God has called us of the Leadership Team of Grace Message Church Ministries to be faithful unto the heavenly mission in which He has sanctified and ordained us unto, while dwelling in these mortal, corruptible, terrestrial frames. Nevertheless, immature Christians are to worry about saints who are doing the Father’s business, in which may be on a higher level than they are on. Church folks these days, being the 2018th year, they not understanding, that their assignments are totally different than others: for example; Isaac’s God promised birth and appointed mission, he being ordained and sanctified; nevertheless, his heavenly assignment was totally different than his drawn-out father Abraham’s; even Jacob’s was different than them both; notwithstanding, they all were employed for the Creator, el Shadday’s pleasure and purpose, Selah. This was said so saints could stop measuring themselves with themselves. In case you’re too blind to understand why these food for thoughts are and were penned, they are written to reveal that God had Samuel to anoint Saul King of Israel; but God was using Saul’s son mightily; which would later deem as if Jonathan was working against Saul his father the king; but God will use the people to deliver Jonathan out of his father’s hands. In the meantime; while the priesty acting priest Ahijah, now having his out front religious moment as is seen in the 36th verse of the 14th chapter of the First scroll of Samuel; after resting so long under the pomegranate tree (and not consulting the Lord God for guidance, as is shown in verses 2-3 of the 14th chapter of the First scroll of Samuel). Ahilah showing off because the battle was now in Israel’s favor, that’s when the fearful will step up and try to take control, as if they stayed faithful in the time of destress. We also see King lazy Saul stepping up, asking God in the 37th verse of the 14th chapter of the First scroll of Samuel: SHALL I GO DOWN AFTER THE PHILISTINES? Oh, Saul; it’s a I thing now; for real??? And Saul continues speaking unto the LORD God, and Ahijah the priest was standing right there saying nothing. Saul asked, will you God deliver the Philistines into the hands of Israel? Guess what; God answered King Saul not a word? The reason why, God was working a mighty work through courageous Jonathan and courageous Jonathan’s armourbearer; not fearful Saul. For Jonathan knew how to consult the LORD God while moving; for they that wait (which is ministering) upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth; the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Yet, Saul caused all his soldiers to bow down like serpents eating blood off the ground, because they were faint and could not walk, neither run. That’s when Saul exercised his blind authority again; the 38th verse of the 14th chapter of the First scroll of Samuel reveals, Saul, out of having his feelings hurt; he called for all the chiefs of the people; and said, as is shown in the Amplified Version: let us see how this sin; which caused (God being silent at my request) arose today. Now Saul was angry and his words went a little like this: as the LORD liveth, which saved Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall surely die. (Saul’s men knew that Jonathan had eaten the honey in the woods) but, each chief of each tribe said nothing. The Word of God says it in these words: but there was not a man among all the people that answered Saul. Saul knowing that it was one of his men who had disobeyed him and not his very own son (my, how quickly Saul forgot, Jonathan was not among them when he gave that not thought out command). Saul said, all you folks stand on one side and I and Jonathan will stand on the other side. The people sarcastically answered Saul with a smirk on their faces saying; do what seemeth good unto thee. That’s when Saul pridefully prayed, saying: LORD God of Israel, give a perfect lot and show the right. The lot fell upon Saul and Jonathan; which Saul thought, it wasn’t me, so Jonathan was taken, but the people escaped Saul’s wrath. Saul forgetting the great victory in which he kept acknowledging that the LORD God wrought. Lots were now cast between Saul and Jonathan and Jonathan was taken (in which we of the leadership team say) Jonathan had to be taken!!!! The natural eyes see the lot pointing Jonathan out as being at fault; while we see the lot as in pointing out the vessel in which God chose to use. Even as when lots were cast in the 26th verse of the 1st chapter of the scroll of Acts and Matthias was taken. Also when the soldiers cast lots for Yhowshua’ garment, and who the lots fell upon, they took the garment. Jonathan was a symbolic picture of Matthias and a symbolic picture of the anointed garment of Yhowshua. King Saul’s rage blinded him even the more because he kept putting his foot in his mouth. That’s when Saul asked Jonathan; what hast thou done? Jonathan admitted, when I began to feel faint, which began to cause me not being able to walk, neither run, I knew my eyes needed enlightening. So I tasted of what you forbid the army to eat; yes, I dipped the end of my rod which was in my hand and I did eat, and lo, I must die (because it worked for me). Oh Lord, why did Jonathan answer in that manner, as some would have asked (here’s the reason, Jonathan was still courageous, even when facing his own father’s wrath). Saul’s raging answer to Jonathan was this; may God do so and more also, for you shall surely die (with your bold self). Please pay attention and see the salvation of the LORD, which comes in many forms, shapes and people. In the 45th verse of the 14th chapter of the First scroll of Samuel we see God using Saul’s whole army against him; for the people in the 39th verse of the 14th chapter of the First scroll of Kings (who would not give Jonathan up when Saul asked them what went wrong; their reply was: shall Jonathan die, who hath wrought this great salvation in Israel? God forbid: as the LORD liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall to the ground (in which you king Saul caused us to eat blood from the ground, back in the 32nd verse of the 14th chapter of the First scroll of Samuel. For Jonathan at lease had sense to eat honey from the honeycomb which was extended in the branches, while using the end of his rod in his hand. Has anyone noticed, Jonathan was the one in Israel holding the rod, which identified him at that temporary moment in time as the shepherd of Israel. This is why we see in verses 3-4 of the 18th chapter of the First scroll of Samuel, Jonathan stripping himself of his armour and giving it to David, his successor (and David accepting it); but when Saul tried to give David his armour, David refused it; because Saul’s armour was not tried, as was Jonathan’s courageous armour. So (God used Saul’s very own people) to rescue Jonathan, that he died not. Can we get everybody for the moment to say, I am on the Lord’s side!!! I am waiting upon the Lord, and my strength is renewed; I am able to walk and run; while being mounted up with wings as eagles, which causes me not to be wearisome, tired nor faint. Here is where we of the Leadership Team with be pausing for the moment; for enough has been said to make you go hmm!!! We will speak with you at a later date, that’s if it’s the Lord’s will, until then, sayonara!!!!!
