons;
    but which he says not; this
    was reserved for a later 
    discovery; however GOD
    had in His own mind picked
    Him, whom He would
    hereaeer made known; this
    was a king for Himself raised
    up to fulfill His will: Saul was
    Chosen by Him but it was as
    a request of the people of
    Israel, and so he was their
    King, but this was not at
    their desire, GOD had
    chosen a new King , not
    with Samuel nor with their
    knowledge , but of GOD
    good will and pleasure, the
    fulfill all my will and to serve
    My glory , He should now
    arise and fill his horn with
    oil and to Bethlehem to the
    house of Jesse, for GOD had
    Chosen one of His sons to
    be new King

    him in the midst of his
    brethren; and the Spirit of
    the LORD came upon David
    from that day forward, so
    Samuel rose up, and went to

    1 SAMUEL 16:13
    THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD
    CAME UPON DAVID
    Then Samuel took the horn
    of oil, and anointed David in
    the midst of his brethren,
    his brethren do not seem to
    have any idea of their
    brother’s high desAny, the
    true significance of the act
    appears to have been
    concealed from them, they
    may have supposed that
    Samuel had selected David
    for a pupil in his propheAc
    school, even Jesse and
    David is not made clear,
    Certainly Eliab and the other
    had no idea of any special
    greatness being instore for
    his brother David, He was
    the youngest of the Sons of
    Jesse; David was the least
    set by all the sons of Jesse,
    when David arrived, and he 
    was ruddy, also of beauAful
    eyes and good looks, the
    LORD pointed him out to
    Samuel the prophet as the
    chosen one; whereupon he
    anointed him in the midst of
    his brethren, with the
    secrecy with which Samuel
    was directed to manage
    the enAre affair ; and which
    was necessary to observe,
    to keep it from the
    knowledge of Saul and
    Eliab’s treatment of David
    aeer wards , who would
    never have addressed him
    in the manner he did, had
    he known that he was the
    proposed anointed King,
    that he was selected out of
    them, and separated from
    them, and privately
    anointed by Samuel, and
    separated from them and
    privately anointed by
    Samuel along with the
    anoinAng the Spirit of the
    LORD came upon David
    from that day forward, the
    greatest gie in all the world
    is the gie of GOD’S Spirit,
    when we approach GOD
    through CHRIST, GOD places
    His own Spirit on us in ever
    core of our being , we

    But the Spirit of the LORD
    depart from Saul, as a Spirit
    of prophesy as at first, as a
    spirit of wisdom and
    prudence in civil
    government, and as a spirit
    of resilience and courage,
    which came upon him when
    he was first made king, and
    conAnued with him All this
    Ame, but which GOD now
    took away as a punishment
    of his sins depriving him of
    that prudence, courage, and
    promptness, wisdom and
    other gies wherewith he
    had qualified him for his
    public office, he seemed to
    be a demoniac possessed

    permission, who delivered
    him up to be maltreated by

    up in him unruly passion, at
    Ame as a mad man, such as
    envy, rage, fear or despair ,
    which is why he grew
    restless, bad-tempered , and
    discontented , hateful ,
    suspicious, frequently
    trembling full of anxiety of
    mind, what is the case, Saul
    had disobeyed GOD and was
    now reaping what he had
    sown, GOD’S Spirit had lee
    Saul to live the sinful ,
    wicked,, and disobedient life
    he had chosen, from that
    Ame, David was the central
    figure, as David’s
    preparation to be king 
    began, it provides a clear

    sovereignty and His
    guidance throughout David’s
    life

    THE REASON OF SPECIFIC
    TASK ON SOLOMON
    3) And Solomon loved the
    LORD walking in the statutes
    of David his father: only
    sacrificed and burnt incense
    in high places
    4)And the king went to
    Gibeon to sacrifice there;
    for that was the great high
    place: a thousand burnt
    offerings did Solomon offer
    upon that altar
    5)In Gibeon the LORD
    appeared to Solomon in a
    dream by night: and GOD
    said, ask what I shall give
    thee
    6)And Solomon said, thou
    hast showed unto thy
    servant David my father
    great mercy, according as he
    walked before thee in truth,
    and in righteousness, and in
    uprightness of heart with
    thee; and thou hast kept for
    him this great kindness, that
    thou hast given him a son to
    sit on his throne, as it is this
    day
    7)And now, O LORD my
    GOD, thou hast made they
    servant king instead of
    David my father; and I am
    but a lifle child I know not
    how to go out or come in
    8)And thy servant is in the
    midst of they people which
    thou hast chosen, a great
    people, that cannot be 
    numbered nor counted for
    mulAtude
    9)Give therefore they
    servant an understanding
    heart to judge thy people,
    that I may discern between
    good and bad for who is
    able to judge this thy so
    great a people?
    1 KING 3:3-9
    SOLOMON LOVED THE
    LORD WALKING IN THE
    STATUTE OF DAVID
    Solomon began his reign in
    worship and prayer, sensing
    a deep need of wisdom to
    lead and govern the naAon,
    his heart was right with
    GOD, although he go wrong
    in the mafer of high places,
    which clearly show that the
    worship of the high places,
    although condone , and
    indeed accepted but not
    strictly lawful and right due
    to the polluAon of
    Idolatrous worship ,yet in
    general, his heart was right
    with GOD, walking
    according to the statutes or
    the commandments of GOD,
    which are called the statue
    of David not only because
    there are diligently pracAce
    by David, but also because
    the observaAon of them
    was so earnestly pushed
    upon Solomon, and forAfied
    with David’s authority and
    command . And the king
    went to Gibeon the
    Tabernacle of the
    congregaAon and the brass
    alter of burnt offering to
    sacrifice there , for that was
    the great high place, the
    Tabernacle made by Moses,
    and the altar, so that it was
    more dignified palace and
    more scared because of
    them, a thousand burnt 
    offerings were sacrificed to
    the LORD, by Solomon,
    indicaAng a huge and joyful
    occasion in celebraAng the
    crowing of Solomon as a
    king, once the worship
    service had been
    conducted, Solomon and
    the mulAtude of people
    reAred to their tents and
    house for the night, aeer
    having fallen asleep, the
    LORD appeared to Solomon
    in a dream, a Divine, and
    supernatural one, a
    propheAc dream, a night
    vision, such as GOD use to
    speak to His prophets, he
    was suddenly confronted by
    the LORD who appeared to
    him , being very pleased
    with the worship and
    sacrifices Solomon had
    Offered , the LORD told
    Solomon to ask for or make
    any request he wanted,
    Solomon heart was
    overflowing with graAtude
    to the LORD for His
    goodness to Him as a King,
    that GOD had been very
    kind and showed great
    mercy to his father David
    ,because David had been
    faithful to the LORD in the
    true worship of GOD in
    belief, pracAce, and defense
    of the true religion and had
    lived a righteous and upright
    life, that GOD had given a
    son to conAnue David’s
    dynasty .
    Solomon knew that he was
    given the privilege of ruling
    only by the grace of GOD
    and only because his father
    David had lived righteously 
    Solomon knowing how
    inexperience he was in
    Government, Solomon
    referred to himself as a
    lifle child to rule, he did not
    know how to carry out his
    duAes and perform his task
    as King, he was helpless and
    unqualified for the task, so
    Solomon made a striking
    request to GOD , he
    requested an
    understanding, discerning
    heart so that he might
    govern GOD’S people a
    peculiar people above all
    people on the earth a great
    people, that cannot be
    numbered and discerning
    between good and evil, right
    and wrong, He stated that
    without wisdom he would
    not be able to govern the
    great naAon Israel the
    people of GOD, for who is
    able to judge thy so great a
    people? Who are so very
    numerous, and have so
    many cases to be heard and
    many of them very intricate
    and difficult; so that no man
    is equal to such arduous
    work, unless he has more
    than an ordinary capacity
    given him
    by GOD,

    MANIFASTATION OF THE
    SPIRIT OF GOD UPON
    SOLOMON
    10)And the speech pleased
    the LORD, that Solomon had
    asked this things
    11)And GOD said unto him
    because thou hast asked
    this things and hast not 
    asked for thyself long life,
    neither hast asked for riches
    nor asked the life of thine
    enemies ; but hast asked for
    thyself understanding to
    discern judgment
    12) Behold, I have done
    according to thy words; Lo ,I
    have given thee a wise and
    understanding heart; so that
    there was none like thee
    before thee, neither aeer
    thee shall any arise like unto
    thee
    13)And I have also given
    thee that which thou hast
    not asked both riches, and
    honor, so that there shall
    not be any among the kings
    like unto thee all they days
    1 KING 3:10
    BECAUSE THOU HAST
    ASKED THIS THING
    The speech please the
    LORD that Solomon had
    requested ,Solomon’s
    striking request pleases
    GOD, and GOD confirmed
    Solomon’s request, He had
    not requested what most 
    people would have: wealth
    long life, and prosperity,
    which is naturally desired by
    men and also great worldly
    blessing; and especially to
    be wished for a king living in
    great pomp and splendor,
    nor you ask of life of your
    enemies; victories over
    them and to live in power,
    such as are ambiAous
    haughty and revengeful ,
    instead, Solomon had
    requested an
    understanding, discerning
    heart so that he might
    minister jusAce among the
    people, because of
    Solomon’s wise and humble
    request,
    Behold, I have done
    according to thy words,
    expressed in his request, He
    not only promised he would
    grant him it, but he had
    already done it, GOD made
    an astounding promise to
    Solomon, he would be given
    a wise and discerning heart,
    , and I have also given thee
    that which thou hast not
    asked, both riches and
    honor, so that there shall
    not be any among the kings
    like unto thee, he will be
    given wealth and honor
    above all his contemporary
    he will be given long life, but
    the promise was
    conditional; it was based on
    obedience, Solomon will
    walk in the way of GOD and
    obey LORD commandment

    THE REASON OF DIVINE
    SPECIFIC TASK ON ELIJAH
    15)And Elijah said, as the
    LORD of hosts liveth, before
    whom I stand, I will surely
    show my self unto him
    today
    16)So Obidiah went to
    meet Ahab, and told him:
    and Ahab went to meet
    Elijah
    17)And it came to pass,
    when Ahab saw Elijah, that
    Ahab said unto him, art
    thou he that troubleth
    Israel?
    18)And he answered, I have
    not troubled Israel; but
    thou, and thy father’s
    house, in that ye have
    forsaken the
    commandments of the
    LORD, and thou hast,
    followed Baalim

    prophets of Baal four
    hundred and fiey and the
    prophets of the graves four
    hundred, which eat at

    20)So Ahab sent unto all the
    children of Israel, and
    gathered the prophets
    together unto mount
    Carmel
    21) And Elijah came unto all
    the people, and said, how
    long halt ye between two
    opinions? If the LORD be

    Baal, then follow him and
    the people answered him

    DIVINE SPECIFIC TASK
    ON ELIJAH
    AND Elijah said as the
    LORD of hosts lives, who

    whom I stand, whom I serve
    as one of his Prophet and
    minister he was, he take this
    oath to assured Obadiah
    that he would certainly be
    upon the sport, or to be
    found and not expose him
    to danger, So Obadiah went
    to meet Ahab, and told him,
    that Elijah was in such a
    place, and had desire him
    that day wherever he
    pleased, for upon the
    prophets Oath Obadiah
    saAsfied and was in no fear
    of delivering the message,
    Ahab went to meet Elijah
    AHAB SAID ART THOU HE
    THAT TROUBLE ISRAEL
    Art thou he that troubles
    Israel, I at last met with
    thee, hast thou ventured in
    to my presence o thou
    disturber of Israel, by
    means of this terrible
    drought ? author of this
    famine, and of all of these
    calamiAes and by opposing
    the religion of Baal, but
    Elijah threw back his charge;
    it is not I who have brought
    Israel into trouble, but thou
    and thy family, in that you
    have forsaken the
    Commandment of LORD
    and thou go aeer Baalim,
    the Calf-worship, which was
    introduce to the land the
    false gods, the Asherah, and
    perhaps other Canaanites
    idols, being included,
    instead of apologies , and
    pleas for pardon, Elijah 
    meet the charge with a
    great boldness and
    undaunted courage, not
    fearing the face of the king,
    being sent to show himself
    to him in the name of GOD
    the almighty, I have not
    troubled Israel
    countercharge, and make a
    sudden demand, Elijah’s
    confrontaAon with Ahab is
    a picture of judgment of sin
    stricken the land because
    Drought and famine and
    wickedness
    That this great controversy
    between thee and me may
    be decided; that it may be

    GOD, and therefore the
    proper object of the
    people’s worship, now
    therefore send, and gather
    to me all Israel unto mount
    Camel, no doubt but more
    discourse passed between
    Ahab and Elijah, who was
    the true GOD, and about
    adultery , as the cause of
    want of rain, and therefore
    Elijah desired that all Israel
    might be convened, that it
    might be openly and
    publicly done, which was

    laid hold of them, every one
    of them and brought them
    down to the brook of Kishon
    and executed the sentence

    could make no opposiAon,
    being himself also
    astonished at the at the
    stupendous miracles, that it
    was owing to the idolatry

    the brooks were dried up
    that the land might not be

    hand of the LORD was on
    Elijah giving him more than
    common strength of body,
    as well as courage and ran
    before Ahab to the entrance
    of Jezreel recked about
    sixteen miles from Camel;
    this showed his humility, 
    that he not exalted with the
    wonderful things GOD had
    done by him, and that he
    bore no ill will to Ahab but
    was ready to show him all
    honor and respect due to
    him as king; but enter into
    the city to instruct the
    people, and warn them
    against her idolatries
